I’d heard you get one year speed camera subscription with a new tomtom expert 7, however subscription ran out after one month of use.

Good but sometimes sends you down some narrow roads on quicker routes, might end up in problems stick to the high roads. Some addresses are not on the Sat Nav after the first year you have to pay a subscription fee for speed camera alerts etc. Other than that ver good very bright and big, great piece of kit. Ps nothing in life is perfect.

So I decided to upgrade my TomTom truck 6250 professional sat nav to the new TomTom truck sat nav go expert 7 inch HD screen only to find that the MyDrive app that I use daily in my job, does not work and I have asked 2 other work colleagues who are also using the new TomTom how also tell me it doesn’t work, so if you’re looking for a sat nav that the MyDrive app works on go for the 6250 and not the new one

The large screen makes it so good. It connects to the holder so easy. I picked where i wanted it and stuck it to the windscreen 1st time and it has never fallen off even in this minus 6 degree weather we have.
It connects to my mobile data which gives me live traffic which is really good. I have it set to make a noise when speed cameras and to tell you what the noice is so now it makes a noise and the voice tells you fixed camera ahead or noice and you are in a speed zone which is good, I then look at the Say Nav to find what the speed zone is and next to it, it tells you whatspeed you are going which ie really good.
I set it uo to my height, length and weight of truck and It has never taken me to low briges or over weak bridge. I now have complete trust in it. I set up the post code it lets you check your settings of truck press drive and off it goes
I have total trust in it to get me around the UK. It is maybe a little expensive but worth the money. If you buy on Amazon you can chose to pay it in 3 ammounts

Really good truck sat nav. It is very accurate and easy to use out the box and is handy to updates without using a computer. However the live traffic feature using the app is lacking and says failed to sync when on the road. Apart from this downside it is highly recommended. Would say 4.5/5 stars overall

I bought this as an upgrade from 6250 Go Professional but unfortunately, even if it’s supposed to replace that model, it has a few cons that makes you change your mind.
1. It doesn’t have an internal sim for live traffic like its predecessor, it uses your mobile phone mobile data so you’ll need a permanent hotspot from your phone.
2. Unlike 6250, it doesn’t have a lifetime speed cameras, live traffic and other updates, after your initial subscription expires (1 year I think), you’ll have to pay something like 30/year subscription.
3. With 6250, is very easy if you want to add stops on your route in order to manipulate original routing or to find alternative routes, with this one I didn’t manage to discover how to do it, the actual navigating software it’s not as intuitive like the previous ones.
4. The routing didn’t seemed to be as good as 6250, this one takes weird decisions sometimes. It didn’t bring me on weight/height restrictions, but the choices is taking look poorer than on 6250.

So we are still waiting for a proper replacement for 6250, one to feel like an upgrade, not a downgrade.

Had product for nearly a year now. Only stiched twice so far and had to reverse lorry where it has taken me the wrong way.
Get updates through WiFi but does need to be plugged in to do so.
Recommended the sav nav overall. I’m a Class 1 lorry driver.

After having many many sat navs i was losing hope of ever finding one half descent, so after watching a youtube vid of a trucker who highly recommended this one i thought i would splash out and buy it, we have just come back from a 3 week holiday in France touring in a motorhome, this sat nav even knows the way out of service stations (if you have been to France on the tolls their service roads go on for some distance through woodland and all over an area where there is picnic tables and rest areas etc) I think on the whole trip it forgot to tell me to take a turn – but i am always looking at the screen anyway – its very fast, all my previous garmin models are slow, i get to a junction before sat nav does – not with this one, it has loads of features too, it has auto change over depending on what country your in from mph to kmh and the time too, the only thing i can score this down is that i wish it had a clock on the screen showing the actual time, apart from that its damn awesome !

I bought this TomTom after having Top Garmin sat navs for years and I’ve got to say it’s a far better system for instance the traffic on my garmin was very poor road closed when it was open and traffic when it was clear to the point when I got this tomtom I ignored the traffic and got in to a 20 minute jam it did try and divert me but I was so used to the garmin being wrong I’ve had this Tom Tom now for 3 months and it is like a dream it’s as if they get there traffic data from google maps it’s that good only thing I don’t really like is u can not edit a route as such just add stops and it will go your way the speed of the system is also twice as fast as my garmin but the number one reason I wanted to do this review was for the traffic and road closures is superbly good when connected to my phone WiFi for live updates

Had snooper s8000 before this and one or two other sat navs about the 200 pound mark,this satnav leaves them standing and in my opinion has to be up there with the best!had motorway signs telling me the road ahead is closed but tomtom says its open and so far tomtom has been correct everytime its more reliable and upto date than the actual matrix signs!don’t bother with cheaper satnavs if your thinking about the expert and can afford it then i reccomend it 100%,takes the thinking out of driving and is constantly updating and planning your route.best satnav ever.

I could write a really poor review regarding TomTom not so much the product itself but support once an item is deemed out of warranty.

The Go Expert is a good bit of kit, my only criticism is you need a smartphone to tether too to get live traffic, that’s the thing I’m interested in. This then creates conflict with other Bluetooth devices you may have, hands free earpieces for example. If you need to speak with a person at TomTom forget it. A high end product with low end suppo

I never normally do reviews but feel I need to with this.

After reading some of the 1* reviews on here, I couldn’t help but laugh. You can really tell which drivers rely on this day in day out, as oppose to using it alongside your eyes and abit of common sense.

I’ve been using this daily for the last 4 months as an upgrade from my 6200. The Expert Go isn’t as reliable as the 6200/6250 which considering the price isn’t great. Still I haven’t had many issues, the traffic alert is still the best and most reliable out there. It thinks some routes have restrictions on which they do not and you can’t override them.

As a driving AID this does the job for and as I’ve said before, a satnav gets you to the area and Google maps will get you to the gate 😉

The device is very fast finding the new routes, connects to your Wi-Fi so you’re up to date with the traffic and delays. The speaker is really really loud which is good. 7 inch screen is big enough and looks massive, bigger isn’t necessary. I’ve never had an issue following it as a class 2 driver avoiding lower bridges. In my opinion it is worth it.

Upgraded my truck sat nav.
Similar features and icons.
Clearer screen, more accurate driving position, improved on screen/navigation details.

I’ve used this sat nav for about 2 months before writing this to try and give a fair review. I upgraded from the original tom tom trucker so was interested to see any significant improvements over the the previous model.

The display is more detailed being hd and the touch screen is more responsive with less lag. The best improvement by far though is the processing speed, typing a postcode or manually searching an address is so much quicker and it loads up 3 routes to choose from in seconds. Whilst driving if you want to find alternative routes it takes about 5-10 seconds to load up 3, rather than what felt like minutes on the old model. Live Traffic is accurate but needs connection to your phone via Bluetooth just remember to have your personal hotspot turned on in phone settings otherwise it wont connect.

Id say on average its been about +95% accurate in routing but there is that 5% or less where it can try to have you do strange things like go past a junction to come back on yourself for no apparent reason or thinks a road has a weight restriction when it doesn’t, so don’t rely completely on this device or any sat nav for that matter you should always plan your route and use common sense. Having said that its never took me to a low bridge.

The maps are clear and it zooms in on lane guidance if at times the lane guidance display can stay on too long. A nice feature is it displays weight or height restrictions on the map for roads that are coming up but they are quite small so its difficult to read. For some strange reason its doesn’t display the current time and I know I’ve got the time on the dash and tacho but I always used the sat nav for the time. So tom tom if your reading this make that an option on your next update as there is plenty of room on the route bar when its set on wide.

Do I recommend this sat nav and yes is the answer. I’ve given this 4 stars but it would have been 5 if it wasn’t so expensive. Its not perfect but I doubt any sat nav is but in my experience this is the best sat nav tom tom has released.

UPDATE, I’m not sure what’s happened but since an update there are too many times when this sat nav will route around main A roads to avoid a weight restrictions that are not there. few examples are A127 southed on sea, A168 Thirst , A40 to Whitchurch from M50 . Until these issues are sorted I’m changing to one star.

UPDATE 2- Tom Tom have mostly fixed the issues of weight restrictions with updates that apply to side roads which the sat nav thought were on the main A roads! so I have increased my review to 4 stars

Seems better than the 6250, much faster and lane guidance is good.
