Where To? During navigation,
you can search for places by pressing "Menu", then "Where To?" You can select an
Address, NTTS (for truck-related POIs), Go Home, Points of Interest, Recently Found, Favorites, Extras, Intersections,
Cities, Browse Map, and Coordinates. You can also access Spell Name for direct
entry of your new destination, or browse the map. You can search for locations
near your present location (default), or select a different city, your current
route, or your destination.
Where Am I? The "Where Am I?" feature gives you instant access to
important information in case of an emergency. When you select "Where Am I?"
from the menu, you get the coordinates (including elevation) of your current
position, plus the nearest address and intersections. There are also buttons to
help you locate the nearest hospitals, police stations, or gas stations. You can also save the location for future reference.
Custom Points of Interest: The
nüvi 465-LMT will accept custom points of interest (POI) databases, available from
various companies on the Internet. Some custom POI databases contain alert
information for points such as safety cameras and school zones, and the unit's proximity alerts can
notify you as you approach one of these points. To download custom POIs, you
will need the Garmin POI Loader software, available on Garmin's website.
Map Orientation: You can select
one of three map orientation displays:
- 2D Track Up:
two-dimensional map that constantly displays the route from top to bottom on
the screen
- 2D North Up:
two-dimensional map that constantly displays North at the top of the screen
- 3D Track Up:
three-dimensional map that constantly displays the route from top to bottom
on the screen
Vehicle Icons: The default on-screen icon representing your
vehicle depends upon the operating mode. When you're in the truck mode your on-screen icon is a tractor trailer. In the automobile mode, it is a blue sports car. In the menu, you can select other
vehicle icons, or you can choose from dozens of downloadable vehicle icons from the "Garmin Garage" website.
Route Preferences: When
calculating a route, you can select the following preferences: faster time,
shorter distance, or off road.
Avoidances: You can program the unit
to avoid certain things that may be undesirable on your route. Examples of
things that can be avoided include U-Turns, Highways, Toll
Roads, Traffic, Carpool Lanes, Unpaved Roads, and Ferries.
Waypoints: You can manually
mark and name any map position as a waypoint for later recall. Up to 1000
waypoints can be saved into memory.
Indoor Use:
When indoors, you can activate the built-in simulator and practice using the
unit. This turns off the GPS receiver so it's not searching for satellites.
World Clock: The world
clock allows you to display the current time for four locations throughout
the world. You can also display a map of the world showing which portions
are in daylight and which are in darkness.
Unit Converter:
You
can convert area, distance, speed, temperature, volume, and
weight.
Calculator: The calculator
allows you to perform simple arithmetic.
Garmin Lock: Garmin Lock is an
anti-theft feature. You can set a 4-digit PIN and a security location (such as
your home or office). Every time the nüvi 465-LMT is powered on, you must enter the
PIN, or drive to your security location.
Traffic Information
FM Traffic: The nüvi 465-LMT can receive traffic information
broadcast over the FM Radio Data System (RDS), when connected to the supplied
Garmin GTM 25 FM TMC (Traffic Message Channel) receiver. When you are in a coverage
area, the traffic delays are rated by severity with color-coded icons. If you
encounter severe traffic along your route, the unit will automatically
recalculate the route for you to avoid traffic delays.
Picture Viewer
Picture Viewer: The nüvi 465-LMT can display photo images (JPEG files).
The image files must be stored on
