It’s a jungle out there – an urban jungle. And if you have to negotiate a vehicle through it you’ll know how tough that can be, especially in an unfamiliar city or town. Take a wrong turn and it could be many miles before you regain your bearings and much wasted time before you reach your destination (don’t mention the wasted fuel). Sat-nav “institution”, TomTom, has launched TomTom Start2, a new entry level unit featuring advanced lane guidance, spoken street names and compatibility with the RDS-TMC traffic information system.
The advanced lane guidance feature helps clarify lane choices in complex junctions, and spoken street names mean you don’t have to take your eyes off the road to understand when and where to turn.
The RDS-TMC Traffic system transmits traffic information to the device, including what’s happened, the area it affects and the estimated delay. Better still, it offers an alternative route to get you moving and arriving on time.
A special feature, TomTom’s innovative IQ Routes, uses real historic car speed measurements from your chosen roads, plus analysis of the time and day of travel to calculate the optimum route and ensure the most accurate arrival time, saving time and fuel, which equals money.
The TomTom Start2 has a 3.5” screen and is small and light enough to be carried in your pocket when not in the car.
