Is a TomTom Go Professional 6250 worth buying?
As I returned Trucker 6000 as it was worse than my existing Truck 5150 Pro.
Trucker 6000 had a boring green screen, no poi's, wasn't accurate with destination times, no "where am I", etc.
Is Go Pro 6250 any better? As I heard there's no poi categories and can't add edit or delete if import them, plus doesn't accept bmp format? Plus has issues with lane guidance not working.

Correct... But you can display POIs on the driving view using the Tomtom Generic POI Iconstrucker6000 wrote:Doesn't accept .bmp format?

It is the onscreen text of the traffic that can't be increased on the right of the trucker 6000. Hence refunded and hope the go pro 6250 is better0

Hi
As far as I'm aware the Traffic/Route Bar is independent of the driving screen
The text size of the Traffic/Route Bar will only change with the screen size of the device

5150 Pro with 5" screen is larger text than the trucker 6000 pro0

Hi
The Trucker 5150 Pro is a NAV3 Device... The Trucker 6000 pro and the Go Professional 6250 are NAV4/5 devices, the NAV3 devices can't be used as a yardstick to make comparisons between the Trucker 6000 pro and the Go Professional 6250

Whats trucker 6000 nav 4 or 5 whats the difference between 4 and 5?
My trucker 5150 pro is spot on arrival times when the trucker 6000 wasnt accurate0 -
Hi
The NAV4 devices were launched 3+ years ago, the latest incarnation of this range is NAV(5 Wifi) the latest devices have a uprated Processor are updated using Wifi (If required they can still be updated over USB)
