IQ routes on the Go720

 

I just got the latest Maps (830.2284) and Firmware (8.351) loaded onto my GO720 and I see that I now have IQ routes. This is why I like the Tom Tom over the Garmin, you get new features without fleecing your bank account.

I have not tried to used it yet but I'm wondering if anyone else has, and how they've found it. Since theres no documentation in the 720 manual for this, can someone tell me if I have to have my cell phone "data connected" to get IQ routes to work properly?

IQ Routing

If you have IQ routing available, here is how you activate it:

Change preferences/Planning preferences/ you should see an "IQ Routes" button in the lower left corner, select that, then select "Enable". Keep pressing "Done and make whatever other choices you want until you are back to the main screen.

And to see it working, prepare a route and then see the difference IQ routing made on the route details page.
