hi PIetu!

i believe the nüvi® 755T would be a good choice for me!

it's got Junction view too!!

what do you think about that model?

thx

it is good choice...

pietu wrote:it is good choice...

actually i think that the nüvi® 1450 suits me best because it has;

- Lane Guidance
- Junction View
- 5.0" diag display
- costs ~50$ less than the nüvi® 755T

and i really dont need Bluetooth, MP3 or FM Transmitter so....
would the nüvi® 1450 really be the best choice 4 me?

thx

all the best for you if the device characteristics which are sufficient for your own use

when you buy new device it come latest map, so you not need hack it maybe 1 year

Superb!!!
Thx!!!

now im just thorn between the 775T or the 1450T

Main difference in the two is that the 775T has BT, MP3, FM Tansmitter & a 4,3" screen
and the 1450T misses all of those but has a 5" screen!!

You have to decide between entertainment and usefulness , all that functions like mp3, fm transm you have in your car , maybe just functions like BT is advantage of 775t model, but most of newer radio in cars have BT support and you can pair your phone over radio...

On another side with 1450 you'll get bigger screen size 5" instead small 4.3" , this is dificult to suggest you, it's independent from person to person, and everbody of us has diferent preferences...

Cause here we don't know specification of garmin gps devices, like CPU, RAM, etc. cause garmin is closed platform (based on linux), to make better comparasion, for me these thing are more important, but when we talk about some additional features like entertainment, then we spoke abou diferent preferences

Think what you like more entertainment or usefullness...

Good luck with buying

p.s.
For me better choice is some of chinese pnas 5" where you can add more gps softwares and gps maps, i own 5" chinese pna, and i have 4 gps softwares on it, video support, mp3 support, BT support, fm transm, support, and it's much cheaper than garmin 775 or 1450 think about this, quality is great, i can give you link where you can to buy, shiping is free !

Generally i don't like branded gps devices, cause they are so expensive, but don't offer something special in comparation with chinese pnas on market... And branded device like tt and garmin are so closed platforms, not so much possibilty for modifications!

Normally that you have to search with attention for good chinese pna, i found one very good, and i'm satisfied with it.

Here you can find 2 good reviews about 775t and 1450 models...
