Yes - Unlike the big fat line that Garmin uses in a route, tracks, which we use most of the time when out riding in fringe areas, is much harder to see. As mentioned, I was able to increase the line width on the Garmin 595LM from it's default scale size of 1 up to 3, which is better, but not great.

The default field on the 595' KTMF file is:-
<STYLE field = "MAP_TRK_CLR" scale="3.0" border="0.2" > <---here "3.0" is the maximum, and putting 6 has the same effect as 3.

But for the Montana, it doesn't use KTMF files, and the only track references in the GPF file are these:-
<TrackLog>1</TrackLog>
<TrackLogZoom>0</TrackLogZoom>
<TrackRecordMethod>2</TrackRecordMethod>
<TrackInterval>25.000000</TrackInterval>

and these don't look very hopeful in determining track width.

I must look into the possibility that Montana's rely upon TYP files for these kind of settings. Trust a Montana to be different to everything else, as it is in so many other ways.
