Afternoon all,
The power button on my Garmin Montana (3 years old!) has disintegrated......and for some reason at precisely the same time the birds eye maps all turned blue - no topography nothing (not rectified by a reboot unfortunately! I think the sun and sand finally got to it! hahaha!
So - I need a new GPS and Christmas is coming!...
Would like to stay with Garmin - does anyone have any suggestions? TIA

Re: Montana Power Button Crisis!
The newest Garmin Montana is the 680, which takes all the same accessories and mounts as the 600 (useful), as well as the same software. It doesn't have a better screen, unfortunately, but it does have the new ability to use Russian GPS satellites as well as the American sats, which gives you a better position fix faster. It also has a better camera..um, yeah.
It is currently hard to find locally in the UAE, but I found it on Desertcart, which is where I bought it. Please be aware that there are two versions, one that has built in topo maps of the US (labled the "T" version, and useless to most of us) and one that is slightly cheaper without. https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1879 ... ontana-680

In the sand, there is truth.
