| I cannot begin to express my disappointment in this
unit.I,ve been driving for over 30 years but with all the
new regs out there I thought I'd get this to avoid getting
into truoble for being on the wrong road etc..What a joke!
Through trucks have been banned from travelling through
Atlanta for as long as I can remember but this thing routes
me right through itBattlefield parkway south of Chatanooga
has been no trucks through the park for 10 or 15 yrs.,but
it'll send ya right through. From Ft.Erie Ontario to
Buffalo Ny.(about 5 miles)it will route me through Pt.Huron
Mi.,hundreds of miles off route.When it warns of inspection
station it will alert me even if it's on the other side of
the interstate. Most of the service centres in Ontario come
up as "no trucks allowed" when I enter them.It quite often
wants to take a extra spin around the block to get to a
place too.The sharp curve warnings alerts me of any
curve,so that was a waste that was quickly turned off.I
could go on about it but bottom line is I'm really
disappointed. |      |

| Have not used it fully.so not able to provide proper
feedback.
I have read the below reviews and bit concern now. I had
purchased the product based on advertised expectations. I
drive mostly in Canada. If it doesn't work well for my
routs, I'll be very upset for paying the extra money and
not able to use for my truck routs.. |      |

| Seems to me instead of voicing our opions on here we could
send the corrections to garmin. Nothing wrong with the
units. The maps come from someone else. Nothing is fool
proof. Drive the truck and don't expect the gps to do it
for you. If it could we would not be driving. It is a tool.
Used properly it can be very helpful. |      |

| I am a commercial truck driver & recently traded up from
the 855 to the 465T with the belief that it would perform
better for trucking. All roads off a major hwy pops up
the "observe truck route" warning sign. It doesn't
acknowledge any weight restricted routes - even though it
has an 'input information' for weight & height. I drive
a "hazmat" vehicle with "R" permits for U.S. & used it to
get to a destination in Montreal. Highway 25 in Montreal
has a "no hazmat allowed" tunnel & the 465T mapped me
directly through the tunnel!! Obviously, I had to re-route
to avoid a hefty fine. It will route you right through
roads with "R" permit restrictions. It also doesn't
recognize Hwy 405 to Lewiston N.Y. or the QEW to Buffalo as
a truck route. If you enter a destination to Syracuse N.Y.
from Hamilton,ON, it will give you directions via Kingston,
ON to state hwy I-81 south into New York..."7 hrs out of
your way"! All bridges into the states through Kingston,
Cornwall or Gananoqua are weight & axle limited. The scale
information doesn't work in Canada at all & is hit & miss
in the U.S. at best. I could go on but if I had a 'take-
back' option....I would!! It does work well as a 'car' GPS
but is NOT worth the extra money for truck use. I am very
disappointed with the advertised expectations. I wish I
knew this before wasting the the extra money for nothing. | |
