Comment:
Well, I am a long haul trucker and a pilot as well. The first thing to get out of the way is the argument as to whether to use it or not. My philosophy is that it is yet another tool to navigate with, along with maps, compass, stars and anything else you want to navigate by. I would not suggest that this retires anything before it so lets not get into that match. What it does do is get you from A to B very nicely. It is like having someone in the seat next to you telling you to turn here or there and get set in the proper lane. It knows your speed, direction, when you stop, start or get off on the wrong path. I have used it extensively in the car and truck. Of course, when used with the truck it allows input of all the necessary information such as weight, height, width, length, pulling one or multiple trailers, HazMat, etc. Based upon those inputs, it is designed to keep you off of roads that you shouldn't be on. I have been using it about a week with the truck and it has not steered me wrong yet. Most certainly, the biggest benefit is when you are in unfamiliar places, it may be dark or busy, and you need something to help you safely navigate that last bit of territory. Well folks, it is worth its weight in gold in that respect. In a car it is just a hassle to get lost or off on the wrong road. In a big truck, it can be a disaster. A ticket or wreck would buy this device several times over when it is said and done. I will always be in favor of anything that reduces our workload in that truck so that we can concentrate on what is around us. This unit fits that bill very nicely and accomplish other tasks as well such as, finding points of interest, restaraunts, banks, atms, etc. It seems to do what it was designed to do very well and I can highly recommend it.

All truckers should own a Garmin 465T

Comment:
My wife bought me my first Garmin 4 years ago because I drive truck for a living. The only thing I didn't like about it was it didn't take in account truck routes. I would find it trying to send me on routes a truck couldn't travel on and I had to back track alot. My wife blogged and asked if there was a truck route Garmin and there was so now I have the 465T and I LOVE IT! No complaints yet. And bluetooth is great.Garmin nuvi 465/465T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Truck GPS Navigator

Very Nice GPS for Trucks

Comment:
I'm a local driver that operates within a 200 air-mile radius of my home terminal. I find myself going to shippers and receivers i've never been to on a daily basis. I bought this GPS to save me 15-20 minutes each trip trying to find directions.
The iPhone is very helpful in finding directions with the exception of truck routes, and the occasional loss of signal; The Qualcomm is less than helpful with directions like "turn north on This Street" or "Its by a thing that is somewhere near there"
With the GPS I've used it now for several days, and admittedly it DID direct me down a 10ton weight limit road, it was in fact MY FAULT. 2 major mistakes i made with this GPS: 1) first time i used it, i found directions online, wrote them down, and took them with me. got near my destination, gps said 'go left' i said 'my directions say right.. dumb thing is wrong already' .... it wasn't. i was wrong.. don't doubt the accuracy of it. 2) the directions it gave me to get to a certain customer, i thought for sure i knew a 'quicker way' so i attempted to go down that way instead and hope it re-routes me.... it did, it re-routed me BACK to the original route it wanted me to take... that i should have listened to. thus i got myself in a bit of a pickle. luckily i didn't get caught and it worked out well.
Since then i have been trusting it to get me where i need to go, no questions asked and it has done a fantastic job! The traffic receiver is a great help because it tells me when theres traffic ahead (9/10 times) and/or you can see all the traffic tieups along your route and choose to "avoid" them if you desire. It informs you of how long a delay you may face, and adjusts your ETA accordingly.
Another neat feature is the Speed Limit icon. That i have noticed is 100% accurate. It informs you of the speed limit of the road your on, even when it changes as soon as you pass the new sign, the icon changes to show you the new speed limit. great for those long roads with little sign-age.
Even if you know where you are going i recommend just leaving it on, seeing what roads are around you, and traffic warnings. It has some, not all, steep down-grade warnings that uses an alert tone to inform you its coming up; if you click on the icon (at a safe moment) it will tell you how far ahead and what % it is. Same for Narrow Roads and Sharp Turns. However this database needs to be updated. Probably a WIP (Work-In-Progress)
Construction, Ramp, and Road closures do seem to be quite up-to-date; several areas that have road closures due to long term construction, it clearly shows you a "do-not-enter" symbol along with a red-highlight on that road informing you you cannot use it, AND it automatically routes you to the detour that the signs direct you to go.
Daylight or Nighttime i can see the screen very clearly, and even in the old rickety Volvo i can hear her voice clear, provided i don't have the radio blasting and the CB way up. a comfortable level on all 3 work perfect.
The only real Con i see to this is: custom routing. I would like to see an update much like Google Maps has where i can drag the route or change the route easily. Right now to do that i would need to "add destination" and choose an intersection say "Rt28 & Rt8" to get it to guide me the way i'd prefer to go. Although i find that if you know most of the route, wait until a convenient time to "set destination" and have it route you from where you are once you are close to the desired location.
So in conclusion; I highly recommend this for professional drivers who need a co-pilot or navigation aide. Keep in mind however it is NOT perfect; it does NOT know every single sharp turn, steep downgrade, narrow road, weight limit or low bridge warning in the world. NOONE DOES. So do not jump into this thinking its flawless. Remember YOU are the driver, and it is your responsibility to pay attention to posted warnings and not rely solely on the GPS to tell you what to do.

Regret Purchase!!!

Comment:
This unit was purchased from Amazon and filled by J&R. First of all the purchase and delivery went fine, BUT since 2/2010 have had to have 2 relacements and now the 3rd unit has died. J&R asked asked for a review, but when it was negative they didn't post it on their website. I have no problems with the features or functionality of the device, I have another 2yr old Garmin I keep having to go back to. What you need to look out for is if unit says something like "cannot calulate route" or "no roads from starting point" it is about to become useless or die altogether with a white flash, then GARMIN on screen, then flash again over and over.
This is really strange that I have 3 units with basically the same problems and not mentioned that much online. I can't be that unlucky. I believe the entire model has problems and am going to try to get my money back from Garmin, because I am tired of throwing good money after bad on shipping and insurance plus the hassle of updating, reentering information, & etc.
