[@julianj4026]

Can you use this with your phone, answe calls and see texts like the older models?

[@okeenkelly5186]

Any discount code for TomTom GO Expert 7" ?

[@bikerpaul1074]

Nope.. go eBay for £350 but better wait till they have sim-cards incorporated so they are less useless

[@bulletrogers]

Thanks Luke. Just what I wanted to hear and appreciate your honesty and all the tech info 👊🏻

[@leemtb]

i have been searching all morning for a proper review so thanks for this! great video.

[@a320nick]

I love the lane guidance!👍

[@K_Ma3iX]

Thanks for the upload Mate. Really appreciate your opinion. We def can see some good changes about the Tomtom Expert.

[@tanksy1958]

Been waiting for this review (commenting before watching) Now after watching, I think I will stay with my 6250 and for simplicity here is why; 1. Yu have to connect your fon to the new Go Expert for traffic updates, the 6250 works on its own. 2. No customisation on new Go Expert but can do that with the 6250 3. After a year you have to pay for those road information signs on the new Go Expert that means you will literally have the lesser Tomtom Go Professional 6200 or 520. 4. Obviously that time ticker they have removed at the bottom is a no no too, just put it back on Tomtom. The only good things with this newer are; 1. They say it’s faster 2. Good detail on directions 3. And those road info signs are the best thing I have been looking for… Dear drivers, just wait for the all in one newer model that has similar and more features than the 6250 else avoid the big screen and speed fantasy over the practical best kit 6250. I love Tomtom navs too and have used them 5 years going trying from the Go Professional 520 to 6200 then ultimately the 6250. Just avoid this one for time being.

[@XFoxMulder]

Thanks for the honest advice. Have you ever used Garmin Dezl lgv700/800 or 1000? How is it compared to TomTom?

[@seifseif7218]

Well said thanks

[@Mircea020]

I own a Tom Tom 6200 Go proffesional. The one to go for. No matter if you're an experienced trucker or you just got into the industry.

[@kluchakiller]

I still have my 5150 truck 8 years old still going strong.

[@mappogy9276]

Me too. Top sat nav. I'm surprised it's lasted so long. At the minute Live traffic is having a technical problem which TomTom are trying to fix their end. 2 months now.

[@gwandao]

Good review, you are right about the 6250, can be sluggish, I like the weight and bridge height symbols on the new version other than that my existing 6250 probably does the job. There will probably be another in 6 months and 6 months after that, bit like mobile phones.

[@IndigoJo]

Are there saveable truck profiles on this new sat-nav? This is something Garmin sat-navs have had for years; you can set multiple profiles with different characteristics such as weight and height etc., to avoid having to enter them all in every time you start a new route. I've tried a couple of TomTom truck sat-navs but this has always been a showstopper for me (quite apart from the sluggish user interface and limited phone interaction, at least compared to Garmin). I drive lots of trucks and it helps to have an artic profile and various others so I only have to set the height, normally, when I get in a new truck.

[@richardfielden5857]

I agree the clock in the bottom right is something i do like. Should be an option to turn on or off.

[@wild_Rider_83]

Great Review, I've literally just purchased this 7" Go Expert model as I've Recently moved into the HGV Industry doing Class 2 multi-drop. This New Tomtom Nav will help me out greatly 👍

[@awoodvine]

After a year of using it, would you still recommend it?

[@lapizbluee]

im after a new sat nav, had the 6250 but seems to have been nicked out my truck. so im debating on this new model. LOVE the review i think you have swayed me to the newer one thanks dude!!!

[@bikerpaul1074]

Buy a second hand 6250 mate until they will get sim card option in this model

[@puremad1]

Hi Luke, Any news on the time display update yet and the auto live traffic? Also have they added the junction numbers to the planned or unplaned routes as that is for me a "must addition" !...

[@alansimpson8735]

Hi Luke a great video about the new TomTom

[@kevinmcchesney2846]

Brilliant review thank you

[@baines80]

Hi Luke, I’ve ordered a Go Expert. Just wondering, where you put vehicle specs in settings, which axle weight is it asking for on an artic? Is it on the unit or the trailer please?

[@grumpygrumpygrump]

Other than the truck features is this the same as the Discover Go? I’m looking for a quality satnav for my discovery4.

[@user-qq7vs5nt1e]

Hi Luke how do you store locations if your on the map screen with no planned route if you stopped somewhere how do you store your current location. Thanks

[@EssexTed]

Thank you. That was helpful 😃

[@paulaustin4883]

Hi Luke, from a hardware perspective this is better than the Go Camper. I don't suppose yo know whether this could also be used for towing a caravan and if so, would there be any disadvantages of using this instead of the Go Camper? Thanks.

[@RoadkillGoat1]

Good review Luke

[@breadturbo]

Just passed my class 2 last week and I am starting Monday eek!, Just invested in one of these and a nice A3 ringbound 2022 AA atlas too , can't beat old fashioned at a pinch!

[@AlanowyShow]

I mean you can I literally have a free app which will smack your atlas all over :p

[@Ben-uy3qe]

Made me lol when the 6250 went flying into the bush 😂😂nice review I have a 500 and it is slowwwww but has been hammered

[@pjfigueiredo1976]

Hi, I just bought one upgraded from 6250, I'm having trouble with my drive and routing, also when routing does appear it doesn't show the next stop eta, always the total journey, is there a way I can change this?

[@michaelrobins420]

Nice 1 luke you just made my mind up

[@DazJeffo]

How as it improved the manual search speeds? I currently have the 'TT 6200' and it's always been quite laggy. Seriously considering upgrading.

[@paulbebb1495]

Hey Luke Just purchased this, as my 6200 crashed when downloading updates unable to load any maps been told its an on going issue for over a year now any idea when or how this will be resolved thanks

[@RT-td1pv]

Do you need a personal hotspot as well as a Bluetooth connection for the traffic? Cheers

[@vaclavvlcek444]

Hi, Based on your review, I ordered tomtom go expert 7. You are the only one on KZbin who has described this navigation well. Thanks for your help.

[@petercapon9878]

Hidden configuration menu via help menu. Go to main menu, help, what's new click right to last page and you'll find some more settings. Six week in and not the easiest sat nav to use, lots of missing post codes, has taken me down a slip road and back up the other side onto the same road more than once and on one occasion in both directions. I struggle to override routes it picks without adding additional waypoints and replanning route, can you help? Overall so far 7 out of 10 one up on my first impression of bloody awkward considered returning it and trying the Garmon 7" truck.

[@rebeccavelarde6422]

Hi took the Expert to France to drive from Calais to Bourges. On the way there it took me on the Peripherique in Paris and on the way back along the Seine. Both ways I wanted to avoid Paris and use A71, A1 and A21 and not the A16. Is there a way to tell it the route?

[@glennsmith6622]

could this be used for towing a caravan too? ie & entering vehicle dimensions etc

[@RC-lo5kg]

Having just purchased the Go Expert, the mount attached with a click, which is fine, but I just cant work out how to remove, any help would be appreciated. P S, cant find info on this in the manual..

[@bartoszklimek8254]

Hi, can you have a tom tom connected to the phone Bluetooth for the traffic and have your phone connected to hands free system at the same time or will it work just for one device? Thank you very much in advance

[@XFoxMulder]

Which one is better, TomTom go expert, or Garmin dezl800 for UK? Did anybody try them both? Really hard to choose…

[@isakbotma2385]

Hi i want to record my trips but dont want to spend too much on a GoPro yet..... what alternative can i use as your audio and video are so clear.... PS love your Vlogs.

[@Jarocaa]

I have a 6250 (Has a lot of bugs on the map but overall good) and I want to switch to the new Expert, but I have heard that a version with built-in sim will be coming soon. Do you know anything about when it will go on sale? In the meantime I'll wait... Greetings from Spain

[@MaTr1cE]

Hi. I am using the 6250 now from 3 years. The most annoying thing is that the TomTom DO NOT SHOW borders and this is ridiculous for a professional truck sat nav ! If I go from UK to Hungary for example it won't show the country's that I am travelling also do not show on the map/notification bar the border when I am entering in a new country...For this new version do you have this option ?

[@Mintghbghlkk]

What about the mounting bracket? Same as before?

[@grahamwhitehead5629]

I am updating to the GO expert because of constant charging problems with the 6250 tomtom not interested, sad battery could not be replaced, so i replaced it, still charging problems, what is the socket now ??mini usb or c

[@shaunedwards3754]

Hi luke do you know when they plan to bring it out with a sim

[@carlkirkham7538]

Yea but u have to have ur fone connected to can u still have ur blue tooth head fones connected to ur fone to with no interference?

[@travellerforever1955]

It is only for trucks or can i use it on my car as well?

[@valdisxd6365]

Hello. Any idea when coming out new Tomtom with sim included. Thanks

[@stuartlomas7870]

Does this have hands free calling being 5ha5 it connects via Bluetooth ; if not is there a Tom Tom out there in the 7” series that’s does

[@davidblack1615]

Like what do u with your old ones I'm a new hgv driver and can't afford to buy a new one atm

[@SonnyLT]

How is signal in central london or around tall buildings?

[@jamiecarr2267]

Q. Has Multi route optimisation been updated to enable open ended routing yet? Or do you still have to designate a finish point/address? I only ask because as I am able to on the Snooper, meaning I can add in extra jobs throughout my week and chain them in automatically at the press of a button, this maximises the amount of drops/pickups for the amount of mileage. Meaning I earn more!! Only downside to the snooper is each route is limited to 16 address, but I get round this by having more than one route of 16 so I just break it down into regions and label the routes accordingly. Had a Go Professional not so long back for all of a week only to get my money back due to this not being an option. On paper it can have a programable route of a massive 256 different addresses, which to me being an owner/driver planning my week ahead in one go and on the fly sounded perfect. But frustratingly, you have to designate an end point. I want to shove a maximum of 256 different addresses in it and ask it to optimise the whole lot into the shortest possible distance from a chosen start point or from my current position at the press of a button. If snooper can do it for 16 on a 15yr old S7000 then surely TomTom Expert can do it without needing a computer and separate software?! If it now does, I’ll take another plunge for whatever the cost is tomorrow! What say you Reviewer/TomTom?

[@nxesr]

I've used sat navs in late 2000 car only and I'm out of date. I'm a coach driver will this sat nav work for me?? I'm currently driving a 23 plate Neoplan Tourliner Tri Axle. Can I customise this sat nav to work for me is it worth it??

[@gregoryrivera9529]

Do they have it for truck drivers in the USA?

[@billyd9205]

Hi Luke I have just purchased the TomTom expert7 .. for some unknown reason it's not willing to connect to Bluetooth..you don't have any advice to help me

[@nickcouchman777]

Mate, I'm having proper trouble setting this up, and if I'm doing it right and lane assistance and having my calls come through nothing :( please help mate

[@arturwysocki05]

I have go 6250 but for me the small symbols and the RAM are the main reason to buy this navigation, but why we can’t update new software to go 6250 with the small symbols, I don’t understand. Very good review thank you.

[@ml5225]

Hi Luke as u now have the new expert r u thinking of selling the 6250 ??

[@lordwarke1106]

Which is better tomotm expert 7 or garmin lgv 800?

[@williamfence566]

Got the 6250 and it is ok but slow to react. Would get the expert but will wait until it's not £400. 6250 also re routes away from a 7.5T with access to try and take you down a farm track ( staveley in North Yorks for e.g ) . Even if you agree that the route doesn't comply with your restrictions and accept it .

[@martinhill2109]

my Tomtom go professional 620 the traffic update is useless connection is off more than it is on so hoping the tethering is better on this model

[@adamprowse3272]

Nice one Luke, great video. I’m the same as you, man. I use the 6250 and like having the current time at the bottom corner. Also I have mine in bright green with a sexy Irish lady as the voice. :p Are you gonna be at truckfest at all this year bud?

[@alexpritchard7566]

I've always wanted to move to Tom tom but my Snooper has never done me wrong.

Hello. I'm née driver I need buy first GPS please help. Which will be best for me?

[@Mrandypoland]

The volume doesn't seem as loud as the 6250 I have just gotten the new tomtom expert and have the volume up full and struggle to hear it over the road noise and radio, where as on the 6250 I had no problems, anyone having the same problem?

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

Hi Luke, my very old Tom tom satnav does a quick double beep if any of the fixed speed cameras are loaded and active, does the new do the same? I have seen Scott's review and he didn't mention it either but wondering if you have noticed anything on this new one.

[@lukecinahgv]

I can confirm that it will do a triple ding ding ding when it approaches a fix speed camera location or a user reported speed camera location

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

@@lukecinahgv glad to hear that feature hasn't been dropped 😊 I will have to see if mine can be updated, maybe hgv restriction options can be added, it has tried to take me the wrong way up a one way street, though thankfully in a van not anything bigger😳 I just tell it off and make it recalculate 😂

[@chrishood2965]

Can you get live updates without an Internet connection?

[@wizkid01]

If you drive a lot in central London I would avoid Tomtom as their map is full of errors. This is mainly with weight restrictions. Their aftersales service is poor too. If you try to report a map error you are directed to a help desk in India who don't have a clue what you are on about, hence the map error remains unresolved. Have at least a dozen known map errors in central London, yet Tomtom can't even resolve one. Plus - they have no listed uk head office, so if you are like me who is trying to get your money back - you are stuck basically because you have nobody to take your device to.

[@TheBockoboda]

No sim, no shopping. No clock like old one, no shopping. My company didn’t buy them, losing the signal in the tunnel, so we don’t know where to go if there is an exit in the tunnel. Lots of mistakes, I try to report last 4 years, more than 500 errors, but without success. I don't think it's worth buying. Still, I report road closure in Milano, and google maps accept same day, tomtom - never.

[@leighdanny1325]

I do night driving dose it tell u if there is a road closures

[@fatbloke2285]

Do you get free lifetime updates with that one like you do with the 6250?

[@RT-td1pv]

Do you have any issues on the M25 S after Clacket Lane services it up pops up with a 7.5t weight limit on the motorway?

[@MrFlash4203]

Only at dartford tunnels

[@andrewfrost8422]

Good review, I think it’s a good honest review. I also don’t like the default lane colour (blue) AND the vehicle direction symbol also in blue, it blends into the lane colour. So when it’s made better and improved, I’ll probably buy. Shame they made a product half heartedly.

[@peymanesfandiari451]

Recently buy one of them but unfortunately doesn't show lane guidance on the roundabouts

[@user-og3cz1rg9v]

I always feel that when 1 HGV Vlogger does a video about a certain thing, they all have to do a video about the same thing. I like this though good review. Can understand it better than Scott's welsh twang haha.

They all get contacted at the same time. Tom-tom approached these guys, not the other way around.

[@bikerpaul1074]

Thanks for your honest review, these sell on eBay for £350 now I have the previous version 6250 but has sim-card included as I do not trust my phone connection and as a trucker I have to go to all kind of places where my phone provider let me down several times but 6250 sim-card did not so I WILL NOT BUY this one over 6250 unless they will ad the sim-card incorporated and when they will do this... trust me, prices will be from £450 onwards.. which are ridiculous unfortunately like always been. Just like you I would like to see the clock on bottom right corner as the top was set by me to flash between arrival time and estimated arrival so for now I would love and cherish my 6250 which is fast enough and never had a problem with calculating routs to slow and believe me I do over 400 miles every night in the truck. Go abroad using your phone now after Brexit to help you with your directions and you will have a nice phone bill when you get home. NO SIMCARD INCLUDED... USELESS!
