The 3D mapping looks like a prototype, not a patch on traditional Tom Tom graphics. You cannot get a written summary of the calculated route only a preview map. The device takes a good minute to boot up. You cannot upload even new voices, nothing!! You cannot even see what POI's the device has on-board as it won't list them or let you browse, your only allowed to word search the lot in one go - great if your sure what your looking for but what if you just want to look through and pick say a car park that suits you? if you don't already know its name forget it! Its seems to think its Google not a Sat Nav. You can only computer access it via Mydrive for updating which gives no direct access to the device only a sort of web based server connection so you can only do what Tom Tom allow - which is very little!!!! Currently on this device there is NO support for installing your own or 3rd party POI's, if you want to manually create your own POI you can't even create your own groups!! they all go in the same list. This is a terrible device! Much of the usual functionality has been removed. Hopefully in time Tomtom will be able to resolve these Issues,But at the moment I Think it was brought to market too soonĪlso this bit of kit could be more geared to the Business user Rather than ur average Trucker It would be an injustice to Rate This Piece of Kit Due to the on going Issues with it for a truck driving Aid it's Frightening that the basic Functions are missing, Unable to back-up or save points of Intrest or my places to hard drive due to Pro-Drive being a remote piece of computer software!.just really a disfunctional piece of Kit My automatic map upgrade did not work yet another phone call to Tomtom Serana the computer voice goes off every time I turn it off & to get it back requires a soft reset of the tomtom To say i'm disappointed would be an understatement! I have had a Tomtom for app 10 to 15yrs now & being a loyal customer my wife bought me the TomTom PRO LIVE 5250 TRUCK Live recommended by the retailer has the most uptodate piece ok Kit!.well it would be if it worked. To be Honest this has got to be the worst bit of Kit Tomtom have made, TomTom 5250 Truck Pro - A really Poor Piece Of Kit sweeper1gg SENIOR MEMBER Posts: 417 Joined: Thu 10:25 am a must for me in november if your looking for one, just get used to it for a week or two then make your derision. something map apparently, but here is the problem if you have that map you cannot update until November as that is when the new map for the system with the patch for fastest route problem is coming out, but besides the minor fault it it s better than my snooper s8000 just because of the live traffic and ten times graphics with the ow some lane guidance i now the snooper has but nowhere near the tomtom. but the new 5250 has been very good as in gps and the live traffic is brill it lets you no how far you are from traffic jams and how log you will be stuck in them, however if you put t on fastest routes it tends to take you down roads that the truck can go down but maybe not a favorite for a new driver, but will never take you down a road with a low bridge or a road a truck cannot cope with.Īnyhow i rang tom tom the only number to get correct information and help is 02088223600 trust me this correct otherwise you will be passed from pillar to post, so i rang them and they said they are aware about the truck taking people down some in there word,s unfriendly roads but assured me that there will never be a low bridge or or a road that the truck would not get stuck, and i believe them as i have been using it and are easy roads just the odd country lane when not needed really.so if you buy this system it is already up to date with the 9. I bought the tomtom 5150 when it came out, but had trouble with losing gps i have now found out that was down to the processor not being up to scratch.
