TomTomTruck Sat Nav GO Expert Plus (7 Inch HD Screen, Large Vehicle Routing and POIs, Included Traffic, World Maps, Live Restriction Warnings, Quick Updates Via WiFi, USB-C) Black - NEW SOFTWARE

Brilliant piece of kit. Even though I do the same route every day. I still have it It informs me of road closures and delays then suggest a quicker route. This is the third one I’ve had. Nothing wrong with the others just up graded or replace a damage one. ( I dropped it)

So I've had this for about 2 weeks and I use it at night because all the demon road works come out to play,so last night it gave me a lot of help because of closures, I can't recommend this enough if you drive hgv or coaches, I also like the way it flashes for up coming speed cameras and speed alterations

What I like:- Clear mapping. Never took a wrong turn in the 3 days that I used it.- bright, high res display.What I dislike:- randomly reboots several times a day.- today it randomly shut down and didn't reboot when I was driving in heavy traffic.- screen attracts fingerprints.- volume could do with going higher, struggle to hear it over my music. Google maps on my phone is louder.- not compatible with the TomTom My Drive app.- can create a route on the device, but can't save it.- syncs with mydrive.tomtom.com, but you can't edit a route on the device itself (so can't add or delete stops).- had difficulty re-ordering stops. If I had say 6 stops it would sometimes only show me 5 of them on the map, so I re-order the 5 but then it doesn't show me the 6th stop, and it won't allow me to continue.- if I have input multiple stops and just want to reorder one or two, I can't, you have to re-order them all.- It has the option to show turn by turn directions for your whole route, but won't show a simple list showing each of your stops on a route.- Shows the time to your next stop or destination (this is configurable), but doesn't show the current time.- I enabled speed camera alerts, but not once did it alert me to a speed camera.I'm returning this unit for a refund and going back to the free Road Lords app available on Android. That app is far from perfect, but it's miles ahead of TomTom.

When everything is connected and you have it turned on from being off and not in sleep mode , this is a fantastic nav system,The problem I’m finding is1 it disconnects from the app quite often2 when you wake it up from sleep mode , for some reason the blue box with the next turn information disappears and you need to shut the nav down and restart it to get it back ,3 at 100% volume it’s still not that loud4 and this goes for all truck sat nav’s (and for the price of them I can’t understand why) it does not allow you to put abnormal load dimensions in , and then route you accordingly.ie convoy exceptional routes through Europe,PositivesTraffic is spot on almost down to the meterScreen is bright and clearLane guidance when you get used to it is greatWiFi updates brilliant ideaWeight limit symbols on the live mapOver all it’s a really good nav and when the sim version coms out so you don’t need to link it to your phone and use your data up it will be even better

It's never put a foot wrong . Put all weights and dimensions in and always got to destination without a hicup

Great services

Let’s start by saying this is a review for the Tom Tom expert +7. I drive a truck not a lorry. First impressions Big, having had the 6 inch GSM professional model for many years, which I’ve been reluctant to replace unfortunately it just isn’t quick enough anymore or informative on traffic. So I beat the bullet and upgraded to this;1st, Instant dislike came when I turned it on and tried to do an update to the maps. Deleting what I didn’t need due to restricted space on the device itself (il come back to that point). This delete/ update killed the device as you can see in the image. Luckily, I could connect to my laptop and restore the operating system (which wasn’t too hard and the program actually forced towards), but be advised if you don’t have one of these as you may be in trouble if you experience the same issue.Once restored and fully set up, 2nd dislike, came when I went to update my maps as I realised very quickly that tom-tom have given you a very restricted internal storage (which is just Ludacris in this day and age), then they have removed the external microSD function.3rd Dislike came when I FINALY went to actually use it, there is an inherent issue with this software so the new function they rave about that gives you bold visual ques (arrows) to navigate you left or right, turns into a white or yellow box frequently rather than an arrow.4th and final dislike so far, the noise for the speed cameras has been dulled down so much, I can barely hear it over the radio, with the radio at a reasonable volume. Why they couldn’t give you an option to make it really invasive (like the professional was), if that’s what you want and keep all voice audio silent is beyond me.Given the market, TomTom are now in with most people using their mobiles; for me this satnav really doesn’t meet the price bracket they’re charging for it. Yes, it’s mostly quite good and it is quick and on the most part it is an upgrade from my professional model. Am I on the fence about keeping it? Absolutely. At the moment, I’m tempted to send it back if for no other reason then the visual cues/ software glitches. I have no confidence in the software long-term, given the issues I’ve already faced.I hope this helps inform you a little better than I was watching many reviews prior to purchase. None of which really mentioned these critical points.

Perfect...Best I ever had in my live
