Garmin nüvi 465/465T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Truck GPS Navigator

I drive a truck in 48 states and this thing never loses signal not sure 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 keep showing me on map screen without me ever knowing it lost signal in a tunnel. I have used other gps brands and they all are terrible. Even though this is not perfect it is still the best brand of gps's on market. Screen size is ok for me even when i'm sitting way back 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 way when merging all over the place you know ahead of time what you need 2 do. on a garmin push top left to get a pic of next turn and push top center to get a list of written directions on what it wants you 2 do... more >>

The 465T is not quite there yet. It feels like a car gps with a couple truck features thrown in. PROS: Nice Display w/auto night/day. Free Lifetime traffic. Categorize your favorites. Excellent signal reception. Multiple vehicle profiles. Bluetooth speakerphone. Multistop routing. CONS: Favorites limited 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 quickly on its own though). No way to filter out car only points of interest. Can not rely on its route to be legal. (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 use 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 reliable and not nearly... more >>

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 just 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 awful - he said even with the window closed, you couldn't hear the thing at ALL. So you had to watch the screen 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 put him on highways that were not ideal, and there's no way to tell it NOT to use that road. - When using the dash mount, the GPS signal was not great. It worked fine in my car, but in my uncle's truck the dash was apparently too far from the window to see 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... more >>
