TomTom has introduced an online routing service with their IQ Technology. The routing service is currently in beta and an only accessed after registration. They use the latest version of Teleatlas Street data, which is a fully-owned subsidiary of TomTom.
TomTom IQs Routes Technology™ puts the driving information and data of millions of TomTom users into their algorithms to calculate the best route based on actual speeds driven on the roads by the users compared to speed restrictions.
IQ Routes™ technology is available for roads in the following countries:
- Western Europe:
- Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, United Kingdom
- North America:
- United States, Canada
The routing service include also a Locator Feature, where you can find Cities, Addresses and Point of Interests (POIs) on the map. For the input alternative names in different languages can be used.
Unfortunately I have no detailed information about the used hardware and software running behind this system. The front-end is designed with Flash technology.
