The 465T is not quite there yet. It feels like a car gps with a couple truck features thrown in.
PROS:
Nice Point To w/auto night/day.
Free Lifetime traffic.
Categorize your favorites.
Expedient signal reception.
Multiple vehicle profiles.
Bluetooth speakerphone.
Multistop routing.
CONS:
Favorites minute to 1,000 entries.
Custom POI's are downright painful and can't be modified without a computer.
Can't route with a via only with stops.
Crashes alot if you aren't sticking to the route. (reboots speedily on its fill though) .
No procedure to filter out car only points of interest.
Can not rely on its route to be upright. (It has tried to route through truck restricted areas)
Missing many truckstops and weight stations, and has no rest areas or designated parking locations.
Doesn't seem to employ the weight limit settings.
And Many, Many More....
SUMMARY:
If I'd known better, I would have stuck with my TomTom One car GPS. It was more kindly and not nearly as expensive. If Garmin would fix the contrivance truck data and add a couple of features like navigate via and turning off the car stuff, it wouldn't be too poor. But as it stands now, you should build your money and wait for something better. This is a very disappointing product.
I drive a truck in 48 states and this thing never loses signal not obvious why this other guy is. maybe he needs to call garmin. I never lose signal and when going threw a tunnel its able to calculate were i shold be and maintain showing me on arrangement camouflage without me ever shimmering it lost signal in a tunnel. I have weak other gps brands and they all are dreadful. Even though this is not perfect it is aloof the best trace of gps's on market. Shroud size is ok for me even when i'm sitting scheme encourage but i guess some people have weaker eyes. The only thing you should know is on all brands of gps always read ahead on what it wants you to do. that draw when merging all over the station you know ahead of time what you need 2 do. on a garmin push top left to accumulate a pic of next turn and push top center to glean a list of written directions on what it wants you 2 do..
Picked this up at J&R for my uncle, who's a truck driver. He gave me his feedback and I returned in a few days.
Here's why:
Pros -
- Functions unbiased like a Garmin - easy to use
- NAVTEQ maps are the best - he said it had roads that PC Miler never heard of
- multiple vehicle profiles
Cons -
- The speaker was unpleasant - he said even with the window closed, you couldn't hear the thing at ALL. So you had to ogle the cloak for every turn. This also rendered the Bluetooth connection useless as you can't hear the caller.
- Can't avoid a specific road (!) The GPS sometimes do him on highways that were not ideal, and there's no method to lisp it NOT to spend that road.
- When using the glide mount, the GPS signal was not gargantuan. It worked splendid in my car, but in my uncle's truck the fling was apparently too far from the window to sight the satellites. It would need an external antenna.
Some of these things we could live with, but the speaker and road avoidance were deal breakers. I'm looking at other options, so should you.
