Bought one of these Sat-Nav thingjits for truck use - and today I took it out in a truck…
Saved the old “favourites” from my 200W and uploaded them to the 465T.
It allows you to set up multiple “Profiles” - but, as I was only planning to drive one truck - I just set one up.
It can be set to CAR or TRUCK mode - so I set it to truck mode.
Good points - It knows about low bridges, tight bends, weak bridges (half the villages in Wales are called Pont Wan). - The routing is as good, or perhaps a little better as the 200W and avoids stupid narrow lanes. and it comes with a free traffic data receiver - god alone knows if this actually works but it might.
The new display fields are an improvement on the selection on my 200W.
Bad Points:-
It knows diddley squat about speed limits - bimbling along a two lane blacktop A road it happily announced that the speed limit was 60, once I found a bit of dual carriageway - it said 70.
The Phone/Bluetooth thing is more than a bit flakey - the phone rang and I had to re-boot the sat-nav.
Things that make you go “Hmmmmm”:-
It does street names - it even tries to do welsh street names
The tiny wee man trapped inside sounds as though he is going (slowly) mad - but perhaps if he didn’t need to do welsh placenames, he’d be fine.
