I have a Nuvi 660 whose speaker fail and so I need a new GPS . after research on Amazon review , I decide that the 1450 be a good choice , and much cheaper than my prior model . I be delighted to find that I could copy my address book to the new device and so I do not lose\/have-to-reenter all of my address . I absolutely love the larger screen !! ... and the louder voice !!! I have not attempt to turn on the traffic info , as we travel be mostly interstate , and the review give poor rating to this aspect . I absolutely love the way it display numerous lane and tell I , visually , which lane to be in !! my son want a gp and I recommend this model to he and he , too , have be very happy with it .
