The shittiest tomtom truck navi ever. It directs you in restricted zones,and avoid drivable zones. The 6250 was 4x slower, but 4x better. I am using it in Europe

[@lukecinahgv]

As a brand ambassador for tom-tom in the UK, I can only talk about my experiences from the UK. I find it mostly takes you down the correct roads. Never has it taken me through a restricted zone. It has on occasion tried to take me down a road which is simply too narrow that he doesn’t know that. Obviously you’ve got to use a bit of wit and common sense alongside it

How do I hide the vehicle info screen ? Before I click drive it shows all the Information about my truck but I already set all this and I'm driving same truck every day

Well I just got one. And it’s great except one thing so far and that’s the dartford tunnel. If I have my gross weight set over 7.5t it will say I am to heavy for it and will try and reroute me though London, clockwise round. Anywhere except the tunnel. Ideally I don’t want to set my axel as 7.5t as might screw me over elsewhere. :/ for £359 it’s abit poor on their part I have emailed them but I am sure others have also. So god knows. Why In the video he says it’s fine. Unless it’s something that’s happened since.

[@lukecinahgv]

I will be honest you’re not the first person to say that, but I’ve also got it and my gross weight is 44 tonne and it sends me through absolutely fine 🤷 strange. I don’t want to sound like I’m taking the Mick, but are you sure toll roads are turned on?

Absolute rubbish. Wasted hundreds of pounds on something that adds 40 mins to 1 hour onto Manchester-London journeys by routing all round the houses without good reason. I now use Google nav while on the motorway and have co-pilot truck nav app running in tandem and switch to co-pilot when off the motorway. They really need a few local driver moderators to submit unsuitable roads to avoid unless the address is located on that road

[@Swifty800]

Doesn't it try and take you the wrong route on a lot of occasions?. I've seen you over rule it quite alot..

[@lukecinahgv]

It calculates the fastest route normally. I sometimes override it and take the more direct route (I don’t have to stick to motorways for example, I’ll cut across an “A” road)

[@detset406]

I dont like that you have to use your phone data to have Traffic live on the Satnav, very bad design from TomTom.

[@hollowaysteve]

Is there an alternative that ‘doesn’t’ have to pair with a phone? I thought they all had to have internet access to get ‘live’ traffic updates. Perhaps if the satnav were to be ‘SIM enabled and have a slot for a PAYG SIM card but that would add to the already high cost and one would still have to pay for data. Also, not everyone is bothered about traffic updates. Connecting to ones phone gives everyone the option if required.

For the price of it there's so much they have missed off it. A customized list of vehicles would have been beneficial, I have the 6250 so switching between all the different trailers you need to check height then convert it from ft and inches to meters. They could have made customized presets.

[@stum8374]

Hi Bert,don't they have ft & in's or mtr's?? do they not do both,so I take it we can we sue tomtom if we hit a bridge in ft,that's meant to be one reason we left the eu,we can still use lb & oz and ft & in's,a LOT of drivers r old school.

@@stum8374 they do but you need to change the whole distances and it messes up the map display and starts telling you distance to exits in different units. When I switched the height to Ft and Inches it changed me distance to Destination to KM

[@TerrariumFirma]

these are terrible satnavs. The list of problems is quite long but heres a few of them: 1. the power cable comes loose and falls out. It needs glueing in for a firm connection, but if its come loose, you need a new bracket, which is expensive, then glue it in before it works loose 2. it won't pair with any phone, so you can't get traffic updates. 3. it gets weight limits wrong on lots of roads, and will try to reroute you in all sorts of crazy stupid directions to avoid them. 4. it only has vehicle height in meters, so if yours is in feet and inches, you need to convert it yourself to input the height.

[@lukecinahgv]

3 of your 4 points are completely wrong. 1:) I’ve never had a loose connection from the power cable . EVER 2) It does pair with phone. You need to the hotspot page open on your phone whilst you connect, once connected you can then lock your phone 3) yes admittedly it does do some silly routes. Not often, this is where you have to use your intelligence and not 100% rely on it. Any half decent driver would plan his/her route before setting off 4) it does do ft and inch’s, you have to change the units settings to Km instead of miles and it’ll go into ft.
