Garmin 1450LMT capabilities? Will it help you find your way back to your car in a parking lot?

This model does work with typed in street addresses? I'm asking because the instructions don't say a word about that. I havent hooked it up yet. Thx

can you turn off traffic ? Seems like the ads would be a distraction as would it talking all the time?

The ads are tiny and don't show when you are moving. I don't recall having seen one lately. Either I am not getting them or I have learned to ignore them.Just push the bracket onto the base in the middle, where it connects.

Can you find a place by inputting latitude and longitude or just by street addresses?RegardsTom

It is just strength. I called Garmin because it did not go in easily and I did not want to break it. They said it is not easy to push in but it will snap in with enough push.

The Garmin 800 does give similar directions to your car GPS...no voice commands but it does give an audible beep to warn you of upcoming turns. A friend who has used the Garmin on his bike for years gave me the tip to set the field in one of the windows "Time To Next" which gives you an idea of the next turn and also avoids turning on a street that may be near the actual turn. Also, remember to keep your eye on the road more than on the Garmin.

I looked up your Garmin and it has traffic capability, so yes this will work with your unit.

It will track your position and your speeds. You can then use Garmin homeport to review it.

Thanks for the input, I actually kept the original Garmin. I realized it couldn't recognize my position re: the street because my house is 1000 ft off the road. I actually like it a lot. It does quirky things like take me to the highway one way and bring me home another even though the streets are not one way. At this point, I'm glad I got it.

Garmin cityXplorer was recommended to me for my daughter (who is disabled and cannot drive so has no car) to use to help her on the Phoenix city bus system. I was told that Garmin handhelds would help her. So apparently all Garmin apps are NOT specific to cars. I'm still researching this in light of the comments about other cities and the cityXplorer software accuracy and helpfulness.

It uses the gps signal for speed and location of your car. You cannot get directions from it.

No, just get it interfaced to your laptop, start your software (Streets & Trips and DeLorme Topo North America both work for me) and it will find you. Even inside the house it found my location. This is much better than the GPS functionality in your cell phone. Well worth the price.

That's about all it is good for, finding your way back. I use mine while hunting new land, to get back to my truck. It great for that. I use a different GPS to mark my traps in the winter.

I am not sure. You may have to direct your question to the folks at Garmin.

I have just played with it locally. It will plan from current location to where ever you want to go. We will be road tripping in our RV in Feb and will give it a side by side test with our older Garmin. ROGER

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back?Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi David, Don't know what cell phones work w/the 275 since we try not to use the cell in the car if possible, at least for the driver. Garmin has a tech support line, though, that is on their web site and they were great in answering questions before we bought it, so try them if no one answers your question. Sorry we couldn't help.

I'm trying to decide & in comparing both models, I DO see more than a Bluetooth difference, if it matters to anyone: The 1490LMT has the lane assist function, but takes it one step further, in that it will show a real view of the lane you need to be in AND it shows all the highway signs that you will see up ahead, with the signs where you need to go Highlighted, and the signs you Don't want, dimmed I do NOT want Bluetooth, but just having gotten lost in Queens NY yesterday, both upon going in AND heading out, this particular feature would have helped greatly, as I just couldn't find my way onto the Triboro Bridge when leaving the area of Queens where I had visited. We have GPS in out new car, but I didn't have access to that car yesterday; all the more reason to put a GPS in the old car, and a 1490LMT is what it'll be!

Yes. It will work while you are in a vehicle on the trails. I have used it to get to GPS locations off of streets in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks, Valdvogel...you gave me just the info I needed. Of course, the first inclination is to purchase an expensive NUVI, but it's good to know that an earlier hand-held works even better! We already have a GPS (Staples brand) that works great for road directions, but it uses wrong coordinates for geo-caching. It's just too difficult to"translate" the coordinates for every cache! Thanks again!

My wife and I were in LA, last Christmas. I packed our Garmin StreetPilot c330 - and I'm so glad I did. We were never lost - we always had a strong satellite signal - I highly recommend this model. It's very reasonable - you can purchase it new for around $170.00.
