FAQs

How do I update the maps on my TomTom GO Expert Plus?

Alternatively, you may need to use TomTom MyDrive Connect software on a computer, connecting your device via USB. > Info needed: Confirm exact update method (Wi-Fi directly or via PC software).

Can I use this device for both my truck and my car?

Yes, the TomTom GO Expert Plus is designed for both HGV and car navigation. You can switch between vehicle profiles in the settings, allowing the device to calculate routes appropriate for the type of vehicle you are driving.

Does this device require a subscription for real-time traffic updates?

The product description mentions 'real-time TomTom traffic updates'. Often these services are included for a lifetime or a specific period with the purchase of the device. > Info needed: Specifics of included traffic subscription duration and renewal costs, if any.

What is the warranty period for the TomTom GO Expert Plus?

Warranty information typically varies by region and retailer. It's best to check your purchase documentation or the official TomTom website for the specific warranty details applicable to your device. > Info needed: Standard manufacturer warranty period for this specific product.

How do I mount the device securely in my vehicle?

The device comes with a dedicated mount. For windshield mounting, ensure the surface is clean and dry before attaching the suction cup. For dashboard mounting, use the adhesive disc (if provided) for a stable base before attaching the suction cup mount. Position it to ensure clear visibility without obstructing your view or airbags.

Can I add custom points of interest (POIs) like loading docks or truck stops?

TomTom devices often support adding custom POIs. This feature allows you to import specific locations that are relevant to your routes, such as frequently visited delivery points or preferred truck stops. Consult the device's user manual or TomTom's support website for instructions on how to add and manage custom POIs. > Info needed: Confirmation and method for adding custom POIs.

Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Ensure the device is properly connected to a power source and that the vehicle's ignition is on. Check the power cable for damage and try a different power outlet in your vehicle if available. Fully charge the device before attempting to turn it on again.

No GPS signal or 'Lost GPS'

Make sure the device has a clear line of sight to the sky (not obstructed by metal, buildings, or heavily tinted windows). Move the vehicle to an open area if possible. Allow a few minutes for the device to acquire satellites, especially after being off for a long time or traveling a significant distance.

Traffic updates are not working

Verify that your device is connected to the internet (via built-in SIM, tethered smartphone, or Wi-Fi if applicable). Check the TomTom services status. Ensure your subscription for real-time traffic is active. Sometimes a device restart can resolve connectivity issues.

Incorrect HGV routing (e.g., routed down a restricted road)

Double-check that your HGV vehicle profile settings (height, weight, length, etc.) are accurately entered and saved on the device. Ensure the correct vehicle profile is active for your current journey. Map data might occasionally be outdated; ensure your maps are updated to the latest version.

Screen is unresponsive or frozen

Perform a soft reset by pressing and holding the power button for approximately 15-20 seconds until the device restarts. If the issue persists, ensure the screen is clean and free of debris. If the problem continues, contact TomTom support.
