What's great about it: Size of screen is easy on the eyes for 45+ year olds
What's not so great: Nothing
I have owned many Garmin GPS' and am yet to be disappointed by a single one. The nüvi 1450LMT GPS is no exception. I really love the bread crumb trail that not every GPS has. Very easy to search for places. Great icon options. Super Fast rout calculations. Free lifetime software updates. Life is good!
This product has... Large/easy to see screen, Easy menus, Free map updates, accurate, breadcrumb trail option

Works very well for me.
The 'Advertisements' are just a small tiny box which doesn't interfere with the navigation and so far its been ads for Shell Gas station.
Although they should certainly inform people the 'free traffic' comes with those advertisements and should be a legal issue.
The fact remains is that this product is very good.

What's great about it: Great price, easy to use.
What's not so great: Sometimes a signal delay.
This is my first GPS unit and I have been impressed! I recommend this to anyone in the market for one.
Sometimes it can take a few minutes (3-4) to get a signal (typically no longer than a minute). I have yet to use the business finder more than once, but the one time I did attempt to use it for an elementary school address, it just continued to "search" indefinitely until I gave up and just used my iPhone.
Also, the traffic feature (displaying any delay time) only works while it's plugged into the charger.
Other than that, this unit is awesome!

What's great about it: easy to use, nice big screen
What's not so great: some language choices are not available compared to another model I've owned
The experience with my second Garmin Nuvi is great. The 5 inch screen is a nice upgrade in size from the smaller model I had before. Lane Assist is a awesome feature whether using it on the highway or city streets. The unit performs consistently well. The only change I would make to it, would be to have one more voice setting level below 10%.

This is my third Garmin GPS device and they just keep getting better. I was completely enraptured with it...unfortunately, so were others. It was stolen three weeks after I bought it - boohoo! But I went right back online and bought another one because Garmin Nuvi is the best! I recently discovered that shopping with Best Buy online is a wonderful experience, so give it a try!

What's not so great: Nothing that I know of as yet.
The unit works very well, the sound is very good at all levels, and is understandable. Excellent navigation, as it foretells the correct lane for exits, route changes, etc. The directions and display are very clear, and the unit is a good value for the money. It is also easy to use, and spoken street names are very useful for the turn by turn directions. I would definitely recommend a Garmin.

Overall, a disappointing product. Takes too long to acquire satellites and loading maps. Spoken directions, in some instances, are communicated after a point has been passed.
The Garmin website is also very poor. I tried ordering a case but it was suggessting a 5" case when the product is about 5.3".

What's great about it: has traffic information. small and easy to carry when not in use.
What's not so great: price went down 2 weeks after we bought it
The product is easy to use, very intuitive. I wish it could give route choices on the screen based on distance, tolls, time and then enable me to choose the route I want.

What's great about it: Big display, Ease of Use
What's not so great: Nothing
The Garmin unit is SO-O-O much easier to use than my 6 year old TOM TOM. Now granted, comparing 6 year old technology to new technology is not really fair but the Garmin is great. I think the FREE Lifetime Maps and Traffic updates is a "Must Have" feature. The cost of this unit was only slightly more than other "pay for Updates" GPS models. The spoken street name directions is an outstanding feature. I like the extra big display and easy touch screen zones for the various functions. I plan to use this GPS for a long time.

What's great about it: Garmin customer service
What's not so great: BestBuy poor customer service
1st use it was great. 2nd use after downloading map upgrade, the map was gone, wouldn't work, and when attached to my laptop it only acted as a mass storage unit. Finally got to talk to someone at BestBuy after a few unanswered e-mails. BestBuy said it would be +/- 10 days to get return information to me then I could send it back at my cost and he didn't know when I would get it back. More than 10 days later with nothing from BestBuy, I e-mailed Garmin customer service. Garmin e-mailed the next day to say the map upgrade did sometimes have problems and gave me very helpful step by step information on how to go to the Garmin site and reload the maps. The unit has worked great after I followed the steps from Garmin. Bottom line, happy with Garmin GPS (this is my 2nd one) and thier customer service.

What's great about it: Screen size, brightness, lifetime map update
Having been a Garmin users for over 5 years, I always loved the look and feel of the maps and user interface. It was time for me to get a new one and I definitely wanted a larger screen. The screen of this model is just amazing: it is a lot bigger compared to the 4.3" screen models, and quite bright even under sunlight. I only keep the brightness at 60% and can still see where I am supposed to go while keeping my eyes on the road. That's HUGE! I also find the "lane assist with junction view" feature particularly useful. Another big perk that came with this model is the lifetime map update! I have not updated maps in my previous models because of the additional cost and did got lost a few times. Now I no longer need to worry because the maps get updated a few times a year!

Replaced a stolen, older garmin with this model. I like most of the features, had some difficulty turning the volume down while driving, but love the larger screen. Haven't had a chance to use the traffic updates yet (clear sailing both trips) but hopefully that will be nice as well. Happy to not have to pay for maps ever again!

I like everything about this unit. It's dead on for accuracy. Found an address recently that mt daughters GPS couldn't even find. On initial start up it took several minutes to find a satellite but since then it's not been an issue. The screen is easy to read and spoken directions are clear. Love the feature when it shows multiple lanes and overhead interstate signs. Leaves no doubt which lane you should be in.
