#garmin_nuvi_1450 At xmas 2011 we replaced our old garmin with a nuvi 1450 with lifetime maps and traffic. We loved the old unit but the new one is very poor. In the nine months we've had it there have been multiple problems every time we've used it. It doesn't recognize addresses, roads, and intersections even though they've been there for years, even decades when both Google and Mapquest will. On our trips to Chicago it passes up two direct limited access highways and tries to take us onto one that was built in the thirties, takes us out of our way, and is definitely not limited access. There are times when I'm in an area that I know when it wants me to turn right when I should turn left. These are just a few of the problems. I've contacted support three times. The first two times I got a robo-response that didn't address the problems. The last time they just ignored me. I've seen only a few references to these problems in reviews. I couldn't recommend this product to anyone.
