Garmin nuvi 1450 T lmt 5 touch screen portable GPS ( Global Positioning System )
The Garmin nuvi 1450T meets the 1490Tpro tested here, but will be without the built-in Bluetooth hands-free and premium TMC services.
The most striking feature of the nuvi 1450T is certainly to be 5.0 inches (12.7 cm) touch screen.
As with Garmin maps provides a complete map of Europe, according to the manufacturer includes 41 countries of Western and Eastern Europe. The map data comes from Navteq, as always, and can even be updated by the user free of charge via nuMaps 60 days after the initial operation. Installed in addition, as with all current Garmin devices, the Basemap, a world map that includes the main cities and roads.
The navigation software from Garmin has all the essential functions: lane assistance, 3D junction view on highways, street signs and realistic speech with spoken street and place names. The 1450T also calculates inner-city pedestrian routes. With pay-CityXplorer additional cards can then calculate routes even consider the S-Bahn trains, subways, streetcars and bus lines of public transport.
With the help of Triplog function logs the nuvi 1450T actually request all distances covered. These can then be evaluated again on Google. The nuvi 1450T also supports auto-route with up to 200-points. On request it can automatically arrange the objectives in regard to a possible total shortest route.
Supplied with a car mount for attaching to the windscreen, an adhesive disk for dashboard and a charger for cars and trucks with built-in TMC receiver.
The selling price of the Garmin nuvi 1450T is surprisingly inexpensive: A 1490Tpro (with Bluetooth handsfree and TMC Pro) is obtained on the Internet now for just under € 200. With built-in DVB-T receiver, the nuvi 1490TV model currently costs € 270. TomTom One XL cost of comparable equipment as the 1450T to the 180 € and Central Europe maps around 170 €.
