Wow. Awesome.
Will the 1450 give directions over Bluetooth? From Garmin's site, it doesn't look like it does. Under Specifications, it just says "internal speaker".

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
"Budget" Garmin (or other) GPS recommendations?

I've been using a Garmin 1300t ( I actually own two of these) on the Spyder with the Zip Lock approach like you. Prior to that I was using a Magellan.
Note - Magellan is no longer the same company having been sold a few times... While I used to like their user interface best, the last two Magellan's I had died within a month of getting them and calling Magellan support for a warranty replacement or repair was incredibly painful...So I switched to Garmin... My first 1300 is still going strong with 15k of Spydering on it... I have more issues with the powerlet cables than I do with the GPS.
That said, I am switching to the RAM Aquabox for my August trip... When it starts to rain, I don't want to be focused on getting the zip locks over the devices (phone and GPS) PLUS getting my rain gear on.
Bottom line... You can get a decent GPS for $100 to $150... and even if you have to replace it yearly, it beats the upfront cost of a ZUMO.
