Not Ready For Prime Time Yet
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 1000 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 as expensive. If Garmin would fix the map truck data and add a couple of features like navigate via and turning off the car stuff it wouldn't be too bad. But as it stands now you should save your money and wait for something better. This is a very disappointing product. More detail ...
