Machine constantly tells you to go the wrong way. You must have a general idea of where you need to go. Traffic warnings are the best feature. For a trucker GPS you would think it would give you location of weight stations.

When comparing this to a less expensive older GPS model (not truck specific), I found the new one lacking. There were ‘no-truck’ routes that were not announced, there are conflicting times and miles… the older GPS being more accurate. Maybe I need to get used to the new, more expensive to know if it is really worth all the money.

This is my second Garmin purchase. I like being able to switch between my 5th Wheel/Truck combination and the car. It does a good job of routing you in the appropriate way depending on the length,height,and weight of your vehicle. I wish they would drop the price a little on this Garmin but as there does not seem to be any competition out there for this application they kind of got ya. I can not compare this GPS unit with another brand as Garmin has been the only one I have ever used. It is a very well made product and based on my experience with the first one I purchased this brand again. Other people have commented about the time involved updating the maps for a Garmin Gps and I wish they would come up with a better way of doing it. I also think with the price you pay for one of these that lifetime map updates should be part of the deal.

Driving a motor coach with weight/height/road restrictions, I needed a GPS that covered all of those options. Currently have a Garmin NUVI 755 and, although an excellent unit, does not cover restricted roads and offers no choices for inputting weight and size of your vehicle. After reading about truck GPS units, decided on the Garmin 465T. Wrong…….!!!
If I never owned a Garmin before, I would not have noticed the differences. The 755 has MP3 capabilities and a headphone jack (both making for more pleasant driving. No-one hears my directions or my music). The 465T has neither. The 755 has substantial heft to it. The 465T is make of plastic and weighs less than half of the 755.
But the primary drawback to the 465T is its inability to route you around restricted roads. For instance, the 755 will route you through Storrow Drive in Boston even though Storrow drive is restricted to cars only (Height limit 9′). The main reason I bought the 465T was to avoid situations like that, but the way the 465T avoids them is, when it calculates the route, flashes a screen that says Storrow Drive is restricted to trucks. Period. It doesn’t route you around it. It just gives you the choice of canceling the route or accepting it. It also gave me no indication of a problem when it routed from New Bedford, MA to Newport, RI, even though a bridge on the route has an 18 ton, 2 axle limit (It has had for years, and the latest map in installed). Same was the case for routing from Providence to Boston, even though another bridge on 95North with an 19 ton, 2 axle limit (along with a posted $3000 fine for crossing it) is on the route.
Not feeling comfortable with what your GPS is telling you does not make for a confident driver.
As far as I’m concerned, this is a total waste of money. It looks like Garmin is heading in the right direction, and trying to break into the trucking GPS market, but this product just doesn’t make the grade (no pun intended).
Another minor (but irritating) problem is the voices. The 755 voices are crystal clear, and although the same voices are available for download, they sound garbled and are not clear at all.

My wife bought me a Garmin nuvi 765 June 09, loved it but it died. We went back to Best Buy and they were out of stock on the 765 so decided on nuvi 465 since we have a motor home. I am disappointed in the 465, going to take back. It does not have all the features and ease of use as the 765. The best example is display of miles to on the screen all the time. We loved the count down of miles to, or could switch to time, which is all the 465 displays constant. The truck feature is fair, not for serious truckers or Rvers.It is easy to switch form auto to truck.
