I took the plung and got the 765T from Costco.
I spent a week looking and researching was going to buy a 465T. But being as I no longer operate a Semi why spend the bucks. Also most of the ones sold at Amazon or almost every online are refurbished why waste the money.

I have the Nuvi 765T I believe, don't find anything wrong with it other than I need to replace the charging connector. But, mine works really well though IMHO better tahn tomtom too though it isn't perfect.

These threads come up once in awhile (for good reasons too ) however while I usually and rarely have no problems I still fear when a GPS gives me wrong directions and I get into a major bind so I wished these things would be more accurate in that respect; I understand that companies change or streets change or there is a detour, etc those things are unavoidable but updated maps can help (at least once a year).

I ordered one yesterday morning so I guess there will be two of us doing a "product review".

I spent a lot of time reading about all the Nuvi's and everyone of them had something wrong with it. I think the operator might have something to do with it, we shall see.

I have the 465T, and when you put it in truck mode, it does a nice job of letting you know that there is a low something or other up ahead.
When you put it in Auto mode, it does not give you that same information. Now with that being said, in the truck mode, it will not let you track to a campground, and it only wants to put you on the main roads, as a trucker would use. To me it was a waste of my money. While I do like the unit, I have to have it in the auto mode, or else it may not let me on the roads to where the campgrounds are.

the 765T does have an FM transmitter, I tried it and while it works good it doesn't last long enough because the idea is to use it on an unused FM station where there is static, if there is no static it will not work.

That being said, when you are en-route unused stations in one place may be used another place 80 miles away and you have to hunt for another unused station.

It would be nice if you could setup another FM radio that can/would receive signals from the 765T without interruption and not have to change the stations.
