Garmin nuvi 1450 LMT Portable GPS Navigation System with 5" Touch Screen product details page

I bought garmin nuvi 1450 last year and now it stopped working. It suddenly popped a warning saying it needed to be updated and after updating it and all, it won't work. Do not buy this! Save your money and buy another GPS navigator.

While at Target, I saw this unit on an end aisle and decided to give it a try, and there began my love affair with this gps, and for so many reason. First, set-up was a breeze. The screen is large and very responsive to touch. The directions are accurate and assist me in avoiding traffic jams. And, if it is impossible to avoid a traffic jam, it alerts me as to how much of a delay is ahead. Best purchase I have made in a while.

I am so glad that I bought this! It helped me get around a huge accident going to work the other day. I am also a little directionally challenged sometimes, so it is nice to have. Simple instructions and very accurate.

Absolutely love my new Garmin! Had to replace the old one when I was robbed on Christmas Eve, but am very happy with my new model. Best upgrade is the announcement of the street name I am turning onto! Love the traffic alert too! Another great feature is the speed limit posting...there have been many times that I just missed the speed limit and low and behold, there sits a cop running radar. If I'm over the limit it shows in red! Even though I wasn't ready to buy a new GPS, I'm extremely h appy with this purchase. One tip, allow plenty of time for first download, took about 3 hours, but worth the wait.

My Garmin 1450 LMT worked fine for the first 6 months. Then we went to Florida and when we came home it kept thinking we were at the beach. Couldn't find anything in Colorado for days. Then finally it started working but always took a LONG time (about an hour) to acquire any satellites. Someone suggested I update my maps. Went on line to do that today. Took me through the whole process that took about 30 minutes and then told me there was an error and try again. Unfortunately, it seems to have fried the Garmin. It won't turn on at all. Tried charging it, but nothing. Won't buy again!

I have only had this GPS about a month but it is doing all that I expected. I replaced a TOM-TOM unit with tthis one and I think it works better.

The large screen is great, the new "pre-view" of the shape of your exit and the warnings about left-side exits is really great.But the lifetime subscription to Traffic and Maps ... Makes the deal.TotallyDon't even bother buying a GPS without that. The traffic alerts told me to get off the highway, at an unusual exit. I resisted. It guided me again, a couple exits later, and I relented. It turned out, there had been a huge accident, and all lanes of the highway were closed ahead. The G armin with Traffic, probably saved me hours of being stuck in that backup from That mess.Downside, you still can't tell a Garmin GPS that you want to take a different route, I'd really like that one..but on the other hand, if you're doing a bunch of errands (or garage sales) you can put them all in, and This model, will figure out your best route to do them all!

I purchased the 1450 LMT mainly because of the free map and traffic updates. My other navigation device manufacturer wanted about half the price of the new Garmin just for map updates! I am a professional truck driver and I use my Garmin most every day. I've had it about 3 weeks now and the only complaint I have is the very limited selection of voices available installed in the unit. They also sound very computer-generated, as compared to my other navigation device. That's a very mild complaint and the only one I have. Target's price was the best I've found and the service was top-shelf. Call me another satisfied Target customer.
