Thread: Garmin Montana 6xx Discussion

Just acquired the Montana 650 last week and aside from the crashes related to the POI alert (which was fixed by the Sept. 2 update), the only problem now was the crashes when browsing the Photos for navigation. It only happened twice but I fear that this was the same problem I have encountered on my Oregon 550.

Overall, I am satisfied with the performance. The huge screen is a blessing! and I don't mind the weight either. I hope Garmin will make accessories (especially hard case) for the Montana and not just some over sized and recycled case meant for their old units.

I can't recommend this GPS, it should rugged and made for hard use.
Firts day on my KTM handlebar and it went broke. It was in it's own bracket and with vibration.
Battery connectors went broke in 60km ride on the road, don't even think about the enduro.
I'm vey disapointed of this model...

sorry to hear your 600 went bust so quick...

well... I'm using the Montana 600 on my KTM handlebar with the Garmin bracket and some rubber vibrating absorbent blocks mounted to it... working ok so far...

But.. yes.. the Montana is complaining that it can't find the right Garmin battery.. during the high frequencies vibration I guess... the battery is way to sloppy in it's compartment..
