March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TomTom, the world's largest portable navigation solutions provider, today announces ground- breaking features and unique content on the new TomTom GO range, including its exclusive IQ Routes technology and Advanced Lane Guidance.

The innovative IQ Routes technology is based on actual average speeds measured on roads, rather than posted speed limits. This means that the new TomTom GO range determines a route by considering all possible routes and then selecting the one that takes the least time based on recent historical data. In almost 50% of all journeys, this results in a faster route, and saves significant travel time, fuel, and money. In addition, the new TomTom GO series includes TomTom's Advanced Lane Guidance feature. Advanced Lane Guidance provides users with realistic representations of complex highway junctions and lane-specific visual directions that take the stress out of navigating these otherwise difficult junctions.
