GO Premium
I have just been given one. I will update you guys when I can. I saw the advert from TT
It may or may not be a good deal. I have just been given a GO PREMIUM with a case. No cost to me, but said bought for £249 and it included a case, but not the one advertised on the screen
Now I will be asking you questions and possibly answering some that I have come up with
I can say that it is a waist of time to replace your SD Card from say, a 5200 to a new unit or even swap a card between same units.
So please do not waist your time
The GO PREMIUM is still only USB 2, max SD CARD is still only 64GB, it is faster to change routes etc, and faster to upload changes to speed cams, poi etc. Not used for routes as still not travelling much, but assume a bit faster, not that I ever had with GO 5000+
Some new added features which could be useful, but not for me, so no comment. If it had not been given to me, I would not have bought it, though the screen at 6" is a lot better
It is a shame that the maps from my other units ae no good, as would have given the difference when new maps on Monday or Tuesday
Both the 5200, old and newer take about a day to install all the new maps on 64GB Cards. They are the fastest on the market
I cannot do here, but will 5G be faster than a USB link, compared via Port on HUB with Fibre. We will seethe Maverick Reviewed by the Maverick on . GO Premium I have just been given one.

One day, someone might make things work perfectly before release. Sadly not in my or your lifetime. At least by finding problems and sorting them, we are still alive.

Just a Quick Thought
Nothing lost or gained
Many of use do things, or try things. It is our curiosity and it is why we do better than the masses that just watch
I have said I just got a new GP Premium and tried using with a SD card from a unit to see if will be ok. Will it sees that I have them, but there is a problem in that, it says cannot load or is an error or bla bla etc
I am going to put in a card from one of my units and see if it updates the listed files when available from perhaps Tuesday.
If we do not experiment, we will not learn, or rely on others
I am pretty sure we try things than few or none have. If I have an interest, I have a goal, and if I have a goal, I aim to make itOne day, someone might make things work perfectly before release. Sadly not in my or your lifetime. At least by finding problems and sorting them, we are still alive.

Something I have notised as I add maps to the GO Premium. I was thinking, as I have the maps on my GO5200, I will download the same to the Premium, but I have noticed that some of the map names have changed. Southern Europe is now Europe South etc. No problem, but when I check, we will see what happens when TT updates the maps to the units (likely to be soon). I could wait, but my curiosity is making me download all the maps to the new unit before they send the new maps to us. I also want to see how the units compare to the time taken to update the units, since all have the same SD 64GB Cards. 256GB Card will not work, but I will see if 128GB will work with the new unit, but I have to wait for that. I suspect with the new maps, there will also be an update of software/hardware as well soon to the units. Actually the maps when they are downloaded, they have the same name, so nothing wrong. The larger SD Card comes soon, but for now I see 64GB as the largest addition that works. There is ITTT now too which although no matter for me, but for some is really a good advantage. I will explain ITTT if needed. It is in my field of knowledge, so you can ask if you do not know. If then, what.....
