But in all honesty would you say its better than the 6250, which gives traffic and speed camera for life via a built in sim, it seems like this one has taken a step back by needing to be tethered to a smartphone.
Been waiting for an updated version got the 6200 at the moment but £400 and u don't get lifetime cameras and traffic bit of a rip off and ya still got to connect phone
I'm 100% with you on the numbers. It's so annoying. 7inch display and still have to mess around to type the postcode. My first 4inch Tomtom had it all on one page. It makes so much more sense
Scott, you mentioned looking at signs to double check, if signs on your routes are anything like where I am they have disapared into the hedges and undergrowth, I feel sorry for strangers who do not know the area as they have not a chance of fining places unless they do have a satnav, even then it sends them the wrong way. stay safe.🌈
Ye my old version does the same going through llanwrtyd. When I'm heading south from Newtown I don't turn it on till I'm heading down the sugerloaf. Sends you miles out. I think someone must have twatted the guttering on one of them houses. The lights are down now so time they moved that hight restriction. Gotta say I love the Tom Tom. So much better than the Garmin for zooming in on the route that it has chosen. I've got 200% confidence in it.
Iv just bought the go professional 6250 3 days later this come out and at first I was peeeeeevvvd off but I will get free updates on the pro so its fine.
Garmin's lane assist is a good feature TomTom needs. As a 'for instance' today I had to get off at the M25 junc 21A, which for some reason I have problems with both sides of the M25 with this junction, because the sign on the motorway shows the turn off as being further down from Junc 21, or I think it is. But it's not, M25 21A shares the same exit as 21. Annoying junctions like this would be made each easier if TomTom had a similar lane guidance like Garmin's does. The same junction with Garmin I have no problems. I also find Garmin's lane assistance helps me in London, and mostly big cities where I am freaking out trying to see the correct lane I need to be in to approach my next turn.
@@GaZz90 At work we have Garmin in the vans, I think it's a Dezl 780, but they also do a cheaper (£245) Dezl 580 and you tether it to your phone for live traffic and weather updates, my truck has a TomTom 6250. I've used both and the lane assist with Garmin definitely an advantage over TomTom.
This is a really great and banging Go Expert. By Tom Tom, it is the business!! Buy it from Halfords, if it is your first Tom Tom you will be amazed, it updates every map going. It's easy to use just insert all your trucks dimensions, L/H/W/axle Weight. All your bridges and London zones are sorted and well...., all that the man is saying. Great screen 7 inches is ample. Tip: Work on the volume to get it highest, by charging at home first, give it a good initial charge and that will bring your volume up for directions from the voice. Also - you can give it your voice commands so as you don't need to distract from driving. A very handy tool. I strongly recommend it!!
Hi Scot. Great review. Any chance you could review the Garmin Dezl 710 or 810 or 1010 please, or compare the TomTom to the Garmin side by side please... Cheers
Is that the 6250 that tomtom wanted the road legends to FLOG before this new version release!!! That feature is not dance and sang more is because RoadLords has it already and it is a free truck sat nav app
go 6250 professional also shown you the mobile speed cameras, and asked you if they are still there. And also shown the usual places where police like to camp down and measure speed to fine you. But I assume in england its kinda rare, I mean I never really saw that, but in Germany, Austria or Netherlands its pretty common
Good piece of kit , didn’t want me to go sheerness, I knew the place, but right up to the outskirts of sheerness it tried to turn me round, but a timely reminder it’s an aid and notthe gospel according to Tom Tom
Sat navs are so behind with tech. When I'm looking for a company to deliver to, I Google it, it shows gates, entrances, if tomtom or garmin got in with Google and merged that search feature into their nav's that would be great. Imap's is brilliant for car nav, put number 2 Bert Road for instance, it will take you outside of No 2!!! Also leaving a motorway junction, why can they tell you to be in the right lane as you approach the roundabout, so your prepaid? Not finding out to late and having to haul 60 foot of truck across lanea! And, there's more! Why can't the thing tell a joke, weather, news, as your driving down 46 miles of boring motorway! Something to pass the time away! I just think these sat navs are pretty basic, and could be so much better. Its a the main tool every driver needs. 26 years ago, I used a street atlas to deliver in Central London with an artic!! Imagine that now!!!!😱
Totally agree.For the money these devices cost they should do a lot more than they do.Your example of lanes when exiting the motorway and turning onto a roundabout is spot on.They should guide you the whole way to your exit.Also and this is my main problem with them, is truck pois are horrific.You cant search for motorway services when looking for closest overnight parking!! One of the main things you need it for when your stuck!
Great in most of the country but when I cross the m25 into hell I switch to co-pilot phone app as for some wierd reason the Tom Tom tends to send you on a wild goose chase a lot of the time adding 45mins to an hour to journeys back up to Manchester. Always wants to use the M1 aswell when the m40 is dead
6520 is almost 4 years old maybe at least. So its about time to release something new and better. Later this year will be another Go Expert 7 inch with build in sim, same as 6250. So worth to wait this one. It might will be more than £400.
Hi Scott, thanks for the TomTom review, can you tell me if it has a ‘true north’ setting (i like the map the right way up) i use this setting on my old garmin. And .. does this Tom Tom show the low bridges, as you approach them or does it just want to divert you around them, without actually depicting them on the map? I’m on 16’ deckers this xmas and i fancy a proper sat nav rather than using my bridge map which is a bit old and tatty now lol. Cheers man. Regards Richard
should definately have gone with the USB-C Option - the Micro USB gets bent far too easily (even when you are super careful). I am now on my 3rd windscreen mount for this GPS as it doesn't seem to matter how careful you are unplugging/plugging it in it still gets bent and eventually wont charge. Maybe fine for those who get your own truck and can leave the sat nav in your cab all the time, and not unplug it - but for those of us who are not in that group, installing then removing the cable at the start/end of every shift soon takes its toll on the Micro USB connector.
like your idea about the postcodes and layers...but great news about the speed increase ..also think they could do something with the power cord my 6250 always having trouble with it
Scott, is TomTom on Android (from Google Play) basically the same as their standalone device Go Expert? It has truck subscription and it costs 100€ a year, or I believe it's 50€ for first year after the week of testing. It seems being same (which is not surprising), and in some ways even better, one can use Map2Geo for example, tablet is usually faster than the standalone device, I'm assuming the app gets improvements too, etc. Plus it seems to cost even less (like if we consider say 50€ for first year, say 100€ for next, etc, in 2-3 years the standalone device will probably get updated anyway). Also I believe, although I'm didn't verify, speedcam and traffic - with the standalone device you need to pay 30€ a year after first year, but in the Android app I believe it's included in the price. So there is that too.
My beloved Tom Tom take me in to London I didn’t pay attention and now I have to pay 250 .anyway for the 6250 professional do you know how to set it to avoid certain routes.thank you
I have a Tom Tom Pro 620 and like yourself im a driver cant really fault the nav i have a few little niggles with it for example you should be able to click on where temporary speed cameras where/are during roadworks to say that they are no longer in use or there, Same as you should be able to add where new services are built.
im about to take the plunge on one of these but 1 thing putting me off...... for the traffic you have to connect the tomtom to your phone?? or is there a sim in it? thanks
thanks for the review, would you recommend this new Go expert over the 6250 pro now you have used it for a few months. does it have issues with traffic updates since they come from phone when connected Go Expert Vs 6250 that has the sim card? thanks in advance
Someone please reply I use the tomtom Go pro 520, i connect to traffic using hotspot tether on my phone. Is this function just the same as using the sim for traffic updates? ( may sound like a dumb question). But the reason i asked is because the hotspot tether option i use is lifetime free instead of needing a subscription after a year. Also, ive tried to find this go expert in shop with built in sim amd some shops say it has sim amd some say it doesnt. Last question... if its only a year service with the sim, do you have to update the sim or just purchase new yearly subscription? Sorry for the long message, im a class 1 driver and even though i connect to live traffic my nav sometimes doest pick up a live road closure, is this normal sometimes? Thank you for taking the time to read this
Any chance you could do like a wage video? I'll be getting into the hgv industry in the coming weeks and I'm from maesteg so not to far from you I'm guessing so yea would be appreciated to have a guide on wages around my local. Many thanks bud also keep up the vids enjoying them mate
Can you do updates without a computer. it would be nice if you could get your updates via your phone, or with the next version with your own sim. especially if you are an international driver and you forgot to update your TomTom at home.
It only knows about mobile cameras if tomtom users passing by before you reported it. That’s why it asks you if it’s still there, if not you click no and then it doesn’t report it to anyone following you.
I see your Expert has truck dimensions in feet and inches...My new Expert only seems to display in Metres ?....I understand 14 feet but struggle with 4.26 metres...Is there any way of changing this because I cant see a way....
Scott was you on the M18 passing Doncaster with three tractors with yellow wheels on the flatbed on Monday afternoon? I was coming down the slip road as you passed, I couldn't catch you up as I was in a DAF 😉
I would like to see speed cameras updates for life one year soon goes by and then you have to pay unlike the 6250 just do the update no need for phone tether I guess this saves money on an internal sim a step backwards perhaps but that’s not a criticism Tomtom are great sat navs
why arn't Tom Tom, getting you onboard when they plan the updates, so they get a first class drivers input and thereby get the updates most drivers will want - also why are they putting vehicle weights in lbs and not metric measures like most now are referred to???...
Its a setting you can change, Scott obviously has it set to imperial, although I do wish there was more flexibility in these settings. I would like the option to have weights in metric, and dimensions in imperial, as that is how most trucks still display them, but unfortunatly its either or, which means most of the time you have to convert the vehicle height into meters.
Seems to be a pointless update. I still use my go professional 6200. Yes it can be funny sometimes with roads and restrictions but only a complete idiot follows exactly what the sat-nav says. Completely agree with Scott , changing vehicle dimensions all the time is a pain. I also wish they would allow us to add custom POI logos to make it easier to spot them on the map.
Hi Scott I’ve just bought one of these in the hope they were better, I really like the bigger screen, clearer screen and speed of the processes. However it won’t connect to Tom Tom MyDrive app for hands free calls. It will connect for routes but not for calls, did you or anyone else have this problem? Thanks
I'm stuck with this one. Does the job navigation wise but have to use separate handsfree but the handsfree I got isn't loud enough. Some Lorries have hands free but sometimes won't pair with my phone. HHas to be complicated
Sounds like a good piece of kit, improvement on mine that tried to send me the wrong way up a one way street in the dark🙄😳 I told it off as you do when faced with a no entry sign😂😂😂 stay safe and have a good week😊
Hi Scott. 10 inch screen would be better Why only increase its size by 1 inch. Good vlogg very interesting Thank you Trucker Phil Hughes Oswestry Shropshire
I told TomTom when I sent my last truck nav back that I couldn't live without multiple vehicle profiles because I change trucks all the time. And yes, as class 1 drivers we change trailers and they have different heights. Can't believe they didn't put that in. You just saved me £350.
you know that before every route plan tomtom asks the details about your truck? How hard is it to just click 2 times and set the height from 4 meters to like 5 or whatever the differences? :D Such a luxury problem... bigger problem is that tomtom re-route itself the way he wants without letting you know ...
@@johnnyhun1 I pay money for these things and I expect them to do what I want otherwise I send them back. It's often more than two clicks, and they would be unnecessary if TomTom let me save profiles.
@@IndigoJo well driving trucks isnt the same thing? Every brand has great things that others dont, and every brand has bad things that others dont. Daf has a pretty cool slide table in front, but also the steering wheel cant be raised high enough, while for ex in volvo you can raise pretty well the steering wheel but it doesnt have any normal place to cook or eat, etc etc etc.... you just have to live with the problems and enjoy the good stuff :D and owners pay for these hella lot more money than what you pay for a tomtom :D
You got it boy trust this old woman here .32 years driving big ,bigger,biggest .First your humour ,if you not got one don't do job .Piss take is standard 😂😂 and boy (not being bighead ) but I am !! Never driven anything but best .Not scania or Volvo at a push shove it .YOUR GOOD 😍😍😍😋😋😋😋
i got the 6200 at the minute 2 days ago i was out in an 18t rigid the fucking thing lead me down the narrowest road ever only to end up having to reverse half a mile back up the road as it was impossible to carry on, i was shitting myself haha needless to say all the cars behind me weren't impressed, one oldish woman even called me a useless prick which i found quite funny 🤣✌
I had the same problem... didn't rate the past 2 tom tom units. Didn't renew traffic or cameras... rip off. Changed over to garmin... see how it goes 👍
Tomtom want as much cash of you as they can speed cameras traffic all sat navs should have sim built in and change from miles to metric km kg Also its 2021 get rid off micro USB
I would say the same. A Garmin dezl 700 is a better satnav and it does have LIFETIME speed cameras. I don't get it how for 400£ you only get one year...
useful I guess but for £400 I would just rather struggle . Will just use google maps and if I come across bridges or restrictions I will plan round it , easy 😊 .

Thanks buddy,

have you noticed that sometimes you get European road numbers like M62 you also get E20 or similar?
Yes. It's rather annoying
does this sat nav avoid London Lorry Control Scheme roads?
I have a tom Tom and sometimes it show roadworks that are not been at the area. But I do agree on the keyboard
12 volt only or can you plug it into 24v socket. I would think a truck nav should be 12/24volt standard. Any discount codes for this one Scott.

hi Scott is the TomTom GO expert still the latest version what TomTom do
I m lookin at the new garmin, has a built in dashcam.

Liking the new Tom Tom expert bigger screen and better features.
Nice video, is this unit suitable for bus/coach drivers aswell?
Yes buddy, option on their for cars bikes trucks and coaches
should definately have gone with the USB-C Option - the Micro USB gets bent far too easily (even when you are super careful). I am now on my 3rd windscreen mount for this GPS as it doesn't seem to matter how careful you are unplugging/plugging it in it still gets bent and eventually wont charge. Maybe fine for those who get your own truck and can leave the sat nav in your cab all the time, and not unplug it - but for those of us who are not in that group, installing then removing the cable at the start/end of every shift soon takes its toll on the Micro USB connector.
I've got Tom Tom 5200 and mobile cameras are here as well
Very informative video just bought one after watching this thank you for your time and effort 👍👍
Tomtom will release SIM version in Autumn... will work same as a 6250 with all traffic, cameras etc lifetime
Great in depth of the sat nav . Thanks
Great review. Super thanks. Have some discount code? Your code for Go Professional 6250 didn't work anymore. Do You have new one?
like your idea about the postcodes and layers...but great news about the speed increase ..also think they could do something with the power cord my 6250 always having trouble with it
Thanks mate, was in the market for one so this has been helpful.
Recently bought one of them but does someone know why it doesn't show lane guidance on the roundabouts.
Can you change the height from metres to ft & inches ?
I was thinking that too
Scott, is TomTom on Android (from Google Play) basically the same as their standalone device Go Expert?
It has truck subscription and it costs 100€ a year, or I believe it's 50€ for first year after the week of testing.

Does this model come with the hands free calling ???
I would keep the screen protector on 😎
does snap parking come up on the POI ?????
But does it route drivers through the Dartford Tunnel as the last map update 🤬 that up
If it hasnt already got it I would like to see London LLC routes added
Are there any models of this what will have a life time of traffic and speed camera updates?

Hi. thanks for the video, perfect! They like to get advice. should i buy this gps or wait for the sim version? How much data do you use from mobilnet?
Good question, that’s what I’m interested in to. I’ve got unlimited data so don’t think it would be a problem? Any ideas Scott?
Not sure how much data you'd use over the week exactly as I'm also on Unlimited data
Little data is used, but I always experience connection issues with my iPhone. Shame TomTom are not now releasing the sim version!

I would like the option to have weights in metric, and dimensions in imperial, as that is how most trucks still display them, but unfortunatly its either or, which means most of the time you have to convert the vehicle height into meters.
So it's the same as amigo on the p40 Pro then only different is is 400 quid compared to free
Well amigo u can't enter size of truck but all other stuff is same
Seems to be a pointless update. I still use my go professional 6200. Yes it can be funny sometimes with roads and restrictions but only a complete idiot follows exactly what the sat-nav says. Completely agree with Scott , changing vehicle dimensions all the time is a pain. I also wish they would allow us to add custom POI logos to make it easier to spot them on the map.
Hi Scott I’ve just bought one of these in the hope they were better, I really like the bigger screen, clearer screen and speed of the processes. However it won’t connect to Tom Tom MyDrive app for hands free calls. It will connect for routes but not for calls, did you or anyone else have this problem? Thanks
Tomtom say it doesn't do hands free calling..
@@donnagrimshaw3512 I took it back and got the garmin lgc 700, much better sat nav
I'm stuck with this one. Does the job navigation wise but have to use separate handsfree but the handsfree I got isn't loud enough. Some Lorries have hands free but sometimes won't pair with my phone. HHas to be complicated
@@donnagrimshaw3512 I bought some Bluetooth earplugs from Amazon that I use if I’m making calls. Stops me shouting so much.
The video that cost me £400 lol. Thanks Scott. Excited for this toy to arrive hopefully Wednesday. Great review
How was your experience so far?
Sounds like a good piece of kit, improvement on mine that tried to send me the wrong way up a one way street in the dark🙄😳 I told it off as you do when faced with a no entry sign😂😂😂 stay safe and have a good week😊
Hi Scott.
10 inch screen would be better
Why only increase its size by 1 inch. Good vlogg very interesting
Thank you

Not sure If I'd want a 10inch one. Perhaps too big then?
I told TomTom when I sent my last truck nav back that I couldn't live without multiple vehicle profiles because I change trucks all the time. And yes, as class 1 drivers we change trailers and they have different heights. Can't believe they didn't put that in. You just saved me £350.
you know that before every route plan tomtom asks the details about your truck? How hard is it to just click 2 times and set the height from 4 meters to like 5 or whatever the differences? :D Such a luxury problem... bigger problem is that tomtom re-route itself the way he wants without letting you know ...
@@johnnyhun1 I pay money for these things and I expect them to do what I want otherwise I send them back. It's often more than two clicks, and they would be unnecessary if TomTom let me save profiles.
@@IndigoJo well driving trucks isnt the same thing? Every brand has great things that others dont, and every brand has bad things that others dont. Daf has a pretty cool slide table in front, but also the steering wheel cant be raised high enough, while for ex in volvo you can raise pretty well the steering wheel but it doesnt have any normal place to cook or eat, etc etc etc.... you just have to live with the problems and enjoy the good stuff :D and owners pay for these hella lot more money than what you pay for a tomtom :D
si poner eso es un momento... Solo por eso devolver el producto me parece algo estúpido
@@johnnyhun1for the price they charge it should make the coffee and do my boots up.
Absolute rip off
You got it boy trust this old woman here .32 years driving big ,bigger,biggest .First your humour ,if you not got one don't do job .Piss take is standard 😂😂 and boy (not being bighead ) but I am !! Never driven anything but best .Not scania or Volvo at a push shove it .YOUR GOOD 😍😍😍😋😋😋😋
i got the 6200 at the minute 2 days ago i was out in an 18t rigid the fucking thing lead me down the narrowest road ever only to end up having to reverse half a mile back up the road as it was impossible to carry on, i was shitting myself haha needless to say all the cars behind me weren't impressed, one oldish woman even called me a useless prick which i found quite funny 🤣✌
I had the same problem... didn't rate the past 2 tom tom units. Didn't renew traffic or cameras... rip off. Changed over to garmin... see how it goes 👍
Tomtom want as much cash of you as they can speed cameras traffic all sat navs should have sim built in and change from miles to metric km kg
Also its 2021 get rid off micro USB
Get Garmin allows you to loads of profiles in just have to pick the one you want simples.
Far better satnav in my opinion 👍👍👍
I have had a Garmin and Tom Tom running at the same time a few times. Garmin was always more reliable by far.
I would say the same. A Garmin dezl 700 is a better satnav and it does have LIFETIME speed cameras. I don't get it how for 400£ you only get one year...
Great video
What a salesman,can I have it!! My Scania ones good but it doesn't update! Stay safe bud.
I’ll stick with my 6250 now that TomTom are not now releasing this one with the built in sim.
useful I guess but for £400 I would just rather struggle . Will just use google maps and if I come across bridges or restrictions I will plan round it , easy 😊 .
gutted, thought you were posting a video, not an advert :(
Hi ,if i earn 1000 per week,i buy one !
Thanks.
