Garmin nüvi 1450 Automotive Mountable

NIce GPS! and easy to use.

The Garmin Nuvi 1450 5" GPS is pretty easy to use. First off, you need to go to the Garmin website and download the "Garmin Express" update site and "update" all the maps. Then you need to purchase a little extra memory chip in order to handle all of the maps it is capible of loading. I had owned one exactly like this a few years ago but it broke. So, knowing how this 1450 worked was what made me like it. This 1450 will give you unlimited map updates for as long as you own it. Really a nice little GPS system. AND the Traffic car charger is a nice option. Will warn you of any traffic problems ahead and change your route if necessary.Read full review

just what we needed as an "extra" gps

Very acceptable price for a used model. All screens and read-outs were in Chinese, which we had to convert. I needed it to accept an existing sd card for travel in Europe. Using it now, and all works fine except the unit occasionally turns itself off in the middle of use, and I have to start it up again. Not the latest Garmin software, but good enough for our purposes.Read full review

BIG 5" screen + Lifetime maps + Traffic Alerts - Much better than Smartphone on the road

Love this GPS for ease of use, BIG screen and turn by turn clear voice directions
(Yes you can even pick male or female voice, LOL)
The traffic alerts with the special auto-charger that has built in FM antenna work really well in avoiding traffic delay areas
What is really cool is the Routes feature that allows to plan multi-stop routes, even over multiple days. Last trip to Cancun, we did a multi-day "archaelogical sights" trip through the Yucatan - Cancun to Chichen Itza to Merida (overnite) to Campeche (overnite) to Coba to Tulum to Playa del Carmen.
Not only was I able to plan the entire route on the GPS in the comfort of my home before the trip (connected the GPS to home power source with USB cable), but even hotels and food joints. Saved a lot of time.

Only feature I miss on this unit is Hands-Free/Bluetooth. The 1490 in the model family comes with that feature. The extras I recommend are a USB cable, a wall charger plug and a protective case.

Maps for Mexico, Europe, Australia, etc are available on microSD cards on eBay which are Plug-and-Play (you just insert the mapcard in the slot on the side of the GPS)

Do yourself a favor - use your smartphone for walking directions BUT use a nice GPS in your car (the portable ones like the nuvi 1450 are great for vacation travel in Rental cars).

Even though discontinued, they are reasonably priced Used models are available on eBay, some even come bundled with International maps and extras like Protective cases and USB cablesRead full review

I'm from Canada,the one I had was also a Nuvi 1450 but it had both Canada and USA maps. This one only has USA, so I have to upgrade the maps, otherwise, it is working well.

Garmin NUVI

While updating maps on my old 1450 the old NUVI turned to junk. (thru no fault of my own) I find out it's a common problem. I ordered a replacement and it works perfectly. Very pleased.

Garmin 1450 GPS

This is an easy GPS to set up and use. Reliable and operates very well. Have used it several times now and has not let me down or let me get lost. Go to the location easily and if you leave the actual route the GPS recalculates and gets you back to where you should be or sets up a new route. I recommend this Garmin GPS to anyone looking for a reliable unit.Read full review

Junk

This unit is so old that you can't update it at all, uses metric measurements, most of the features advertised don't work, waste of money.

Garmin nuvi 1460

The product was easy to register following the Garmin website directions. I bought the unit to use in Costa Rica as my TomTom did not have a functioning map for Costa Rica. The US update software downloaded without problems. The product works differently than TomTom so it will take a while for me to get use to. It seems like a wonderful product with a 5" screen which is easy to read.Read full review
