    I guess I will be the second to report I like the Garmin Nuvi 465T. I purchased mine about a month ago and use it every day. I had the Garmin Nuvi 660 before, in fact two of them. Right now I am running both side by side. There are few differences in the routing between the two. Are they perfect, no, they are just one additional tool available. They fill in gaps that exist in MCRA, qualcomm directions, phone directions and verbal direction from other drivers.

    I just got my Garmin this week 465T

    Is there any way to increase the notification distance for scales? At this point its only 4-5 miles. this is a bit short if I need to get off a exit ramp

    Thanks

    No, there's no option for that.

    I've been using the skeleton hand but poke around and see what it uses for the icon file and you can probably make it use anything you want.
