In this article you will find some of the most important features and how Garmin has taken technology and made it pratical for all of us to benefit.
No Need To Put On Your Reading Glasses….
Comes with a 5 inch screen. This might not seem like much but when you compare it to the Garmin 1350LMT with a 4.3 screen you can see the difference. This feature comes in handy for my wife. She can see far away but needs glasses for close up. It would not be practical for her to put glasses on everytime she wanted to see the screen. With the bigger screen and bold colors she won’t miss a thing.
Speaks To You…
With voice prompt the Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT speaks to you. It tells the street names and gives you turn by turn directions to your destination. So if your driving along not paying too much attention, in the past you might miss your turn, but now you will be alerted in plenty of time. If for some reason you did miss your turn, it’s almost impossible to get lost with this thing because it recalculates and puts you back on tract within seconds
Finds Signals In Seconds…
When you turn it on it picks up the satellite signals within seconds. That’s nice when your in a unfamiliar area and want to get out fast. I have had other GPS systems that take several minutes to find a signal. You could drive several miles out of your way by the time it corrects. The Garmin will find a signal usally by the time you put your car in gear.
Lifetime map and Traffic alerts…
With so many new roads being added or changed, Lifetime maps keeps you up to date. Update your Garmin 4 times a year. This is a free feature and will cost extra with other GPS systems. Traffic alerts is another free feature that cost extra with other systems. It will alert you of traffic jams ahead so you can chose an alternative route.
No More Confusing Expressways…
Lane Assist shows you which lane to be in (or not to be in) when approaching an intersection. It puts you in the correct lane to avoid having to make a sudden lane changes on a busy road or expressway.
Speed limits and Actual speeds displayed…
This feature alone could pay for your new Garmin GPS. Sometimes when your driving along you might not remember the the posted speed limit on the sign 10 miles back. The Garmin with display your speed and the posted speed limit. If you’re going too fast your speed it will display in RED to warn you.
Tip…Is your screen not responding to your touch. Here’s how to fix it. Turn it off, then with your finger pressing in the top left corner turn it back on. Leave your finger there until you see some black dots, about 20 sec. Then just tap the black dots as they appear on the screen until it saids done. That’s it…now the screen will respond to the pressure of your touch.
Advanced Pedestrian Mode…
This is a nice feature when walking in unfamiliar areas. For example when on vacation and walking around in a shopping district or if you need to get around downtown and have to rely on walking but don’t want to get lost.
Use Buses And Trains, No Problem…
CityXplorer is optional and can be downloaded for a minimal yearly fee. It helps you get around the city transit system. It shows you where to walk to to catch a bus , train, tram or other types of transportation and how long it takes to get there.
Safety Camera…
This is one of my favorite optional features. This will warn you of those red light cameras and speed cameras. Just go to the Garmin website and download the “safety camera” software. It cost $26 a year but can be well worth it if it saves you from one ticket. You also get unlimted updates thoutout the year as new cameras are installed.
These benefits and more make the Garmin Nuvi 1450LMT the best selling Garmins on the market. It is well worth considering for your next GPS.
