So Glad I Got This One!, November 27, 2010 By Santa’s M☾☽n Elf
…My review is going to be geared to those who have owned previous Garmin units, and perhaps have several year old models. I have had a Street Pilot c550 and a 205W. I was never happy with either the screen brightness or the volume on the Street Pilot. When I bought the 205W it was a new model and promised a very bright screen and loud directions – it had neither. Still, I used it until about two months ago, when for no reason it suddenly dumped all my saved destinations. Swell. I figured it was time for a new unit, and I wanted Lane Assist and Junction View. Was originally going to buy another unit that has the feature where it will help you get back to your parked car, but that unit isn’t going to be available for an unknown period of time, so I settled on the 1450lmt. I didn’t care so much about the traffic, but I definitely wanted lifetime maps. So – excellent Amazon service with delivery, amazingly fast. Right out of the box, it picked up a signal in my apartment – wow. Downloaded an updated map and it only took about 45 mins. total, no problems. Tried it out today. Screen is beautifully bright – I don’t actually need it on 100%. The voice is LOUD and clear, and again, I don’t need it full volume. Those two things alone totally delighted me. It is ready to navigate almost instantly when I turn it on, including in my carport, where my previous model never got a signal. It has very accurate and exhaustive small local POIs, which again impressed me, as the 205W still showed places that hadn’t existed for 5 years, and that was when it and the maps were new. The junction view/lane assist is easily visible and will be invaluable in unfamiliar areas. I haven’t actually seen the traffic alerts in use, but I have cruised the screens and checked the scans, and it seems as if it will be helpful. I know it can’t be perfect, but I’m sure it’ll be better than not having it at all. I’ve also had fun downloading different vehicles and voices. I just might be tempted to pay for Spongebob (most of the voices are free). SO happy I didn’t buy the unit I was originally intending to buy, and got this one instead with its great 5-inch screen. It’s a vast improvement on my 3 year old previous model. Garmin’s really started getting it right!
