About this deal
TomTom’s original XL was great for anyone wanting a large-screen satnav at a reasonable price. As the name suggests, the IQ Routes edition has the more advanced route planning system, which has been a boon in TomTom’s pricier models for a while now. If you already have a TomTom account, you can now log into MyDrive Connect to manage the content of your navigation device. Advanced lane guidance shows an image of upcoming motorway junctions, with flashing green arrows indicating which lane you should be in. In towns, this is limited to smaller arrows in the status bar, but it’s still handy to know in advance which lane to get into. Voice prompts are very clear, although the XL IQ Routes Edition can’t read out road names as the Go Live models can.
User Manuals – TomTom Support User Manuals – TomTom Support
As we’ve come to expect from TomTom, the XL’s main driving screen is incredibly easy to understand. Road names are clearly marked, and the latest maps show building outlines and even paths in parks – useful details when you’ve parked up and need to walk to your destination. If you are a first-time user, you need to create a TomTom account and then log in to manage the content of your navigation device through MyDrive Connect. IQ Routes uses historical data from millions of TomTom users to calculate routes based on actual road speeds at different times of day. The data also covers speeds during weekdays and weekends, so can plan the optimal route for both cases. IQ Routes won’t help you to avoid unforeseen events, such accidents, but it’s still great for avoiding traffic hotspots, such as schools and busy shopping streets.
