    Got a replacement GARMIN NUVI 1450 a few weeks ago after the first one crapped out and now this one now has the same problem in less than 30 days.

    It too has blanked out, and gone to a completely white screen with a "push button" script and a dot placed on a crosshairs. When you push the button it beeps and moves to a new location on the screen......and as much as you push it, it never clears itself. Apparently it is some sort of self calibration feature, and you'd think that it should reset itself eventually after 5-10 button pushes, but it does not......it just goes on beeping and moving around the screen forever.

    Nothing in their online owners manual has the answer for what has happened. The damn thing is rather vague actually. I have tried everything, downloading updates, etc, etc......

    Help ??

    There has been a rash of problems with Garmin unit were the screen doesn't go beyond the gamin logo
    display.

    Sorry to hear about your problem. Can't offer any solution.

    I actually like Garmin and have been using their products without any problem but hearing this kind of
    stuff makes me think twice about Garmin.
