To update
SOURCE: Is there any free map updates for the garmin nuvi?
Asmany as there are FREE dinners Updates are not free, unless you paid full price for it when you bought it. Free upgrades are a deceptive myth. If you get a free uograde its usually minor and was included in the price of the pack.
SOURCE: I have a Garmin Nuvi
I had the same issue on my 1450 except it just would not power on anymore, even with a full charge. A soft reset will preserve your Home, Favorites, POis, etc. Leave the battery in the unit. Hold down on the lower right of the screen while holding down on the power button. After 20-30 seconds, you should see the Garmin splash screen. Have your PC/laptop ready with USB cable. Get the latest Map update downloaded and installed or just start using the unit again.
SOURCE: garmin nuvi 1450 will not
You should be able to resolve the issue by resetting your unit. The 1450 is reset by pressing and holding the Power button for about 20 seconds. Your unit should then start up like it normally would.
If the reset does not resolve the issue then you may either have a dead battery or an electronic issue. You can check if the issue is the battery by plugging your unit into your computer using the USB cable that was supplied with your unit. The Garmin is programmed to automatically draw power and recharge it's battery when it is plugged into a unit with the USB cord. You can try the reset option again while you are attached to the computer. If you are still unable to get the unit to come on then you will have to take the unit into a Garmin authorized repair center. They will be able to test your battery and let you know if it needs to be replaced. Then can also tell you if the issue is internal to the unit, and what it will cost you to repair the unit.
SOURCE: Yes, whats the difference between fast route &
This is real simple, fast route on all GPS,S including yours simply means fatest route by time to get there based on best roads and speed limits. Shortest route might be shorter in miles per say, but not always the fastest, because it will take you threw neighborhoods or back roads , school zones etc.... So, most the time you will and should use fastest route as it is best time, fuel economy and safest. Please if this has helped you, then respond with 4 thumbs up and a small positive testamony.

SOURCE: garmin nuvi 1450 cannot turn
Have
you tried pressing and holding the power button for about 8 to 10
seconds? It should go on then off. Then wait a few seconds the turn it
on normally. This usually resets the unit.
If this does not work try a hard reset.
Press and hold (and continue to hold) the
bottom-right corner of the screen while powering the unit on.
Continue to hold the screen until the "Do you
want to erase all user data?" prompt appears.
Press "yes" and the unit will reboot. This resets
all your location settings and user preferences.
If
possible after the hard reset, let the unit sit outdoors in the open
for about 30 minutes or so to let the unit re-acquire the satellite data.
Once it gets going update your gps at the Garmin site.
Thanks for using FixYa
