TomTom Truck Sat Nav GO Professional 520 with European Maps and Traffic Services (via Smartphone) Updates via WI-FI, Designed for Truck, Coach, Bus and Large Vehicles

Got this after buying a navpal sorry but they may look similar but that’s where it ends. This device may have paid for services but you really do get what you pay for. I have lifetime free world maps and I also had a trial for speed cameras which I never waited to end I simply paid for the service as it not only brings camera but accidents black spots and other stuff a HGV driver needs. You can also have live updates which you must tether to your phone but they are great have saved me loads of time. It automatically re’routes you to the next best available road that is suitable for your vehicle. You can adjust from an oversized load to ADR and Hazardous load so to stick to specific routes. You have control over the length width height and max speed also if you wish to use certain roads. It’s a real truckers sat nav and I highly recommend it you won’t be let down. That is the good points now for some points that let it down a little , it’s not as fast as others when working out routes but hey you have your 10 min walk round and usually a few mins extra and you can plan your route from your phone and send it over to your GPS for when you start work so this negates it as a downside. It’s a little more complicated to use but not overly and I use it everyday even on routes I know like the back of my hand. If I can do it so can you honestly if this was the least of my worry’s my life would be the best you can have in my truck. It is a older model 2019 but as I said you can update the maps as needed once done it’s game on and job done. If you should around I used Amazon used section and got my unit for £130 instead of the £250 and it had no marks or scratch’s so if you get this option use it. It only means that a person opened and did not like it or something else no idea what but it’s brand new. Recap it does exactly what it says on the box “ I would recommend buying a storage box you can get them on Amazon for £15 it’s stores all your cables and the unit for the window” this little unit counts you into average speed areas and out again , also gives you the ability to report a mobile speed camera when you pass which is updated for other drivers. I know we can’t really speed as a uk driver unless it’s in a lower speed area but that’s on you if you get caught. Would I recommend it YES 100% at this price point which I got mine I would recommend it everyday. The cheap ones you can buy are just that cheap and I am sure will do the job but as I said Navpal broke on me had me driving through fields if I was silly enough to listen to it eg the A75 heading to Carlisle if you drive this route you know what I mean oh and it broke after it was out of the return 30 days so I have a gps that useless. Waste of money and time. Tried to contact them and get nothing. Buy correct first time and save yourself money and effort TomTom is the way to go.

Hi an absolute cracker. This gadget is a life saver.I was a bit wiery because it said refurbished...but it's like brand new no scratches or marks. Comes in a brand new tomtom box with all labels and windscreen holder. Would definitely buy again.

Been using this Sat Nav for about 9 months now, as a driver of both Class 1 and 2 vehicles in that time. It has served me well but to start off with the negatives, there are some annoying issues such as trouble connecting to WiFi/data, slightly laggy touchscreen and even after downloading the 'latest updates' it still will not pick up newer roads or 'upgraded' junctions etc and will attempt to navigate you through the old versions of the roads.However for me, the most important thing for a HGV driver is being able to put in your vehicle's height/weight dimensions etc and be confident that you're not going to be taken down any dodgy roads and in the main part this has been the case for me with this Sat Nav. One thing I have noticed is that if you deviate from the original route it gives you, for example if a certain part is closed or you're diverted, then it's as if all rules go out the window and it will send you down anywhere in order to get back on track.There was one occasion where I accidentally missed a turning into a yard (middle of nowhere, no signs to indicate I was in the right place) and by following the Sat Nav to get back to where I needed to be I ended up in a narrow housing estate not suitable for HGV's (no signs to indicate this) with cars parked either side of the road. I didn't have the room to manoeuvre my artic round the bend at the end of this road and had to knock on doors to get people to move their cars. I understand the original error was mine as I missed the turn but to me, a truck Sat Nav should not be telling you it's ok to go down unsuitable roads under any circumstances or at least warn you.Like I say though, you can be confident in this Sat navs ability to navigate you based on your vehicle dimensions and the only time problems occur is when there are unexpected diversions or closures. I personally use mine alongside another Sat Nav on my phone such as Waze or Google maps if there are diversions and would recommend this to others. There have been times where I've been diverted but the tom tom will attempt to get me back to where I know the road is closed for a time, several 'make a U turn's later and having followed Waze or Google to get round the diversion, you breathe a sigh of relief when eventually the tom tom and live maps on the phone get back in sync with each other. As long as you stay alert to the roads you're taking and keep an eye out for the 7.5T limit signs/height restrictions then you're all good.If you don't have any issues such as diversions then this Sat Nav will get you to your destination without any problems. You can choose to avoid part of the route before starting off for whatever reason and it will recalculate. It will alert you to upcoming speed cameras. On motorways when approaching exits/forks it will display which lanes you need to be in, for example if you're in the left lane of four but this lane is going to be an exit lane only coming up then it will show that you need to be in the other three lanes. It will alert you if you're above the speed limit.Overall I would definitely recommend to HGV Drivers but just be mindful that there will be occasions (especially if you do nights with all the closures and diversions) where you will need to use it in conjunction with a live Sat Nav on your phone.

Product arrived and I'm convinced it was brand new, for what I paid, I'm extremely happy. There were absolutely no signs of wear and tear.The satnav itself is easy to use and function, with accurate locations and easy programmability.I find connecting it to my phone and using the traffic functions easy to follow.The guidance has been good, although I would recommend turning off voice control as sometimes it picks up background conversation or the radio and offers voice assistance which was my only gripe, but other than that it's awesome for my HGV job.

Perfect, it looks brand new. Was easy to set up and had it fitted in my truck the same day.This is my fourth Tomtom. My last truck satnav was the 600 which still works perfectly well but the 620 has the added advantage of being able to connect to your phone and get live traffic.I also have a Tomtom on my motorbike. You can't fault them in my view however I've never owned a different brand so have nothing to compare them too.Recommended.
