Hello everybody welcome to my channel my name is Luke thank you very much for watching I do appreciate it now what exactly are we doing here today let me tell you this is a review video on the brand new TomTom Go expert by TomTom now I've been very fortunate in my hastily career that I've actually solely used TomTom I've had the TomTom trucker 6000 the TomTom Go Professional 6200 the TomTom Go Professional 6250 and now the TomTom Go expert that's a lot of names to remember before we go any further I must tell you that this is a paid review TomTom are paying me to to made this video and to they provided this TomTom as well for free that being said this is an honest review I would be telling you when he lies this is going to be the truth and TomTom I know you're watching this because you want me to send you a review of this video if you email me saying are you need to remove this are you need to remove that we will knock it on the head I won't upload the video this is going to be an honest review this is the TomTom Go expert if you want to know what I think stay tuned so let's talk a little bit about the product itself so this is the brand new TomTom Go expert you've got a nice sleep new menu you can actually change the way it looks you can have it so it looks like it did before or you can change it to the new layout which I have it just looks so much nicer yeah you have the traditional live traffic you have updates telling you when there's traffic jumps up ahead it will give you alternative routes you've got your weight your height your width restrictions you can put your speed into it as well and as well as your height your width your speed you also get your UN regulations your ADR tunnels and also your city bands which is new to the Go expert and of course you get your TomTom live traffic you get your speed cameras on it as well you get 50,000 POIs and it also comes up on when you plan a route your your fuel stations your parking spots it's just genuinely really good now the biggest change for me is the processor in my opinion the 60-50 was a little bit slow quite sluggish didn't really do what you wanted to do when you wanted to do it the new TomTom Go expert is four times faster it's like so much more smoother it calculates routes so much quicker as well so if I just zoom out I can go to a random spot up here in the Wakefield H&H check polydenton lane this is a place to go to quite regularly I can just press go and within a few seconds it will calculate not only one route but three routes and I've done a speed test on the previous version and it calculates those three routes quicker than the C2-50 actually calculates one route it is so unbelievably fast and it's amazing in my opinion now we are actually outside at the moment I mean it's not ballistically bright but you know that's on four brightness it's quite bright screen you can see it it's clear as day in the truck I've not had a single problem I've had sunlight directly in my eyes I can still see the TomTom Go expert it's much brighter than the previous version it's also got a louder speaker than the previous version as well not that I use the speaker because it's normally muted does my it in but it is louder it is brighter it is faster and it's bigger I don't know if I've mentioned that yet but the TomTom Go expert is a seven inch screen whereas the TomTom 6250 good professional 6050 is a six inch screen so you can see the difference there is a batting inch difference and when you first open the box and you see this you do think it's quite big but actually it's coming quite handy now one of the things I genuinely like the most about this product is that you could be on a route or an unplanned route doesn't matter but you could be on a road and you'd be coming across like a junction to say for example go left or go right and without you even knowing that there's a bridge down there or a weight limit down there it actually comes up on screen and tells you it's a little circle and it'll tell you whether there's a bridge with a height sign or whether it's a width limit or whether it's a seven and a half ton weight limit it gives you a little symbol at the start of the junction so before you even gone down the road you know that there is a width weight or height or some sort of restriction that may enable you not to go down there and I think that's actually really good because it saves you the hassle of going down there and finding out too late I mean yes the sign should be on those signs but just having it a little symbol it's just a little symbol on the on the junction it just makes a world of difference and it just makes you feel more confident when you're driving and as I said this could be you could have a planned route and it will still tell you like on the left or on the right or you can have an unplanned route and just driving freely if you like and it will still show you the restriction and I genuinely like that I think that's a fantastic idea now other features as with the Tom Tom Gober Personal 650 you can do wireless updates it must have like a bigger Wi-Fi receiver in it or something because three times faster meaning you can download all those wireless updates all those road updates a lot quicker than you could on previous devices as well and of course it's all wireless downloading as well so you don't need to bring your computer to work or you don't even need to take this home if you really want to you can just grab your phone, tie it to it and you can do the updates wireless the only phone now talking of being tethered to your phone the current version out of the moment does require you to be connected to your phone for the traffic updates now Tom Tom do plan on releasing a slightly newer version of this later on in the year which will have a SIM card built in so you can have your 4G and you can download all the traffic updates without having to connect your phone but for now you have to connect to your phone and as with the Go Professional 650 the Tom Tom Go X but does have lane guidance as well now I'm in two minds of the lane guidance if I'm being completely honest with you it's quite nice it sort of really zooms in on the road that you need to be on which is good but in my opinion it stays on too long you've kind of you come off the junction you're on the road now and it's still zoomed in and you have to overpress it to take it off or just wait for it which I do think takes a little bit too long I mean it's alright but it could do a bit of work if I'm on this review on the lane guidance now while we're talking of things that are not too particularly keen on as I said I'm gonna be honest in this video I always am say for example I don't know I want to go there this is top hill services so if I just say go to top hill services there you go it's gonna come up the roots we'll just take the default route here now it comes up with your bar which has always been there it's gonna give you your ETA how long does it take to get there in minutes and how many miles it is you've got parking a few stops on the way as well if you want to zoom in and have a look at them but the thing that I'm not happy with is this is this down here in the bottom right hand corner so on the GoPro Festival 60 250 which this is replacing you've had the current time down there so you have the current time there you're eating at the top now I've looked in every single setting menu I cannot find an option to turn the current eat the current time on and that bugs me I want to know what time it is now I mean yes I've got a watch yes I got a tacum machine yes I got a display on the dash but I would rather look for me personally I would rather look on the TomTom to see the current time and the current ETA and I'm sure that could be updated in a future in a future update hopefully another thing I don't particularly like is the fact that you have to have blue I know blue is the TomTom default color but on previous devices you can go into the setting menu you can change the appearance and you can have like a green or a blue or a pink or a purple and it's little things like that just a little bit of customization just makes it feel a little bit more unique and more sort of like this spoke to you but from what I can see at the moment and again this could be changing the future update but from what I can see at the moment it is purely blue only I'm afraid and of course you've got your voice activation on it as well so if you wanted to control your TomTom via your voice why are you're driving so as hands free be as safe as possible you absolutely can or you've got to do is say hello TomTom I'm listening cancel route clearing route and it's as simple as that it's really quick actually a lot quicker than the previous one as well which is good so yeah I don't want to make this video too long this is the new TomTom Go expert it's very quick it's bigger it's faster brighter louder and easier to use I would say over the TomTom Go professional 6250 so the TomTom Go expert is currently retailing around about 400 pounds in the UK is it worth the 400 pound I don't know I mean if you like me you like to have the biggest the best there is out there then I would say it is absolutely worth the money if I had to buy one myself I would would I buy one over the 6250 you know what I think I would like I said this is bigger it is faster louder brighter it's just better than the 6 650 so I 100% would get the Go expert over the 650 don't even need that I can just go over there out the way so yeah TomTom Go expert 100% recommend don't forget to like, comment, subscribe all that thank you very much for watching till next time drive safe stay safe I'll see you soon bye bye
