The Garmin nuvi 1450 is an automotive GPS receiver with 5 inch touchscreen display and 480 x 272 resolution. This is the same screen found in the nuvi 1490T, although it doesn’t have bluetooth or live traffic updates like that model. City Navigator NT street maps come preloaded as well as close to 6 million POIs (points of interest), 10 savable routes, choice of 2-D or 3-D maps, and, the digital elevation maps display shaded contours at higher zoom levels, giving a bigger picture of the surrounding terrain. The ability to download cityXplorer content for cities throughout North America and Europe and an electronic breadcrumb trail of up to 10,000 points to keep track of where you've been are two key features. Turn-by-turn directions are given by voice prompt right down to the street names, which combined with the touchscreen access make it more hands free which lets you focus on the road. Other Garmin standards are included like Hotfix satellite prediction, Garmin Lock and Where Am I? emergency locator. Also included is ecoRoute route predicting software, JPEG picture viewer, world clock, currency and measurement converter, calculator and a microSD card slot for adding more maps.

Pros
- Easy to use, good user interface. Soft buttons on screens improves user experience over many other stereos.
- Great iPod features for compressed sound restoration, and on the fly shuffle by artist or album.
- Detachable face very handy for planning trips with GPS and Navigation outside car.
Cons
- Software is Windows only and feels gimmicky, it lacks utility.
- Comes with limited number of Navigation" points of interest". 400 thousand rather than the 12 million available for other AVIC systems. Restaurants have been completely omitted. The POI's can be upgraded for $100.00 which degrades it's status as a bargain.
- Defaults to Navigation view (or mode) every time you start car. Would be nice if it remember the mode it was left in.
