Garmin Nuvi 465 release date June 10/09

Dear OTR driver, here is a review of the new just realest Nuvi 465 for Trucking only.
Here my review,

i bought the nuvi on or around June 10. this GPS is a total failure. i m a OTR driver and tested this 465 for about a month over the road: not all weight station listed or miles off, driving on 79/76 PA on the wrong side of the road,guiding you 50 to a 120 miles longer to your destination, instead of saying 3 says 9 instead, crashes at least once a day,guides you trough weight restricted streets once your are in your are in, the only good is the NTTS listing which helped me twice so far, but i could have bought me the book or downloaded the software which would have been cheaper overall. This peace of $%&# is not worse the money and if i would not had my second GPS Unit (which is not a trucking unit) i would be still driving long miles instead of good miles as garmin promise on that Nuvi 465.
i told the Drivers i met what kind of peace that Unit is, so that they don't have to spend the money as i did.this will be the last time i will buy me a garmin

I have owned 2 Garmin GPS. The nuvi 205 and now currently have the street pilot 7200. I wouldnt trade for anything. It very rarely gives me any problems. I was thinking about getting the 465 but I guess I'll wiat till they get the bugs out. I think garmin has about the best product out there.
