I have the 1450LMT, same unit just without Bluetooth. It has been the biggest piece of junk Garmin ever made. I have had your problem, locking up in the middle of a route, etc. etc. My original unit was replace, but this one is just as bad. Try a software update, if that doesn't do it a reset will solve the problem, but if it's like mine, only for a short time. Good luck with yours.

I have had a 1450LMT for about two months now with no problems. When I opened it the first thing it told me was there was a software update it needed. Did the problem show up for everyone right away or did it take a while?

Interesting as there are over 2,000 4 and 5 star reviews for this model on amazon and that was one of the reasons I purchased mine.

I have the 1490 and it does the same thing. Connection is not the problem because of the way it reboots when it happens.

My first one worked fine for about 3 months, then it kept freezing when in route. Garmin replaced it and this one crashes about once a month. I have downloaded every update available, nothing has worked. I have to do a complete reset to bring it back to life. I have had two 1450 lemons. I wish the stars on Amazon would take the two junkers I have owned.

I have the 1490LTM and in 7000 miles have zero issues.
The one thing I have done is put the USA map on the SD card. The internal memory is full out of the box. Maybe that is the difference ?
