When you do this, TomTom gets to find out what routes your device has been taking. The data is anonymous, but it's given TomTom an enormous pile of route and speed data, which they've used to tie community data to routing with their new IQ Routesâ�¢ feature, which calculates routes using the actual recordedÂ average speeds of travel to calculate your trip rather than posted speed limits, giving you an extremely accurate prediction of how long any given route will actually take at any given time.

Help When You Need It Extensive safety features including â��Help Meâ�� menu, to give drivers direct access to emergency services and roadside assistance; Icon-driven menu system Emergency menu gives you fast direct access to emergency numbers and direction to the nearest assistance New -- TomTom IQ Routesâ�¢ Did You Know? IQ Routes technology gives you a faster route in over 50% of all your journeys. TomTom provides the fastest and most efficient routing possible. IQ Routes uses historical road-speed data from millions of TomTom users to calculate your optimal route for that specific time and day. Giving you local knowledge on a global scale.. We all know traffic is different during a Monday morning rush hour from a lazy Sunday afternoon. And we all want the best shortcuts to bring us to our destination in the fastest way possible. But heavy traffic, speed bumps, traffic lights, rotaries and even pedestrians or shopping crowds can slow you down. That handy shortcut youâ��re looking for changes depending on the time and day so the shortest route isnâ��t necessarily going to be the fastest all the time! Letâ��s take an example: The standard shortest route from Leominster, MA to the downtown Boston shopping district at a relatively quiet time, and without any hold-ups, should take an hour and 18 minutes (screen 1). Infographic IQ Routes: However, that same shortest route will typically take you 20 minutes longer during a busier period (reality) (screen 2) Using â��local knowledgeâ�� gained from the actual travel experiences of thousands of TomTom users on these very roads, IQ Routesâ�¢ instantly works out your optimal route from Leominster to Downtown Boston. It also calculates your realistic journey time, based on real speeds people are able to drive, not just speed limits. (screen 3) As you can see, in this case your route is now about 15 miles longer, but will save you 12 minutes (and a ton of stress!). Now thatâ��s a shortcut! Twelve minutes may not sound much, but itâ��s over 20% off your journey time. Just consider for a moment how much time that will save you over a whole yearâ�¦ Exactly! And itâ��s not just urban driving. Whether its roundabouts, crossroads, schoolchildren or just good old-fashioned congestion. Anywhere the traffic flow can vary, IQ Routes can make a real difference. How it works Millions of TomTom users worldwide voluntarily provide us with anonymous historical speed-data from each of their journeys every time they connect their device to TomTom HOME. As a result, TomTom now has a huge database, containing billions of miles of real customer driving experience, collected over the years from more than 7 million TomTom users. Using this data, TomTomâ��s unique IQ Routes technology calculates your optimal route. This route is based on actual speed data driven on roads, not just maximum speed limits, taking into account any hold-ups that might slow you down (busy junctions, zebra crossings and even shopping crowds). This data enhances the quality of TomTom navigation across the board, but is particularly helpful in improving the quality of detailed routing we give you for the specific time of day and day of the week of your chosen trip. Drive like local So even if you drive through unfamiliar areas, you still can drive like a local by knowing the short cuts that are based on the collective driving experience of millions of TomTom users. New -- Advanced Lane Guidance Extra clarity when you navigate difficult junctions. See clearly the lane you must follow at junctions, so you donâ��t miss your turn. At complex intersections, you also get a clear 3D image showing your route through the junction. Leaving you relaxed and safe. When you approach complex motorway intersections, you also get a still 3D image on your screen that clearly indicates the lane(s) you need to take. Advanced lane guidance keeps you relaxed and safe through even the most complex intersections and in even the heaviest traffic. Letâ��s take an example: Youâ��re on the outskirts of Paris, driving on the â��Autoroute du Soleilâ�� towards Lille, when a complex junction approaches (screen 1) You have your normal 3D navigation view up to 800 metres from the junction. (screen 2) From 800 meters until youâ��re through the junction, your TomTom device displays a clear image of the junction. This shows the relevant road signs with numbers and directions, and a blinking arrow that clearly shows which lane you must take. Your screen throughout this has the still image and your status bar remains updated with dynamic information. (screen 3) As soon as youâ��re through the junction, your screen reverts to the normal view.Â TomTom MapShare -- Maps Served Fresh Daily With TomTom Map Share you can update your map directly on your device as and when you spot road changes, and download daily updates from millions of Map Share users worldwide via your computer. Enabling Map Share gives you: instantly improved maps every day on your TomTom device entry into the worldâ��s largest navigation community the ability to share improvements daily with other TomTom users full control over improvements that are uploaded and downloaded the best and most accurate maps available â�� always. Map Share changes you can make instantly: Block / unblock street Reverse traffic direction Edit street name Add missing Points of Interest Edit Points of Interest. Report other error When joining the Map Share community you can select various 'levels of trust'. You might decide to only receive improvements that have been verified by TomTom or changes that have been submitted by tructed sources, by many , or by some people. Hands-Free Calling In more and more places, it is becoming illegal to use cell phones while driving without a hands-free kit. Your TomTom's Bluetooth capability, microphone and speaker lets you match it to any bluetooth-capable phone to make hands-free mobile phone calls. Plus, you can automatically answer your phone calls, for improved safety and comfort. Map Guarantee Due to Amazon's high volume of sales and frequency of inventory turnover, just about every portable GPS navigator sold by Amazon.com will come with the most recent map version. TomTom however, goes one better. Because TomTom regularly releases new maps, there's always a small chance that a newer map has been released since the production of your TomTom. With TomTomâ��s latest map guarantee, if the map preloaded on your device is not the latest version, you can download it FREE at TomTom HOME. This no longer requires the map check code. Checking in TomTom HOME is easy: Make sure you have the latest version of TomTom HOME installed on your computer Connect your device to your computer In the 'File' menu click 'Use Latest Map Guarantee'. NOTE: if this option is not shown your device has the latest map. You can check as many times as you like within 30 days from the date you first use your TomTom device. Enhanced Positioning Technology Enhanced Positioning Technology uses movement and gravity sensors to calculate driversâ�� positions when GPS signals are unavailable. Enhanced Positioning Technology ensures the device continues to navigate to its destination, even in circumstances where there may not be a direct line-of-sight connection to a satellite (for example, when driving in a city with tall buildings, underpasses or bridges), to provide a smoother navigation experience. Voice Address Input Simply speak the city, street name and address number you would like to travel to, and the device will automatically calculate the route. New -- Send Addresses Directly from Google Maps or Mapquest Search for the location you want. Pick "Send to GPS".

TomTom HOME HOME is TomTom's free software program that gives you access to a huge array of services as well as the global community of TomTom users.

Enhance â�� buy maps, subscribe to traffic and safety camera information services (optional). QuickGPSfix Starting up can seem like a slow business, particularly if youâ��re in a hurry, because the GPS receiver needs to know exactly where each GPS satellite is to calculate your location. But satellites only broadcast their positions once every 30 seconds. So if any of their signals are interrupted, for example by passing high buildings, the whole position-fixing process has to repeat itself again and again until the perfect fix is achieved.Â QuickGPSfix takes a smarter approach. QuickGPSfix can speed up the time it takes to fix your GPS position by downloading the latest satellite data via an Internet connection. Just connect your TomTom device to your computer and TomTom HOME automatically downloads â��QuickGPSfixâ�� â�� a special GPS data file that helps your TomTom fix your position quicker, even when the GPS signal is weak or partially blocked. This unique free serviceÂ helps you fix your position and get navigating faster than ever. On the road or no access to TomTom HOME? Get the same â��QuickGPSfixâ�� data by simply connecting to any TomTom PLUS service, using a wireless data connection. As soon as a connection is established, the â��QuickGPSfixâ�� data is automatically updated. Note: QuickGPSfix data has limited validity. So to keep on getting a faster position-fix, re-connect your device at least once a week. To minimise the amount of data sent over your wireless data connection, this automatic update is only carried out if the data on your device is over 5 days old. The associated data usage of this service is less than 10 Kb per connection. Please contact your mobile service provider to determine the exact costs. To disable this automatic update, just select â��Disable Auto QuickGPSfixâ�� on your TomTom device.

The RDS-TMC receiver accessory comes with a 1-year free subscription to the TMC traffic service . Key features for both Traffic information options Real-time traffic information across the US, using the most accurate and up-to-date sources. Detailed incident reports, delay times estimated, alternative routes proposed and if enabled automatic rerouting. Accurate real-time warnings about dangerous road conditions ahead (fog, snow, ice and so on) anywhere in Europe, Australia and the US. (TomTom application version 6.0 or higher) Clear on-screen animated or spokenÂ traffic alerts as and when you want them. Smart push technology which minimizes the amount of data needed to update traffic information on your device Smart subscription â�� when you buy new maps, the Traffic service automatically becomes available in those countries too. TomTom Traffic Specifics With TomTom Traffic, you can avoid problems and check the road conditions and weather ahead at the same time. TomTom Traffic is delivered via GPRS signal and requires a compatible mobile phone with Bluetooth and a wireless data connection, such as GPRS, UMTS or CDMA, enable you to use PLUS Traffic information on any TomTom device. The advantages of TomTom Traffic are that it delivers information on road and weather conditions, and GPRS signals may be available for areas in which there is no FMÂ radio signal to transmit TMC traffic information (although if there's no radio, it's questionable how much traffic there's going to be). Important notes about TomTom Traffic: To use TomTom Traffic a compatible phone with a wireless data connection (e.g. GPRS) is required. Click here to check if your phone is compatible. Also note that your mobile service provider may charge you for using a wireless data connection. Click here to check the associated data usage of this service. Please contact your mobile service provider to determine the exact costs. TMC Traffic Specifics With an RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver accessory, you can get traffic information from the RDS-TMC Traffic service, which is delivered over unused FM radio channels. The RDS-TMC receiver accessory comes with a 1-year free subscription to the TMC traffic service With some TomTom models, an RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included in the box.

Garmin nüvi 260W 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator

Garmin's nÃ¼vi 260W combines the thinprofile and attractive price point of other nÃ¼vi 200-series GPS with directions in real street names and a wide screen that lets you see more of what's around you as you drive. Garmin's line on the device is that, "the nÃ¼vi 260W gives consumers the most sought-after navigation features, while eliminating many of the premium add-ons. The result is a PND that simply gets you from point A to point B â�� reliably, efficiently, and with style." As with all nÃ¼vis, you get Garmin reliability, the fast satellite lock of a high-sensitivity integrated receiver, a slim, pocket-sized navigator with a gorgeous display, detailed NAVTEQ maps that letsÂ you search by name for more than 6 million points of interest like stores, restaurants or hospitals, and an easy, intuitive interface. Wider screen lets you see more of what's around. Compare these actual size views: 3-inch (diagonal) screen 4.3-inch (diagonal) widescreen The nÃ¼vi 260W comes preloaded with maps for U.S., Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, and features anÂ ultra-slim design. Text-To-Speech The text-to-speech feature of the nÃ¼vi 260W means that device automatically calls out street names (saying "turn right on Main Street" instead of "turn right in 200 feet."). This feature lets drivers keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky roadways. See More of What's Around The 4.3-inch backlit widescreen touchscreen on the nÃ¼vi 260W gives you 70% more actual screen area than a 3.5-inch screen. Primarily this translates into a better view of the area through which you are driving. This is especially useful in showing you what parks, restaurants, ATM, gas stations, etc. are nearby, or in letting you know whether a detour is a good idea. Also, the device itself is larger, meaning controls on the screen are more widely spaced and somewhat easier to push. Smart, Powerful Design The nÃ¼vi 260W is built with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver for extreme accuracy, as well as an SD card slot for storing your media and additional navigation tools, and a USB interface for loading data.The nÃ¼vi display is touchscreen-enabled, making it a cinch to control the device with your fingertips. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to five hours of battery life depending on use. Garmin Lock Garmin's patent pending theft prevention system that disables the unit from performing any functions until the user types in a specific 4-digit PIN or takes the unit to a predetermined secure location First Rate Map Data The nÃ¼vi 260W comes preloaded with City Navigator NT North America--road coverage for the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and nearly 6 million points of interest. City Navigator North America NT gives you everything you need to travel North America. Powered by NAVTEQ, a world leader in premium-quality digital map data, City Navigator brings you the most detailed street maps available so you can navigate with exact, turn-by-turn directions to any address or intersection. Easy To Use Interface Garmin's interface is a key to their success and one of the things that makes their devices such a pleasure to use. Simple controls and sub-screens make it easy to enter or search for destinations and get data about your trip. Beyond Navigation Browse your stored pictures with an easy-to-use JPEG viewer. nÃ¼vi 260W accepts custom points of interest (POIs). View larger. Navigation is just the beginning. nÃ¼vi 260W features travel tools including JPEG picture viewer, world travel clock with time zones, currency converter, measurement converter, calculator and more. It also comes with Garmin Lock, an anti-theft feature, and configurable vehicle icons that let you select car-shaped graphics to show your location on the map. This device is compatible with optional content plug-ins available via SD card, such as theÂ Garmin Travel Guides and Garmin SaversGuide provide detailed data for attractions and information on nearby merchants offering discounts, so you can customize nÃ¼vi for your travel needs. Garmin has also added the ability for customers to add custom points of interest (POIâ��s) from third parties such as school zones and safety cameras.
