    If it doesn’t do truck routing nearly good enough to be relied upon, then why would you spend that much money? It’s basically a car GPS enhanced with a few truck specific features, and even those are pretty lousy from what I can gather.

    I think mine is the 210W, bought it for $189. I've played with the demo 465 at the Pilot and noticed it had an awsome NTTS directory and the upcoming directional arrows were more detailed. I'll prolly get one when the price drops, but 499.99 or whatever and change doesn't appeal to me.

    I have a Garmin nuvii! It works absolutely great! I use common sense though, and only use it for general information...not as a "blind leading the blind" tool.

    I have Garmin Mobile PC on my laptop. Pretty much the same - use it as a tool, not as blind faith.
    Wanna play a couple online games that are absolutely free? These are the games I play on a very regular basis:

    I saw an ad that OOIDA has a $60 off coupon for the Garmin.
