NUVI465T WORKS WELL
We use our Nuvi465T in our motorhome. Works great. Updates from Garmin take some time on the internet, but they work well. I would recommend this unit to RVers as well as truckers.
Pros: tracks low bridges and tunnels etc
Cons: none so far
Recommend: YES

EXCELLENT PRODUCT
The 465T has been outstanding for me as a new person in the industry.it takes the pressure of trying to get around so you can drive instead of looking at maps.
Pros: blue tooth works well
Cons: no fm transmitter needs it
Recommend: YES

NUV1465
I purchased one by mail.I used it for about 50k and tehn registered it.After I registered it the screen froze and no matter what garmin suggested I do it has stayed frozen. I de-registered it and tried re=registering but now the computer can't find the device and garmin won't issue a repair notice without registering so I'm left with no alternative but to return it to the dealer.I was hopeing to use it with my RV travelling south starting DEc.1 so Iquess I'll be using my old streetpilot 530.
Pros: none
Cons: hard to set up!
Recommend: NO

NUVI 465T
I have only used it for 9500 KM so far and have found it to be pretty good overall.The GPS let's you know about upcoming traffic congestion and weigh scales, which is helpful. The lane assist for upcoming turns is nice and the unit is easy to follow.
Pros: all the above.
Cons: voice volume, says some roads aren't truck routes.
Recommend: YES

NOT QUITE THE ONE YET.
Better than no gps, but this thing would have put me into a 12'5" bridge in Endicott, NY if I had not known better. Also showed me on the next street over in Manhattan, NY. Seems like it needs external antenna.

NUVI 465T
like the product very much, had to go downtown Montreal and it got me in and out of there no problem, never met any low structures or realy tight turn. Went to the states with it to work like a charm. I like also the traffic up date very useful and the lane assistance. One thing I find wierd is in Canada going down I401 and other highway the not a truck route sign is on ???
Pros: really easy to use
Recommend: YES

SEEMS TO BE MISSING A FEW THINGS.
I want to state up front that I have not used the 465t yet so I am not here to put it down in any way. I came here looking for reviews to read. But I have been eagerly awaiting it's release and recently found out some details that make me less excited about getting one. 1. My 765t plays mp3 music and audio books. I now know that the 465t does not. 2. My 765t is not really loud enough to use the built in speaker in a loud truck. I work around this using the audio out jack patched into my stereo aux in. I have heard from someone who does already own a 465t that it is not loud enough for truck use. And I have read in the specifications that it does not have an audio out jack or FM transmitter. Did they even try this in an actual truck before releasing it? 3. I do not always drive the same truck. With my 765t I simply pop it off the windshield and stick it on the glass in the next truck. The 465t is dash mounted meaning you're expected to glue on a plastic disc and stick it to that. What happens if you change trucks frequently as I do? Again, how could they not think of that? I'm sure there are ways to work around this but I prefer using a windshield mount. Based on the one person I have talked to who has actually used the device, the truck routing seems to work well. He hasn't logged many miles with the device so it's a little soon to tell. I am sure that the added data required to make it a truck routing device was expensive to acquire and incorporate into the device. I believe they decided to leave out a few bells and whistles to keep the cost down to make it more affordable on it's initial release. But many of the things they left out I use everyday and I'm not sure I can live without them. I wish they would come out with a truck routing version of the 7200 with all it's bells and whistles left intact. I would pay whatever price they asked for that device. And how about a truck version of Garmin Mobile PC for the laptop?
Pros: relatively inexpensive. truck routing.
Cons: no mp3,audible,audio out,not loud, no ws mount.
Recommend: YES
