My question is this:

If I update the firmware to the latest version will the unlocked maps I have still work on the device or will I have to get them and unlock them all again?

thanks for any help

No problem with correctly unlocked maps you have in Montana.

Thanks Catymag, it worked as you said it would.

Does the latest gimgunlock work with all Montana models? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. A friend wants one of my older Mapsource .img files to use on it.

Hi,

Yes, of course.
Montana firmware is not protected for Map Signature like new devices'one and even previous gimgunlock version without MapSigPatch should work.

In the Montana both versions work. I have a Montana and have installed maps recently with both versions of gimgunlock and it works with the two.

This firmware 6.50 runs on my Montana without (additional) issues.
No Problem with maps, and the JNX FirmwarePatcher v. 330 also works.

Since the problem I had with the map CityNavigator NTU that I wrote here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] I did a test with the Greek map Autodrive Hellas Latin (NT) version. I found that in this map too I can search roads in Greek characters, don't matter that on Montana screen map display Latin characters

What is going on with Montana? Don't matter what kind of characters any map have, we can search in our language?????

I did a lot of tests with my Montana 650 (firmware v6.50)

Well finally I saw that Montana don't find addresses of an English map, searching with greek characters.... I saw that when i search anything (address or poi) Montana give me results from ALL maps I have, even and from these that are disabled (1st problem!!!)

I have store maps only into SD card.

- CityNavigator Europe 2016.10 NTU (Unicode)
- AutodriveHellas v4.10 (map with Greek characters)
- TopodriveHellas v2014.B (map with Greek characters)

Of cource I have only one map enable every time, not alla of them!

When I am at CityNavigator NTU, and need to search an address (of cource with Greek characters) Montana cannot find anything. I must change language to English to search address...(2nd problem!!!) With searching cities, all good, I can search them with greek characters....

Lets talk about problems:

I've done Master reset and remove all other maps, but problem (2) just go on. Montana find addresses only in English language...

Now, lets talk about (1)... When I have into SD, City NTU and the other Greek maps, and want to enable only Autodrive, when i search an address (of cource in Greek language) into that Greek map, I cannot search "to all cities", I must choose a city first, to find the address.... If I choose to search "in all cities" and turn language to English, Montana find addresses because it searching from NTU..... If I use CityNavigator 2016.10 NT (non unicode version), I don't have that problem

I think that Montana has 2 problems that must solve:
1. When i search anything (address or poi) Montana give me results from ALL maps I have, even and from these that are disabled

2. It is not compatible with CityNavigator NTU (unicode)

Just updated my Montana 600 via webupdater, 3 minutes than it was finished.
When I rebooted my Montana, it first said "validating update", loaded it from 0 to 100% then "loading software"
Once started, everything looked fine, but no GPS!

After 10 minutes, it found the GPS, such as it was a cold start, and after a re-calibration of the compass, everything was fine.

My unlocked maps are still usable.

So, don't hesitate and go for it! ;-)
