A good presentation on the TomTom ! Made it all quite clear. I watch the urban legends with interest since I found you all at the beginning of Covid . I stopped driving HGV’s many years ago ( before you were born ! ) but never lost my interest . I think I was born nearly 50 years too early as your blogs are very instructive ; something unheard of back in the mid 70’s . Keep up the good work !!

I purchased a 8275 Pro with lifetime traffic and maps second hand for £200. Brilliant piece of kit. I installed tachometer and a lot of other truck apps I use. It can play movies and has Internet browser so I can google, cut and paste addresses into itself.

Can I just say, thank you for the Go Expert video. I just want to say, charge it up very well at first, at home. Then you will get a good volume, because when the batt is lo then the volume goes down but the sat nav still functions. Also link it to your smart phone by Bluetooth and then just update all the cities but it will do the whole world for you, so give it a lot of time to do this like all evening. After awhile it will flag up another extra update which turns out to be the Caribbean, so unless you are going there you can leave that one out - LOL. It's simple to do all this, and before 24 hrs is up you will be Expert.

@@julianj4026 the 6250 that I currently use, came with lifetime live traffic and speed camera updates, I can also receive calls and texts through it.

Tom Tom is terrible don’t buy that navigation !! I use to love TomTom and it was the best nav for me because of the simplicity and design of menu, but they really gone bad because they don’t have user support and they don’t listen to their customers, they really doesn’t care what you think ! On new models you need to pay for everything, and you need to have speed camera subscription, but that doesn’t matter because for example in Germany is forbbiden by law to use that option so you can’t see where the speeding camera is so you always getting tickets for speeding (for 5km/h over you get around 50-60€ and all over Germany for trucks max speed is 80km/h and nobody is driving 80km/h so you are always getting tickets which is crazy, German laws are crazy, they wanna ripp you and TomTom is letting them do it) so it is useless to have subscription for speed cameras at least for me and now because of that reason and many others i will change my navigation system to Garmin !! And so much more is bad with TomTom i don’t want to get into all of that ! TomTom is really bad and don’t buy it…i would reccomend Garmin it is much much better navigation and more professional…
