Hey Loren....Already had the Nuvi 750 and heard your previous posts about
the uploading of new updates and the loss of certain prirmitive routes due
to updates erasing them.  I just bought the Garmin 1450LMT so I do not have
to pay for map updates, but....in Galaveston, TX...the GPS was wrong 5
times!!! I emailed them and they gave me a fix(which I have not tried yet).
The new garmins require you download all updates and maps B4 you use
them(not pre-loaded) but then why is it wrong the next day.  I will be
updating per thier instructions, but would like to hear more about your FIX
before I do it.  LMK...If you nee to, my number is 210-482-0000 CST.  Would
love to meet yousometime.  Michael.
