Default New Garmin 465T For Your Newell

If you Newell doesn't have a built-in navigation system, you might want to be on the lookout for this one.

Garmin has announced the Nuvi 465T designed for truckers. It is supposed to be available 6/10/09. This looks like a good choice for Newells. It allows you to set your length, width, weight and height and displays warning information of upcoming road conditions to alert you to possible hazards along the route such as sharp curves, steep grades and warns of low clearances ahead. You’ll also get lateral wind warnings and notification when the road narrows. It has an integrated FM traffic receiver which allows you to receive free alerts about traffic delays and road construction on your route.

The largest drawback is the 4.3" screen can be a little small in a Newell. I use a Nuvi 880 mounted by the driver's side windshield pillar on the dash and it is OK but a larger screen would be better.

MSRP is $499. 465T
