NaviTruck vs TomTom GO Expert
By the NaviTruck team · Updated 15 October 2026
TomTom GO Expert is a well-known truck app. NaviTruck goes further where it matters on the road: it warns about low bridges and weight limits even when you are not navigating, it covers caravans and motorhomes as well as trucks, and one subscription includes every feature.
Why drivers choose NaviTruck over TomTom GO Expert
- You want restriction alerts with no route set, even with the app closed
- You tow a caravan or drive a motorhome as well as, or instead of, a truck
- You want every feature, CarPlay and Android Auto included, in one subscription

Where NaviTruck goes further
Driving without a route. We could not find restriction warnings without a route documented for the GO Expert app. NaviTruck's background protection does this on your phone: it notices you are driving, even with the app closed, and warns on the lock screen before a bridge, weight or width limit your vehicle does not fit.
Caravans and motorhomes. The GO Expert app documents truck, bus, van and car profiles; TomTom's caravan profiles are on its separate GO Camper devices. NaviTruck has truck and caravan profiles in the same app.
