how do you know what files can be deleted from Garmin 1450? how do you know what files can be deleted from Garmin 1450 to save some memory?

Actually, I think the Garmoin 1450 only supports 4GB microSD cards. If you plug in a 8 GB or larger card, it may not work.

I do not know why Garmin expects the average user to know what files can be deleted and how to do it. If you have a Windows machine, you can do what I describe below. First of all, try to use a computer that does not have Garmin Lifetime Updater installed because it would probably try to initiate an update when you connect the unit to the computer. 1) Using the USB cable that came with the unit (or any other USB cable that fits the connection point on the unit) connect the unit to any USB port on the computer 2) Click Start - Computer (depending on which Windows you have it may say My Computer) 3) in the window that pops up find Garmin and double click on it 4) Double click on the Help folder; several subfolders of different languages will come up 5) Delete those folders whose language you feel are not needed 6) Click on the back arrow to get back to where all the main folders on the unit are shown (this is what came up after you did Step 3) 7) Do steps #4 and 5 on the Voice folder. You could also trim the Text and Keyboard folders in a similar manner, although the file names are abbreviated and you have to decipher which language each is. I did trim a lot of files, but I still needed to insert a memory card. I think claiming free lifetime map update is false advertising if you have to add, at your own cost, hardware to the unit to be able to download the update.

If you don't know, spend $10 (on Amazon or Staples) for a micro SD Card (4-8 GB). With a micro SD card, you can download the "big" Junction View file that will show a lot of exits that have overhead "Green" direction signs.One of the forum describes the Junction View file, but new instructions are needed for the last Map (2013.10) as of 04/2013.

Yes, this works in the 1450 LMT model Garmin. I own this model Garmin and bought this card to expand storage. Works great.

You may have to do a hard reset. This sometimes occurs when downloading firmware and maps. One of the joys with Garmin. To do a hard reset, place your finger on the lower right screen and power up the unit (and answer yes to the question). This will delete any addresses you have stored, so it's a good idea to back up first.Since you may be new to Garmin, take a look at the following discussion in the Garmin Nuvi Community forum here on Amazon:Garmin Nuvi "basic" FAQ (for new users) as of 02/26/09.This will give you several tips on these units.

Here is how to do it. SELECT "Favorites" SELECT the "address" The map will open. Look for the little box in the center of the map next to the thumb tack with the address in it. Touch the box with the address, and the "delete" button will appear on the left side of the screen. Hit the "delete" button and the favorite will disappear from the list. It took me a while to find this. I have several Garmin units and they don't work the same way as this one.

Here is a question you may know the answer to. I have been looking for a phone number for Garmin. We don't know who makes it, how to get a extended warranty, or if there even is a warranty. How good can a product be if the manufacturer won't even speak to us about their product. Whose pockets are we filling anyway? Will they, whoever they are back up their product?? Help, anyone! We bought 4 of these as gifts. Thanks. Dismayed!!!!

You need to purchase a Mini SD card. You can get them under $20 depending on size.I really don't understand why Garmin did not provide enough space for a standard load with the initial purchase.

I'm copying what written on SD card/adaptor case: "City Navigator North America NT (010-11551-00) Preprogrammed Data Card MicroSD Card With Standard SD Adaptor" It is micro SD pre-loaded card with adaptor. It works as a charm. I just put into my Garmen Oregon450 and turned my GPS on. It works great. Now I have a street/road map. Also it appeared on PC as a folder/disk along with Garmin. BTW, somebody on the web warned about writing info into a map folder by mistake what has disabled this folder. After reading I backed the City Navigator on CD before use. Just in the case...

I believe you can find out this answer and any others you may need by going to: http://www.garmin.com/us/support/ - I hope it helps!

Thanks N. Search YouTube for "Wonderland Garmin 405" that is what really peaked my interest.Ok, I was able to find the watch at City Sports. I love it and it finds satellites in about 30 seconds or so.I connected it via Garmin Connect fairly easily (using my Dell D620 Laptop and Windows XP), but I can't find how I can export the GPX files anywhere?

I have contacted Garmin and they tell me the same in regards to the 4 gig card compatibility: the newest software upgrade will make any garmin 60 csx able to use a 4 gig card. Mike O.

I don't know, but I doubt it. I don't think updating fits Garmin's business model for those things - I think they like to sell you a new one.

It transfers data too. Instructions provide the link to download software to your computer, and then from that program you upload your data to your computer - something close to what Garmin provides.

Honestly... I do not know... good question for the Garmin folks... Have you tried the garmin support forums?

Then it has probably died. That is what happened to mine. Garmin wants $80 bucks to analyze . Not worth it!

If you go to the Garmin web site it will provide information. Or you can contact support. They are very helpful.

This is a mini card inside the adapter. The adapter helps you read the mini with a computer or other device that is enabled to read these memory cards. The mini should fit into your 1450 just fine. I will say however that I found a mini card with adapter and card reader on Amazon that works great in my 1490 and it costs less. You might want to try it since it is compatible with the 1450, too. 8GB MicroSD HC Memory Card and Card Reader for Garmin GPS Nuvi 2350 2350LMT 2350LT 2300 2300LM 2250 2250LT 2200 1695 1690 1490 1490LMT 1490T 1450LMT 1450LM 1450T 1450

Yes, you can track where you are going. Push the menu button until you get to the options screen, there is an icon labelled Tracks. Select it and at the top of the tracks menu there is a tracking on/off button, highlight the on option and hit enter. It will record your tracks. When you're done go back into the tracks menu and turn tracking off and SAVE IT, it will save the tracks and give you the option to name it or change the colour of the tracks. If you turn the gps off and restart it in a different location with tracking still on it will snap a line from your last known point to where you reacquired a signal. After you save your tracks you can clear the memory to make room for other tracks, just DON'T DELETE THE SAVED FILE. I've noticed when you save your tracks it will sometimes straighten out your tracks and make it more linear that what was originally recorded, so be careful. I've also used a garmin colorado 400t, the tracks on that are way more detailed, so you may want to consider getting one of those, but it's not as rugged as the 76csx and it's a bit less user friendly. Hope that helps.
