IQ Routes - What's your opinion?

Hi there,
Can anyone in a busy city tell me if this function is as good as the spin? Particularly anyone in Sydney Australia. How accurate is it in comparison to other brands normal travel time approximations? Any info would be great.
Cheers

IQ routing takes into consideration historical data of 'real world' driving experiences and routes based upon the time of day and day of the week. Instead of calculating routes based upon posted speed limits, it uses the real world driving data.

The result is better routing and much more realistic ETA's.

So far, TomTom is the only company with that functionality though it is rerported that other brands are working to implement this feature as well.
