You get three month's worth of Speed Camera data as well, although having to pay extra each year to keep the camera data up to date does seem a bit cheeky. I use TT Trucker Tools to find scales or a emergency Truck stop on my phone in case I need to stop because this GPS feature sucks. There are quite a few voices included as standard, although the computerised voice gives you the most information as it can read out street names as you go - useful in built up areas - although some of the pronunciations can be a little off. TomTom GO 6000 has been designed to be a portable plug and play device, and as such can be transferred from vehicle to vehicle with ease by the user.

You'll also find everything you need on each trip with useful points of interests (POIs) for professional drivers. This update prepares your navigation device for the week number rollover in April 2019 which has an impact on GPS.

Joining up with saved routes : When you select a route in My Routes, you can choose between driving to the starting point or to the point closest to your current location.

This ensures that the Trucker 600 is not only aware of changes in road layout or traffic patterns over time, but that it can re-route to more optimal routes in the event of adverse weather or accidents. TomTom GO 6000 is a top-of-the-range car sat nav which has a 6 inch screen which offers the sharpest image of any TomTom system. You can charge the sat nav from a standard micro-USB connector, if you're away from your car too, which adds to its flexibility. This enables truckers to not only plan their route, but to do so without being unintentionally directed through areas where their vehicle is not allowed, does not fit, or which otherwise presents a suboptimal route for a large commercial vehicle.Given the general consensus by the industry to pack such screen with more and more esoteric options, it's refreshing for TomTom to buck the trend and focus on what really counts. TomTom Speed Cameras provides alerts for fixed speed cameras and average speed zones and when your device is connected, mobile camera locations. Bigger menus and buttons on the extra-large 15 cm (6"), high-resolution screen make input a touch simpler. This covers you for real-time updates on slow moving traffic and roadworks on your route, via the TomTom Traffic system. This mount includes the power connector and uses a traditional suction cup system that you twist the collar to lock in place.

The screen is bright and clear and easy to see whatever the lighting outside, and the voices are clear and precise too. Entering destination information was intuitive, with plenty of scope for finding places either by entering postcodes, towns and street name or by interacting directly with the responsive maps. Immediate directions occupy a thin lozenge at the top of the screen, with a similar lozenge at the bottom for the speed limit and your current speed.QuickGPSfix ensures your sat nav always finds satellites quickly meaning you can start navigating soon after switching the unit on. With a 6-inch screen displaying the road ahead so clearly, you learn to drive accordingly, and while the voice is still important, it's now just part of the information at your disposal, not the only thing. This GPS is not very good at find routes for trucks, it directs me on roads where trucks are not allowed.

TomTom will support its products and provide updates and services until such products reach their end of life. The fact that the system does not have any sort of built-in Wi-Fi connection and is dependent on the user’s phone and an app is inconvenient, but the fact that the software can be programmed using a phone or desktop computer and then updated instantly so long as the device is connected to a phone is certainly convenient. It frees you from relying exclusively on the limited information you get from the directions delivered by voice, and means you can correctly predict what is coming up so much better. The TomTom GO 6000 comes preloaded with European maps with lifetime map updates which includes 45 European countries. If we do have any genuine criticisms of the TomTom Go 6000, it's with the construction of the unit, or rather TomTom's choice of materials.Furthermore you can get traffic and speed camera information on your sat nav using Route Bar feature.
