How Long Should It Take To Update My Garmin Nuvi`1450 With The Latest Map?

I started the process six hours ago and it still seems to be running with no end in sight.  Is this normal?

Can I assume you're uploading via a USB cable?  I don't think there is any other way to update.  The last time I updated my Garmin it took around 10 minutes.  It should take no longer than 5 to 15 minutes.  Any longer than that indicates a transfer failure.

Note that if the firmware is being updated as well you may turn the GPS into a brick.  Garmin has instructions on their support web site to recover from that.  http://www.garmin.com/us/support

I would cancel it, even if you have to rip the cord out.  Power the GPS down, then try again.

I am glad I did not follow the advice of the guy who told you to just rip out the cord. Be patient. I updated my nuvi 1450 yesterday, and went to bed 8 hours into the process. It was 61% complete at that point. When I got up this morning it was finished. No brick. Ridiculously long, but it worked.
