'The service operates on AT&T's EDGE network and is free for the first two years of ownership, after which users can elect to pay a $5 per month subscription or use the Nuvi without the connection.'
'Very slim enclosure'
'The prices seemed accurate in my sampling, but you can't search for the cheapest fuel price other than by scrolling through the list.'
'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.'
'an integral part of any GPS navigators performance is adequate in the Nuvi 1450, with Points of Interest (POI) available along your chosen route, 2-D or 3-D map views depending on preference and custom POI upload all assisting to make traveling simpler.'
'A lifetime Suna traffic messaging subscription is included and this allows the 1450T to display traffic incidents, like planned roadworks, special events, jams and accidents, either via a coloured overlay on a black-and-white version of the normal map, as an easily digestible list or as a series of possible delays on your route. '
'The nuvi 1450T is surprisingly thin considering the 5in display, and the compact window mount means it's easy to clip on and off the windshield (this is particularly handy if you use your GPS in more than one vehicle).'
'Navigation instructions
,
Street name announcement.'
'Garmin has given its interface a mild update, for a slightly cleaner appearance.'
'Bluetooth Compatibility.'
'Lane guidance is available for most multi-lane roads and there's full-screen junction view graphics, complete with real-world photos, for motorway exits.'
'FM traffic doesn't work without the power cord and cradle, slightly limiting vehicle-to-vehicle portability..'
'Build quality is good, with no hardware buttons on the Garmin nüvi 765T's slim casing save for a power/lock slider.'
'Good value'
'I became so fond of using the car's speaker system instead of the nuvi's internal speaker for hands-free calling, mp3 playback, and navigation prompts, that I ended up working around the poor FM transmitter and using a cassette adapter (one that's designed for use with mp3 players) instead, plugging the cassette adapter into the car's tape player and the other end into the headphone jack on the nuvi.'
'It measures 4.9 inches wide by 3.1 inches high by 0.7 inch deep and weighs 6.2 ounces for easy portability between vehicles.'
'I was quite impressed when I asked the nuvi to “Find nearest Vietnamese restaurant,” (a sub-category that doesn’t exist) and it came back with a list of the nearest Asian restaurants.'
