Garmin Montana 700i, Rugged GPS Handheld with Built-in inReach Satellite Technology, Glove-Friendly 5 Color Touchscreen
- The user manual is adequate but you have to go looking for certain items, such as profiles and phone notifications. Not much data on these in the manual or internet. Otherwise the GPSr is great. Good accuracy, battery life is adequate for day trips and I got the AA battery pack as a backup and you can charge with the battery bank USB setup. Would purchase again.
- I bought the Montana 700i almost a year ago. My purpose was to have high quality maps loaded which do not depend on cell data access, given that sometimes I might be 80 miles from a place where I could make a phone call, much less get data. Given that I am sometimes very remote, I wanted the InReach technology so I could call for help, and keep in touch with my family. I use the 700i when driving (in conjunction with a Garmin Nuvi, which works better for that) and also for daily walks and hiking. This GPS can be used as a driving GPS (with voice) just like Garmin\'s driving GPSs if one purchases the associated suction cup mount (with integrated AMPS plate) but the routing calculations are slow, the screen is a bit small, and major intersection signs are not show as the dedicated driving GPSs do.Unfortunately, the Montana started having issues with going black, locking up, or needing to be restarted. At first I though that it was something I was doing (battery, cable, charger, etc), but the problem kept getting worse. So two weeks before the 1 year warranty expired, I requested a replacement unit and so now I have a new one.Important things to know about the 700i is that it is heavy, and the maps require downloading huge files (e.g. 5GB for one map) which can take quite a long time unless your Internet connection is very fast. The downloads seem to time out (especially on the popular maps) so it is necessary to restart them manually and nurse them along until they are done. For me it took over a day to download all of the maps for the GPS. The Garmin Express app used to update the maps has always been poorly implemented and it lies about what it is doing and what has gone wrong.I would complain about Garmin\'s support, but my recent support experiences have been very good as if they totally revamped their support department, whereas they were very poor a year ago.
- Love the unit however 32Gigs of memory on a card? My iPhone has 500G internal they should update this to at least 128Gigs or higher on a micro SD card.
- I love the idea of having something and never really being lost. I like to hike and I have a crap sense of direction. So this thing is pretty great just for having an option to find my way back easily. My only complaint is that the emergency texting and services are locked behind a pretty steep paywall, especially given the high price of the unit.
- Big screen, a bit hard to use, could really use better graphics, given todays google earth quality on a computer. Needs higher resolution. Hasn\'t changed much after many older models other then getting a bigger screen. Pricey as well.
- Bought as a set. Wrong handlebar mount and wrong screen protector received. Bad first impression. Love the Garmin itself, and a better review will occur if this gets resolved. For now.. 3 stars.
- This GPS was received in a used condition and missing parts. The GPS cable was missing. The factory thin plastic cellophane on the screen was missing and the battery pack was scratched. I returned it and ordered a new one. Hopefully the next one will be unused and contain all of the parts
- Easy to use
