i have a nuvi 265wt an was hoping there is a way to put truck settings on --or just a way to exclude parkways -- i drive a van but have commercial plates --
The older Garmin units had a truck preference setting, but a number of people said it was pretty useless. In the current lineup, I think you need the Nuvi 465t if you want to avoid roads which aren't suited for trucks.
actually the old garmin truck setting was perfect it excluded parkways (which is ALL i need) i drive chevy express van (the same van they do conversions on) so my weight and height are not an issue --my only issue is i have commercial plates so i must exclude the parkways --and thanks for the advice on buying the 465 But i have already bought and own a 265wt --iDONT need any other truck related parameters they will not do anything for me /// JUST need to EXCLUDE parkways /////the old 330c was perfect but all of them cannot read the old mapping and parameters in the truck setting --i guess a few trucks followed their GPS without using common sense --so they nixed the old parameters

Sorry, just trying to help. The bottom line is that there isn't any way to do what you want on the 265wt. As you have probably learned already, it's been "dumbed down". You can contact Garmin support but I don't think it will help much unfortunately.
