Does it give you the option of choosing from multiple routes or does it only show you the route it says is fastest?

You will have the option of choosing several types of routes. You can set it up the way that is best for you.

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

Yes it gives you many options. So far it has asked did I want to avoid tolls and recently it had one for traffic so you can avoid it.

After route is planned, you can click on "details" then " browse as text " and you will receive turn by turn directions. You also have 4 other options. I hope this helps you.

Ok thanks. I thought mine was broken since I set its preferences to Avoid U-Turns and it was still telling me to "make a U-turn". For some reason it does not have oneway street info for at least two cities here in Oregon with populations over 12000.

You can choose shortest, fastest, and a compromise between the two. Most importantly, you can tell it to avoid interstates and/or toll roads altogether.

It only shows you what road you are on when it is NOT navigating to a destination you put in. When you are navigating to a destination the unit is "working" and shows you what it thinks you NEED and that is the NEXT turn and NOT the street you are on. This makes perfect sense. If you are in an area you don't know you don't need the road you are on but rather the road you turn on next and the distance to this road and turn. After all, it already gave you the road you are on when you turned on it. If it just said, "turn on Elm St." then you are on Elm St. :) Make sense?

Yes, it does. It has about four ways to choose, one of them is "fastest" which uses main highways.

Yes, but it may not offer you every single possible route. I usually get 2-3 options and it compares the mileage and arrival times for those options.

I live out in "the Hamptons" of Long Island and don't see the "detour option" often. I do remember seeing the warning three times, all visual displays but ignored them, and only once took the option which I guess worked(I got home), I recall that once you took the option the cues were visual and verbal.

No. It does not show the speed limit. It does show how fast you are going. I was kind of disappointed that it did not show the speed limit as my last Garmin did.

Does the 1450 have the option of setting up multiple routes at one time? Which other Garmin has this optionThanks

I've only used mine once and that was going to jax to pick up my wife.i was impressed told me where to turn, even told me when I was going too fast. I knew where I was going and when I didn't follow the route it would reroute. I went the way I was use to going and it rerouted . So I can't wait using it when I pull the camper.the voice was clear , hope that helps.

Yes, it will recalculate and give you the shortest route to your designated location if you miss a turn or choose to take another route. It will adjust based on your gps location.

It allows you to avoid unpaved roads and toll roads in the settings. Additionally it says "this route has tolls" for routes with tolls. I've never gone on an unpaved road so not sure if it warns for those or not.

it does it automatically and even shows you the route on a map. it's great!

No. It's only good for free lifetime map updates. You'll have to get the next one up that gives you traffic updates.

Yes it does. I didn't know it had this feature and was pleasantly surprised to automatically get notices of traffic delays and "faster route" displays on the Garmin. I really like the Garmin, but it doesn't give much audible notice of upcoming left and right turns until it is too late to safely make lane changes.
