Hi Dave, did you say at the start of this video that you plug into the 24v socket in the lorry. Can it be used in the 24v as the 12v in my unit is not working just now.
Dave how are you finding the go expert after a few months use is the traffic and travel updates good on it with it being tethered to your iPhone Bluetooth do you have problems at all with it dropping out or is the connection good . I’m considering buying one was hoping Tomtom would release the 4g sim version with built in lifetime speed cameras and traffic and travel which was supposed to happen end of last year but seems like they have cancelled it for the time being due to the semi conductor shortage hopefully working on a new solution
I’m finding it - overall - a great sat nav. It gas it’s little issues like routing me to a motorway junction that isn’t open yet or directing me a very long way (12 miles) around a 7.5t restriction that doesn’t exist - luckily I knew the rout was ok otherwise a literally 2 mile run would have been 14 miles long!!! It is annoying that the app doesn’t pair up with my iPhone so I can’t get the benefits of my tom tom but - those niggles aside - it hasn’t let me down routing through central London, avoiding traffic hold ups etc. It does advise me of traffic/roadworks on my route and I have it set where I can choose to reroute to avoid it or just go through. So overall I am happy with it. Updating does take time while out and about but at home on WiFi it’s very quick so I tend to wait to update until I’m home.
Also Dave just want to find out if your on the Home Screen of the tomtom and it’s showing the map of the uk and you zoom in scan along roads does it show if their are weight restriction or low bridges on them roads I currently have the go professional 6250 and it doesn’t show that when you scan in and out of the map . I know on the new go expert it shows signed restriction when on your route when it’s routing mode
I’m not sure they come up on screen on a route. I enter my trailer height when I’m entering my address/post code and the TomTom routes around any low bridges.
I charged it in an adapter plug from the wall socket - same as any USB plug in adapter like you get with iPhone etc. since then it is always powered in the truck. I have noticed it doesn’t seem to hold much charge and does need to be plugged in to power socket all the time. First time overnight though was vid a plug adapter in house
I’d say it had ben brilliant in daily use. It has found all post codes and street names I’ve searched for, routed me correctly 99% of the time - it has routed me to a motorway junction that is there but not yet open which is the only reason it’s 99%! Screen is large & easy to read. It will not connect to the app with my iPhone and TomTom customer services answer is basically you don’t need to connect to the app to use the device! Not very helpful. Shame too as it means I can’t access the spoken text messages feature which is the only part of the app I was interested in anyway. Overall I’d rate this as a 4.5/5 - excellent sat nav, great features just a shame it can’t pair to the app with mu iPhone 👍🏻
I have an iPhone so can’t really help sorry. I do know you need to have bluetooth and mobile wifi (personal hotspot on iPhone) active and tethered to the Tom Tom device. All I could suggest is to go on TomTom website, they have walkthrough guides and videos to help. My iPhone will not connect to the My Drive app which was disappointing
Good review.

Yes mate, mine is plugged into 24v. Has also been used in 12v so ok in either.
@@HGVDave Thanks Dave, didn’t know that. Thanks again and take care. 👍
How to ad multiple post code, thanks

@@HGVDave ok thanks for the reply

@@chrisbaxter6706 It doesn’t as far as I can see. When you set a route it identifies weight and height restrictions though
Hi I don't get the bridge heights on screen

Hi Dave. How did you charge it first time overnight ? Do you use computer USB port to charge it ?
I charged it in an adapter plug from the wall socket - same as any USB plug in adapter like you get with iPhone etc. since then it is always powered in the truck. I have noticed it doesn’t seem to hold much charge and does need to be plugged in to power socket all the time.
First time overnight though was vid a plug adapter in house
So, was it any good in use?
I’d say it had ben brilliant in daily use. It has found all post codes and street names I’ve searched for, routed me correctly 99% of the time - it has routed me to a motorway junction that is there but not yet open which is the only reason it’s 99%!
