 |
|
 Garmin have launched the nuvi 465T in the US (Europe coming soon).
A satnav designed for truckers, the 465T features a comprehensive database of road weights and bridge heights across the lower 48 states.
It also comes with custom profiles that allow you to to tailor routes to suit the vehicle you are driving and the weight it is carrying.
Other truck centric features include a BreakDown Directory from NTTS and trucker specific POIs. Pre-loaded maps cover the US, Canada and Puerto Rico and the 465T features Test-To_Speech, Lane Assist and an FM Traffic Receiver.
With a custom profile input the route will be calculated allowing for specific height, length, width, weight and hazardous material restrictions. Also features is multi-stop routing functionality and Bluetooth Hands-Free.
UK truck drivers will be pleased to hear that an EU version is coming later this year although currently Garmin list that model as having UK truck data only.

At last they have a HGV sat nav  Navteq have had the info for a long time 
It's a pity it comes when we all have no money to buy it (credit crunch)
and when I've got the lifetime map updates for my 710 (none transfreable) 
I'll wait 5 years to see them get rid to any bugs it has and when the price comes down to been adfordable

Last time I checked, Navteq still had large parts of the UK unmapped for HGV specific data.

| Why have a separate unit when they could have it in an existing unit like the 8 series as its only software, or am I missing something. |

No, this unit looks like it's the 760/765 shell so no reason why it couldn't be done as an upgrade but they'll naturally want to sell the whole unit. Maybe it comes with a 24v charger?
At the end of the day its simpler to offer a truck specific unit than it is to offer an upgrade to an existing model which would cost more when the original purchase an the updated software/maps are taken into account?
