- This is the brand new 5” GO EXPERT from Tomtom. It may be smaller in size but boasts all the same specs as it’s big brothers the 6” and 7” GO EXPERT
Smaller means it takes up less space on the windscreen/dash meaning you can see more of what is important… the road ahead.
The 6” Tomtom GO EXPERT is Available now and I have my very own discount for it, simply click this link and it’ll be automatically applied for you 😎 Tomtom.Co/3x2dmTt
For the 7”, 10% off using this link 7” GO EXPERT tomtom.co/3x2dmTt

I think I'm on the bigger is better fence when it comes to a sat nav, been able to see more of the road layout ahead etc etc. I'll be going in for my practical side of things in the next few months. pretty sure I'll be buying a TomTom as they always seem to come out on top, that's based on the many reviews I've researched in regards to many different makes and models. whilst they may be slightly expensive, if you break that down over the number of days you'll be using it, literally pennies or less per day.
Just bought a 7” after watching your previous videos, mine has the search option in top left so I guess it’s a new feature across the board. Something I’ve noticed from this video. I have my side bar set at narrow and if you press on the icons it gives you info but no distance to that point, I see by having the side bar wider the distance is displayed so I will be changing that in the morning. Also have you tried “My Drive” on your phone? I use it to find my destination by typing in the address then zooming in to the exact point and dropping a pin then just “send destination” and it syncs to my sat nav.
Hi! Have you tried Garmin Dezl 700 or 770? If yes, can you tell me which works better in UK? If no, do you plan to test and compare?
did yours come with the mounting bracket and cable etc with the discount code?
I still have the 6200..
do you know if the 4g version has come out yet....... as i don't want to use my phone for traffic updates...........
issue is with smaller if you need to look a the satnav well driving the 7 inch is clearer and easier to spot things on we're as the 5 inch is onna take more concentration and more time looking
Hi luke do you know if they are bringing the tomtom expert out with a built in sim
a long time ago me and dad picked up a tomtom go classic 6in and going from a normal tomtom to a 6in was amazing now i do not use it as my car has built in satnav but when i get my trucking licence i will start using it again in till i can get a go expert
My expert 7 freezes then the screen go black and comes back on again anyone any ideas why? Thanks
How does the traffic work? Is it link to your phone or the same as the 6250? I think it's a bit of a pain to have to get traffic updates via smartphone. Any advice welcome please !!!
Via phone as stated on their site. The 6250 is the best as it does all without need for fon
Hi Luke. Good video, thanks for giving your review. Have you ever used Garmin? Only reason I’m asking is because I’ve been using a truck specific DEZL 7” for the past 7 (maybe 8) years and it’s really showing its age so needs replacing. I’m impressed with the way TomTom seems to work but I’m concerned at switching brands purely out of familiarity. I know each brand has its pro’s & con’s, but the one thing I really dislike about Garmin is the lack of app/website support and its sometimes laughable routing options. I think I have the best sat nav, so long as I tell it where to go - like every road along the way!! It happily takes through small town centers in an artic, rather than using the nicely routed bypass…
Is the TomTom better in you honest opinion? If so, I’ll use your link to order one.
Thanks and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Luke can you do an update video on the 7" version maybe covering any updates that TomTom have made to the device since its initial release, cheers
I bought an expert 7 for my new job and it’s faulty. It keeps going to sleep because power is interrupting. The connection between the cable and the cradle is loose. I’ve tried to contact TomTom via support and no one is getting back to me. I need to return/exchange this but have no one to talk to, I need this for my job. Very disappointing customer service
It’s only 2 days old^^^^
Very interested as I’m coming back to class 1. Need a new sat nav. Did you say there was a discount code? Cheers.
Great videos. You get what you pay for. Hate buying cheap knock offs that don’t do what they say! Keep up the good work!
I have used the 6250 for several years now, its great, apart from the map colours; they fade out unless I tilt the satnav backwards. Ive tried all the settings and even contacted tomtom about it but that was basically a waste of time.
Hi does tom tom 5 expert work for the car does it have the map of Morocco
Thank you
When I passed my test I got a garmin truck sat nav and it’s served me well for the last 3 years, truth be told it’s all I could afford at the time ( cex B grade 😁 ) can’t complain, one day I’d like a Tom Tom
Sir, 6250 is way better then the experts 6,7 now 5. Even the live traffic is better than in experts..
This is exactly the kind of info that is needed in a review.....
now it is 7 months is I use the 7inch which is a very good really satnav. one thing that annoyed me about it which is the connection. after less than 20 days of use, the USB was loose and was coming out. after a month of emailing and discussing with TomTom finally they send me a new connection. but no point because that would be the same again. the point it the design of the connection is inappropriate. they told me I do not have to connect and disconnect the connection every day. the question is so why it is not designed permanently. after all, I am happy with the map and the satnav except the mount.
can you use your sat nav to find a place by just useing a post code .
Thanks for the review just used your 10% discount cheers Luke 💪
Just ordered 7 inch using your code. Ta.
Hello mate any new models coming out
I have tried a lot but it's impossible.. no qr code no ingo how to meke it. Tom tom costumers service don't now how they can help me
Seen a lot of reviews of the expert 7 and complaints of being taken down roads that are unsuitable for hgv.
Could look this up, but you said you'll take questions . . . Do any of them work in portrait mode?
I'm so used to using a phone that way and that's great for when you need well in advance visual warning of the road ahead and not what's going on in roads your leaving behind. Just saying.
Just bought 6” because 7” link didn’t work. Hopefully it’s big enough but thanks anyway for the discount code.
Looks like your struggling to say something positive about this device other than it’s smaller and you can see more of the windscreen, still we await the more detailed reviews. I hope they have sorted out some of their atrocious mapping directions for artics.
no trucker in the world has ever said smaller is better
🚛👍
Good review Luke. I have the 6250 and to be honest has never let me down. Easy to use and setup. Although I try not rely on a satnav all the time, and still prefer to use a map to plan routes for the longer journeys and use the satnav to help me when closer to the destination.
Review? Of what? The only thing he said was it covers less space on the window?😂
@@FoodAndDrinkUK 🙄 well… it was a short video and not a 30 min section on the Gadget Show! 🤣
@@rdtruckinguk8532 10 minutes to tell us 1 good thing about it. Come on it doesn’t take a genius to figure out what he’s actually doing
@@FoodAndDrinkUK crikey fella, you must be bored or something….. what’s your problem? You don’t have to watch videos, you can make a choice. Most of the channels you subscribe to make money from sponsors or promotions. So what if it’s a little vague, I would do the same as Luke if I could.
Ever had a problem using the latest Tom Tom I wouldn't use nothing else ,,good updates all the time ,, , no problems
Nice one again Luke
thanks Wayne
Absolutely no problem whatsoever Luke
Problem with TomTom is that they gone mad with pricing everything. It's like micro transactions. Would be nice if they provide a bundle with everything on it for a fixed price
SNOOPER TRUCKMATE for me.
Shame Tom Tom don’t incorporate a dash cam into their sat navs like garmin do on some of their model ranges
That is a good idea mate
@@lukecinahgv can you please pass on the suggestion Luke 🤷🏻♂️😂 I’m a Tom Tom fanboy so would suit me providing the dash cam would be high quality & take 128gb plus sd card lol
The only thing about adding in a dashcam feature is it eats up the battery and runs much hotter. I have a snooper and it's old but never let's me down. My friend had snooper with dashcam and it was always very hot and battery was not lasting any amount of time when unplugged from charger. I'm thinking about upgrading too a tomtom as my snooper is that old there is no more map updates available for it. I don't need satnav much but it handy for time too time.
Luke as a truck driver in Australia it’s great to see what another driver think of a product not just listening to the what companies try & feed us
I have a tom tom 6000
& after not using it for some time,
When I went to update it I found out that tom tom tossers had discontinued it.
Wankers
I not sure if there is another way to update it without using tom tom web page. ?
Tinha um expert 6. Mais pelo preço e ser a mesma coisa comprei o5
I always fing it shows your age when u hear people say the cigarette thingy for connecting.. 12v lol
Cigarette lighter
It’s actually worse than 6 and 7 models. 5 with regular screen and 6 and 7 with HD screen.
I would have loved to have had a 7" but I only have a 5"
Snap!
You 2 are lucky 🍀 mines stopped working 🥵🥵
And then there's the 6"ers.
My wife wants the 7”, not the 5”!!!
@@headshrinker8595 Well to be honest I don’t blame her 😊
you would'nt say the same thing in size about you'r wedding tackle
I like the UI design of TomTom units. Looks really nice and clean. But around where I am Garmin gets me places, TomTom does not. Works fine in the larger cities but otherwise it’s hit and miss. Haven’t used a TomTom in a couple of years so maybe it has changed.
Sorry to be a dumb ass but….What does POI’s mean??
Points of interest
I quite liked this single sponsor video, no hoody adverts, no drinks adverts etc. Looking forward to seeing you driving around using it.
Yea I have to say, seeing the hoodies thing pop up multiple times and the drastic reduction in driving footage doesn't do it for me
Never ever buy tomtom hgv satnav's.
I've just had to return my tomtom hgv satnavs as they are crap & dangerous to use.
I returned my pro + because its sent me down a 6,6 restricted road & kept crashing & leaving the screen blank which nearly caused an accident.
Apparently the halfords store I returned it to said that several hgv drivers have returned them due do faults.

Hi Luke why don't Tom Tom and others do a built-in DashCam to save space with their sat navs
Other than stating the obvious of the appearance and contents of the box, and then proceeding to sell this to your viewers, the only positive if that's what you want to call it was that its smaller???? I'm a tom tom user of 20 years. They have been making tom Tom's this small since the beginning.... so when I clicked the video with tom tom upped their game, could you tell me how, where and what is so ground breaking about this model? No speak of the specs, processor, memory, speed. No technical info whatsoever. How much faster compared to the previous model and such? If anyone owned the trucker 6000 they will know the pain of the slow processor and use my drive on the phone to pre plan routes then send the destination to the tom tom device. Can this tom tom still use my drive? Is it needed? Worst sales pitch ever. I think truckers should stick to 🚚 ing.
🥱
The speed of this thing compared to a 6250 is hilarious 😂
👍
Is the screen anti glare Luke. 🧐

HI Luke, i'm really surprised they never sent you out the 7" straight off to be honest. I can't think of a single positive for any commercial driver to use/want a 5" version. Fair play to you though, as their Brand ambassador putting on a brave face about it. But honestly it's ridiculous from them.
…And their prices, I expect
I'll give you £100 for it 🙂
To all the people slating the review I’ve been a driver for 10 years the amount of drivers I’ve trained that are buying cheap sat navs that can never find places is ridiculous Tom Tom is the leader but people want to save a couple hundred pounds but for what a sat nav that doesn’t help u.
Well said
I don't really see anyone slating Lukes review par say. Just that to anyone even with minimal experience of driving commercial vehicles would tell you, a 5" screen is crap when comparing it to a 7" one.
Luke tried his best as their Brand Ambassador to put on a brave face, but it was plain to see how he really felt about it. Well unless you're blind that is.
Finally and i'm sure most agree, yes TomTom is the market leader, but giving a commercial driver a 5" screen to promote when they do a 7" version and know he already has that size sat nav, is just stupid on their part.
I bought a Tom Tom years back and it was so dreadful that I threw it. The damn thing lost all the maps and refused to download any updates. I now have Garmin and what a difference, it constantly updates the maps without a computer, can find companies and venues, places of interest and warns me if there are cameras, or I've gone over the speed limit and it displays the speed of the road. I had none of this with Tom Tom.
Sounds like you described every feature on the go expert 🤙🏻
I wish they'd get rid of the massive bezels
Considering mobile phones can go right to the edge, it does make you wonder why that hasn't caught on yet with these satnavs.
I am a leg man 😉
Tomtom has some very serious problems. I don't know what's happening over there I think they're half out of business.
Don't Trucks have one anyway Build into them or not
Nah majority don't mate down to the driver to pull his hair out when he reaches the point of no return
What is it with all the pissed viewers that he’s getting free products? Luke’s videos are free, we don’t pay for them. There’s no reason he can’t accept free products!
I disagree- tomtom is without doubt the worst navigation ever. I just got a 2023 RAM and discover they put tomtom in the ram. I am disgusted and wish the absolute worst for whoever put this crap in my truck. I thought tomtom died 23 years ago and just to keep it nice- i flat hate it totally and completely.
Did TomTom give you that GPS for Free?
If so, by UK law you need to say "sponsored" in the title or description.
Or #ad
There should be a pop-up message when you play the video. If not then that is down to youtube mate
It does actually say Includes paid promotion, right at the start of the video.
@@deanclark9774 that wasn't in when i posted
The video had just gone live. Give RUclips a chance 🤙🏻
Stop being picky 😀
all getting a bit too advertising / sponsorship based. Sorry buddy but you're earning a good living as it is and I don't have the money to buy into this. Ill move on.
Showing a product that I use daily for my job is too much? Okay. 🤙🏻
Don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out 👍 What's the problem with Luke showing you the new toy?
Everybody can have their own opinion and also make that choice to watch or not watch. Just curious is your moniker a ham radio call sign, or a plane registration.
I think the title of the video pretty much said what it was going to be about. Don’t have to watch every video, but if Luke is earning a few extra quid for doing this, then good luck to him, and I’m happy to support that.
got one of these DO NOT BUY as you will not see the screen in a sunny day this is what he is not showing !
I see the screen perfectly fine in direct sunlight. I’ e never had an issue with the screen. At all!
