GARMIN NUVI 465T WIDESCREEN TRUCK NAVIGATOR W/TRAFFIC (35297) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)PROS:
1) It notifies me 5 miles in advance of upcoming weigh stations, (although from time to time, I come upon a weigh station that the Garmin doesn't know about).
2) Notifies of high winds, sharp turns, steep grades and narrowing roads ahead.
3) Most of the time it will find the address you program into it and get you within a mile of the correct address.
4) All in all, it gets me to where I need to go 80% of the time.
CONS:
1) This is the third Garmin 465T I have had in 3 months. The first one quit on me 3 days after I bought it, the second one quit working after 2 weeks.
2) Sometimes it routes me down roads that are restricted to truck traffic.
3) If I miss my turn, sometimes it tends to get me back on coursen by taking the long way. Once in Pennsylvania, it wanted me to go 10 miles down the PA Turnpike and then turn around, simply because I made a wrong turn. I ignored the Garmin's suggested route and found a quick turnaround on the overpass directly ahead and was back on track in less than 5 minutes.
4) When re-routing, it seems to prefer right turns to get back on route, and up in the Northeastern US, where the roads are narrow, with lots of acute-angle, button-hook turns, that's not good.
5) From time to time, the speaking function doesn't work.
6) The volume doesn't go very high and it's difficult to hear the voice prompts.
