To improve how people find out about traffic issues along their route, designers have developed a
separate section for Traffic News, which gives users the ability to find traffic issues by location as well as
the unique ability to plot issues along their route. Designers have also added a separate section for their
Mileage Calculator tool, which can help people to estimate the cost of the journey.
The route finder service provides maps and driving directions for the UK, Europe and beyond, as well as
giving users or people the opportunity to find hotels nearby. Users can also generate directions that are
fully integrated with customizable real-time traffic updates and the fuel cost calculator using the
advanced options in the main Route Planner section. The functionality provides specific city driving
maps for London and European route directions for longer trips abroad. The RAC is always looking for
new ways to help people plan their journey. Route Planner can optimize your route so you spend less
time driving and more time doing. Provide up to 26 locations and Route Planner will optimize, based on
your preferences, to save you time and gas money. Typical example is TomTom direction planner.
