It comes preloaded with detailed City Navigator NT street maps, nearly 6 million points of interest (POIs), 2-D or 3-D maps and the speed limit for most major roads.


Its digital elevation maps show you shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving you a big picture of the surrounding terrain.

My research paid off...I'm thrilled!!
 
Review Date: April 17, 2010
Reviewer: KyOTGal,
Over the past 10 months I had spent WAY too many hours reading reviews on GPS systems. Something would look like the best thing since sliced bread, then there would be reviews that the tech support was a nightmare, maps were outdated, etc. I liked the bigger size and the way this looked (the Interchange graphics especially)and was going out of state in February, so I had to make a decision. At the time, there were only a few reviews. On the day I prepared to order this Garmin 1450 there was negative review. I thought "Oh, great...", but ordered it anyway, totally overwhelmed & frustrated with the whole endeavor. It has truly been a delight. My husband has had a low-tech Garmin for years & I never liked it. My son has a Tom-Tom, friends have Magellans, etc. We found restaurants, every location we needed, all effortlessly. I was afraid to do the review immediately, for fear it would die in the future, so I have waited 3 months. All is good! The only negative thing I might include is we did need to "reboot" twice on hot days when it was on the dash - I assume because it got hot. The reboot takes only a few seconds & it never happened when I left it sitting on its Friction Mount on the gearshift mound (out of the sun). I am truly quite pleased & grateful that I haven't had problems. I hope whatever you select turns out to be such a successful experience!
For the money, this is sweet!

Wonderful GPS. I have owned $600 Lowrance units and $200 Tom Tom's. But for the money, this 1450 Garmin is wonderful. The support online for updating the unit and adding some custom touches to the gps are really nice. BUT there are only two items that I don't like about this gps. First, is the "lane viewer" or what ever they call it sucks. (The feature that shows a picture of the signs that you will be seeing) I travel 6 states for business and drive through major cities; Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Cinci, Indianapolis, etc... I had it only show me the picture of the signs that show what lane to be in twice after visiting all these cities. This was a bonus feature for me, not a selling point. That's why I didn't have it affect the way I rated it. Second, is when trying to find a hotel or gas station, it shows them surrounding you. That is great, but I wish there was an option to see what is on the way to your destination. I want to see what is in front of me, not behind. This just makes it harder and longer to find what you are looking for. So once again, not a huge problem for me. Now, if you care about bluetooth or voice navagation, I don't so can't give you a review on that. I mute mine and just glance at it from time to time. But what I can tell you is the ease of finding your destination, the continued updating online, the fact you can rate a hotel or destination, the size of the screen, easy to use, and how you can add a destination or correct a current destination, are things I love about the 1450 Garmin. Great price and very happy with it. I recommend this product!
I'm Impressed

I finally found a worthy replacement to my aging Garmin Nuvi 660 (2006).

A year ago I bought a Nuvi 755T (2008), but did not like it as well as my Nuvi 660, so I gave it to a friend and continued to use my Nuvi 660 instead.

With the introduction of the Nuvi 1450, I'm now totally satisfied to say goodbye to the Nuvi 660. The larger screen size and ease-of-use of the Nuvi 1450, in my opinion, is a significant improvement over my Nuvi 660 & 755T.
GOOD VALUE

Reviewer: Johnny V, California
Though it is not top of the line as features go, with these units priced under $200, I would consider this unit a very good value.

We have used it for the Bay Area and Sacramento of Northern California and have not had any issues with regard to accuracy or reliability. The large screen is a major upgrade from the older models. The lane change feature with the arrows is also helpful. All other features are good. We have not encountered any problems and are happy with this purchase.
Wow what an upgrade

I spent a lot of time researching and going back and forth trying to find the best navigation in this price range - I'm happy to say I found it. This navigation is such as a huge upgrade over my Tom-Tom in just about every way. The screen layout is smart, and the features are fantastic. I don't have a need for blue-tooth, and while traffic sounds nice, there are just too many bad reviews on every navigation system with traffic that it's just not worth it. A nice large screen, fantastic features, and just a very smart design overall makes this the perfect navigation for me and I am extremely happy with my choice!
