Go expert truck question

[chili]

Currently had a 6250 which was showing its age and quite sluggish, traded that with a mate of mine for another well known brand, however i do miss my tomtom so i am looking to buy TomTom GO Expert Truck Sat Nav 7" i drive a coach not a truck


Live traffic - does the unit have to be paired to a smartphone to get this info or is it built in? the reason i ask this is because a well known car product store is advertising it as built in.......

Is there a wifi model yet like the 6250 with everything built into it?

thanks for any replies

That particular model does not include a built-in cellular modem, no. Would be interested in whatever link you have that says otherwise.

My preferred method for getting traffic to these units is to set my phone up as a WiFi hotspot. Very reliable.

At present, there's none available with cellular capability unless you go with the offshoot Bridgestone products, aka Webfleet.

[Cheers for the reply i thought as much, if you click on the tomtom go expert part of my thread that will direct you to the device on halfrauds website, click on specifications and there you will see they state built in

cheers

Ah, I'll bet it's this bit that is causing the confusion:

Would tend to make one think it had built in SIM and cellular modem the way that's worded.
