The web-based Route Planner gives free access to Europe’s most accurate and detailed traffic information**. The Route Planner also incorporates TomTom’s IQ routes which calculates the fastest route to a destination and provides accurate travel times, depending on the time of the day and day of the week. IQ Routes is based on collective travel time experience of 30 million TomTom users.
“The Route Planner is growing much faster than expected. We are pleased that users visiting the TomTom Route Planner have given it a high rating and that we have been rated ‘Best web-based Route Planner’***”, says Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director of TomTom. “The Route Planner demonstrates to current and potential users of our navigation products that they can rely on TomTom when it comes to fast and accurate routing”.
In the next few months the Route Planner will become available in even more countries around the globe and more local languages will be added to the current six available. In addition, TomTom is incorporating users’ suggestions and will continue doing so going forward.
