It means that if TomTom will detect any traffic it will re-route you automaticly to avoid traffic and get you more or less on time. Hope it helps

It selects your route based upon how busy roads are, not just the length of the journey and max speed.

Works too!

As far as I can work out, the more you use the SatNav, it builds up a "memory" of the times of days and routes that are heavily congested with traffic, and will send you an alternative route if it beleives there will be less traffic at that time.

It factors in the time of day you are travelling at to calculate the route so as to avoid bottlenecks which could slow you down

IQ routes basically means the sat nav plans your route using historical traffic flows to chose the least congested route

They reckon that IQ picks an intelligent route based on the time of day and the day of week. If you are driving in rush hour, it takes into account likely traffic levels on your route and might choose an alternative it thinks could be quicker. In my experience though, it just seems to pick the most obvious route each time.

The Halfords website includes a description of the tomtom xxl satnav. This explains what IQ routes means. Failing that you can visit the tomtom website for an explanation.

advance route selection during busy times which can speed up your journey through or around known traffic blackspots

it means that tomtom have collected information about how long journeys take in real time conditions and plot the quickest route available taking into account traffic blackspots, childrens run, rush hour

As I understand it, the route selected can change depending on the time of day and day of the week. It knows if a particular road is congested at certain times, and offers an alternative.

i think iq routes refers to giving you options like fastest shortest, or just avoiding a traffic jam you have encountered. you can readjust the route to get around your obstacle such as a jam.

NO, you must preorder on internet to get cheaper price.

no cheaper to buy or reserve online.

no it is cheeper online with halfords

The rule is you order on-line and collect in store. Otherwise you'll pay the "store" price. I researched makes and models on line for the facilities I wanted; found Halfords had a ver keen price and went (early in the morning) and asked to see the unit. Quality OK , screen bright and clear, wanted to purchase it. When Halfords mentioned the price I quoted the internet price from the evening before... delightful staff went off and ordere it on line for me and let me have it there and then. Good service made me VERY happy... I've spent too much of my life being constrained by "rules". The staff were VERY Helpful and kind.

No but if you order on line and collect you get half price accessories

No, this is a bit odd, it was £16 more in store, so I went home, ordered on-line, then went straight back to the store to collect, saving myself £16.00

NO IT WAS ABOUT £12.00 DEARER IN STORE, BUT YOU COULD RESERVE ONLINE AND PICK UP AND PAY IN STORE FOR ONLINE PRICE

no online reservation is much cheaper
i saved over £30 online.

No, You are best to order on website and collect in store

No the offers on the Internet are special. I have just bought the XL (IQ Routes) and reserved it online at the offer price. I took the coupon that you get when you reserve it online and when I went to collect it I found that it was £40 more in-store. However, they took the coupon and I payed the lower price with no questions asked.

Yes, go for the XXL!!

YES

yes, it comes with two small books one being a users guide containing basic operations and how to get started.

The only instructions are to attach to the screen , the rest is so simple to use by just touching the screen and if i can do it then anyone can , its true .

There are written instructions but they are rather thin. Most of the menu system is reasonably easy to follow but you need to think. I have managed without going to their website. I think you need to be comfortable with technology products to manage with what is in the box.

Yes.

locked for Europe
