TomTom GO 950 LIVE on Active Dock The TomTom ONE IQ Routes boasts leading technology available before only on the top end models. It allows you to take the routes the locals use and removes the uncertainty of not knowing where you're going or when you'll arrive. It knows that the fastest route on a Sunday afternoon may be very different on a Monday morning. Advanced Lane Guidance gives you more confidence when dealing with complex junctions and there are also safety camera alerts and local fuel prices.

The TomTom ONE IQ Routes Europe is priced £169.99 (SRP) or £149.99 for UK/Republic of Ireland maps.

The TomTom XL LIVE features not only the intelligent IQ Routes system, which is based on average road speeds for any journey, but also HD Traffic - which gives you 'real-time' congestion data. So you're always on the fastest route, whatever the road conditions! There's Advanced Lane Guidance for navigating complex junctions, as well as safety camera alerts and directions to the cheapest local fuel. Tap into local Google listings and drive to the nearest Indian restaurant or flower shop, wherever you are.

You get all the information you need about the journey before you set off, at a glance. Once on the road, this advanced sat nav constantly checks if there is a faster route, taking changing road conditions into account via a combination of IQ Routes technology and real-time HD Traffic information. There's also an Eco Routes option, so you can select the most fuel-efficient trip to help reduce the environmental impact.
