Hi first time i've made any type of comment on here but here goes. I have just recently bought a garmin 465t and for those of you who arn't familiar with it, it's the one that does truck navigation aswell as car. I have owned a tomtom 520go for a long time and have little or no bother with it loading poi's low bridges speed cams ect.So when garmin annouced the 465 was available in the uk i went for one wish i hadn't now tho. The main reason for buying was avoiding bridges and the like but to be perfectly honest if you set your tomtom right you'll get notice long before you get there. On the garmin all rout planning is designed around the max speed of a car which is neither use nor ornament to me as i'm driving a truck where as the tomtom i can set for different speeds which givers me a more accurate time of arrival and when you plan a route on the garmin in truck mode it takes you down some wonderful and wierd ways. but as i travel these roads a lot i know i can go down these oppsit roads as they are big and wide enough for my truck. and as for loading poi's don't even go there in my opion it was a complete waste of money stick to a tomtom go and use the limited speed and a bit of common sense.
