I am watching your videos and they are helping a lot. My question is, Can you use the maps that are on the SD card while out in the field without having to connect to the computer and transferring from the card to the unit itself?
Great extremely helpful videos, glad I found your channel! I’m looking to get a Montana 700, don’t need the 700i as I have an inReach mini I mount to myself when I ride my adventure bike. My question is can the Montana 700 connect to an audio source so I can get turn by turn directions in my helmet on long stretches of pavement if I buy city navigator. I tested the 700i and it could do that but not sure if the basic 700 can. Thank you for the help!!
Hi Great Video! It’s Help me a lot I Have the 700 use it on my Snowmobile and Hiking! Know I know How to use the Map sets! My Maps on my 700 are the Topo Canada V4, Openmapcrest, Ibycus V4 (still like it) and which I love updates each month taken from OpenStreetMap thanks to your help getting Labrador trails/paths and skidoo trails markup. Called Talky toaster map British guy have been updating maps for year well worth the money each year. I have NL and Quebec update each month. Two Question I have all there on a map set which one would overrides them all. Plus I have a hard time seeing the path found a way around it! I make a GPX file to an IMG file. I love it, but I Have a few IMG files on they SD card in the GPS, but only one will show up on the Montana? I have only found one software that works it is (Jarawa IMGFromGPX 2, 5) There is not much on CZcams about make a GPX file into a IMG file I am sure it would be a great help love o see a video on it in the future lol Thanks again Dave from Labrador City!
This is archaic technology! Wow, garmin is a dead company walking. SpaceX is making cell phone connectivity global, and Google already has WAY better maps than Garmin. That said, I thank you for your video.
No idea what you are talking about. Global cellphone technology has been around for decades. Google maps is mediocre at best. If you’re going to state a web based map service at least say Bing. As for Garmin… absolute go to for global use. Using your mobile phone for doing GPS stuff is sketch. Also the ability to tap in to GLONASS and Galileo is an amazing feature that almost all Garmin units allow and few mobile devices do.
@thexchox1554 I should clarify. SpaceX is making cell phone connectivity global, without the need for cell phone towers. Low earth orbit satellites will provide that cell phone coverage ... everywhere. As far as maps and Garmin, my main complaint is the Garmin graphical user interface (GUI) seems archaic to use compared to others, like Google or Bing. I'm no expert with topographical maps, nor do I hike, where you might need that level of detail. Garmin provides that, and might eventually remain as a niche service provider.

hmm good question, I might have to check. Something tells me you might have just audible beeps.
Ahh I was hoping that it would connect and give me turn by turn directions like the 700i, bummer if not!! Thank you for responding, great channel!!
