Pros:
Big, bright with more useful info on the map screen than my old 250W. I haven't had a chance to try the traffic features yet. Can't believe how many points of interest are contained in this little box.

Cons:
If I took a different route than recommended, recalculation time seemed a bit long. Took about 5 hours to download maps.

I like this device and the price is right. About time Garmin gave free map updates.

Have been very satisfied...have had it for about a month now. Seems to serve it's intended purpose pretty well.

Pros:
Large, bright screen Rapid route calculation and recalculation Long battery life Good windshield mount

Cons:
Control over route/road selection not as flexible as in my old Streetpilot 2610. I would very much like to see the minor, medium and major road sliders (like--dislike) to be re-implemented in newer units

Overall a very good unit - lifetime maps are very welcome. Just wish it had the features that are in my very old StreetPilot 2610.

Comment about Garmin 1450LMT Automobile Portable GPS Navigator
We just used it for a 1800 mile trip, and it got us there and back with no problems. One time I thought I was lost, but it took some back roads (which we loved) right to the spot. We did get off track one time, but that was me thinking I was smarter than the Garmin. I wasn't. It got me back on track. The only problem I had with it was twice it tried to take me on dirt roads. I had set it to NO DIRT ROADS. Guess it forgot. I would recommend the Garmin 1450LMT. I always map my routes on the computer as a backup, but didn't need it. The complaints about the advertising on the traffic feature didn't bother me a bit. As usual PC Nation got it delivered right on time. Great service.

I have had sometimes where it takes a while for the GPS to locate a satellite. Not sure what that's about.

I have not been on a trip yet, but plan one in a couple of weeks. Am eager to use it . Then in June, I plan a 5000 mile road trip, so it will get a lot of use.

Cons:
When I make a U turn that was not programed it gets stuck on the arrow sight and I can't get rid of it. I have to shut it off and start again. I believe there is something wrong with it. If it keeps on doing it I'll have to send it back
