Rookie needs help

Former Member

I am new to Garmin and this forum. I just received my first GPS, a nuvi 1450 LMT. I have skimmed through the online manual, but need guidance on how to get started.
How long do I charge it initially?
How do I do a backup? How often?
Any other advice on things I need to know and/or do will be appreciated.
Thank you.

    I sure that I would not be able to answer all your questions but can help with your questions about charging the gps. I got the Nuvi 255W. Out of the box it had almost a full charge. What I do is when I'm driving and have the gps with me, I always keep it hooked up to the car charger. This will ensure that you always have a full battery.
