I'm using this Nuvi 1450LMT anywhere we go because it's very reliable even in Canada. The only thing you need to watch when buying this Nuvi 1450LMT is, when you intend to use this outside the U.S. Make it sure you have the Nuvi 1450LMT that include outside the U.S. maps 'cuz not all Nuvi 1450 LMT includes outside the U.S. maps.

I had the same GPS that I brought in 2011. It was very good. But the one I just purchased has some problems. First, it doesn't take charge using its own charger. I had to buy Garmin GPS USB Port Charge & Power Cable With Mini USB Plug NO PC Sync Problem at $19.99 from Ebay too. It takes some charge now, but discharges quickly.

I have three 1450LMT units...they perform extremely well and are much easier to see and read than the brand new ones...bought the latest one at Sam's Club the other week...very hard to see in sunlight and the numbers (and some images) were much smaller than the 1450LMT, therefore very hard to read...so after 1 week I returned it.

I bought this to replace my TomTom since it was going to cost me $75 for a year of map up dates and I could buy this one with lifetime updates for less than $150. I have had it a little more than a month, and I miss my Tom Tom. Both have frustrating things about them, but the Tom Tom was easier to use. The Garmin has a bigger screen, but the Tom Tom had more information on the screen and it was easier to see the upcoming turns. The Garmin screen does have more options for customization, but doesn't allow me to put all the info on it that the Tom Tom does. The Tom Tom has you select the state you are looking for the city in, while the Garmin makes you look through a list of cites in different states until you find the one you want. All in all after having some time To get used to the Garmin, I would choose the Tom Tom if I had it to do over again. Unfortunately, I gave the Tom Tom to my daughter. By the way, there is no advantage to the traffic alerts that I can see so far. Going through Nashville recently, it never warned me about a major interstate closure or helped me get through it.Read full review
Unlike the very expensive in-dash GPS unit in my car, the Garmin maps can be updated free for life, it monitors current traffic conditions to adjust routing, it shows me the posted speed limit, and its user interface is much more "friendly". I already had this model Garmin in my other car. So this purchase was to get an identical GPS, and to use it instead of the in-dash unit. That gives us the same great user interface for both of our vehicles.
