TomTom GO 730

Not only are we getting new hardware, but there will be updated software to support it. The new software incorporates new junction graphics such as "Lane Separation" and "Complex Junction Details" similar to the Navigon Lane Assist launched a year ago, it also incorporates enhanced Voice Address Input, and possibly more important it now incorporates a new feature known as IQ routing. IQ routing allows a route to be calculated based on recorded average speed information. This means that if a road is marked at 70MPH but the average speed on the road is actually 10MPH then the 10MPH figure will be used for routing calculations and the generated route may be a lot longer, but should be faster. This will no doubt be a much discussed feature in the forums as indeed the difference in route calculations always has been. The main new features of the (presumably V8) software are: ? Voice Address Input ? Tell the GO where to go ? TomTom IQ Routes ? Intelligent routing based on real-world, historical average speeds ? Provides intelligent routing based on weekday and weekend averages ? Lane Separation ? Displays where to drive at complex multi lane junctions ? Enhances safety by avoiding last moment lane changes ? Complex Junction Details ? Complementing Lane Separation ? Displays detailed 3D image of complex junctions ? Maintains full visibility on the other essential details
