Such a weird thing to get rid of the clock I'm sure they have their reasons but strange to say the least apart from that absolutely fantastic review thanks for your help.

I use the 6250 and have found that I google map a destination first then use the Tom tom for the truck settings and navigation. Looks like the new Tom tom has caught up to google with various routes offered and processing speed.

Hello Mat, Nice video 👍 And just what I was looking for! You got yourself a new subscriber 🙂 In fact, I noticed that on your GO Expert you DO have Live Traffic updates (or better said, you DON'T have the Traffic icon with the X to mark that you don't have the traffic uplink). My question is: how are you getting the Live Traffic updates to work with your GO Expert? A former collegue of mine had this unit months ago, but couldn't get Live Traffic, no matter what he tried. P.S.= If you still wonder, I confirm you that the clock to show the Current Time in the side bar is a feature that's been removed. All TomTom's satnavs based on the "Discover" platform lack this clock. You can still see the Current Time within the menu somewhere *while* you have an active route, but never in the side bar as you drive.

Ah ok. The traffic does seem to still be working, although it does vary with the technology in some countries i believe, eg Belgium

I sent mine back, don’t know if it was faulty or not but it was way too bright, for night driving, even on minimum. Also I couldn’t change the colour of the theme.
@stephenjdaley492 Жыл бұрын
Does this have the live camera updates or is it only by subscription? Asking as I currently own 2x 6250 but one keeps restarting during my driving and I've often missed junctions because of it, hence I bought the second, which as of this afternoon continues to circle in a reboot rotation.

@@suffolkmatireland also be careful with your routes in EU. Not so bad now but still shows some roads which are passable as restricted. PLUS it doesn't store your route and waypoints if you turn it off overnight so in the morning you have to re-input you destination plus any waypoints you had. But "yes" I agree with you, it is faster than the 6250!!!🤣
