This is the Ferrari of GPS units. More than I could have asked for... checks every single box for me. It's like they truly listened to diehard hikers and just jammed in every feature they wanted. The InReach integration is killer. No brainer purchase.
I recently checked out the XT of a friend and was really disappointed. It still feels like a "take me to an address" GPS, but not something for advanced route planning. No vehicle profiles, is one example - at least I could not find them. They are visible in the video. And all points of interest that are imported from Basecamp are shown as white hearts in a green box (favorites) - not the symbol I assigned before in BC. The Montana 700 seems to do all that much better. So if you can live without gimmicks like tyre pressure control, media player or service log, the 700 is the better choice, for sure if you also want to use it off the bike for hiking or geocaching like me. I just wished it would import shaping points, like my 276cx does. I am very close to ordering one anyway... ;-)

I currently own the Garmin InReach Explorer+ and the Oregon 750. Less than two hours after the e-mail from Garmin announcing the Montana 700 series, I ordered the Montana 750i from the Garmin store. Two birds. One stone. Thanks! :-) I still need to figure how to carry it. I've been attaching the InReach to a daisy chain on my pack's left shoulder strap and the Oregon to a pouch on my belt. I'd like to attach the Montana in a similar way to the InReach, which hangs from a carabiner. I hope I can receive the unit before the start of my Monday-Wednesday hike in Yosemite, but I'm sure to have it by the time I do Whitney and Langley again late this month or early next.
You've identified the biggest problem with the 700 series- the lack of a proper attachment point. The Montana 600 series has a wide slot for attaching a carabiner by means of a strap, the 700 series only has a tiny lanyard attachment. They seem to have assumed only people with vehicles would want these ...

I guess it is finally time to upgrade from my eTrex. After 23 years of use, a cracked screen, and rubber buttons missing, the little bastard is still going.
This unit should have been released 5 years ago . The technology was well available 10 years ago . Not sure what the hold up was with incorporating gps mapping as well as communication via text in one unit. Hard to tell by this video... but I sure hope the resolution of the screen is on par with current smart phones . The Montana units that proceeded these ones had a grainy display like a digital camera had 20+ years ago . I’m not sure why all the most current and best technologies take so long to make their way to hand held gps units . This one looks like they may finally be catching up to what gps units should have already been .

So how EXACTLY does one record where they have hiked? How are bread crumb trails laid on a Garmin Montana 750i? Step by step, how is where one has hiked recorded?
I'm very excited about this new model, but I'm curious to know if it has the same bugs as the old Montana and 276CX. Specifically, will the active track disappear when track log is full and it auto-archives? The Wrap feature from the old 276 should never have been eleminated. Secondly, when mounted on a snowmobile or ATV, will the vibrations cause the maps to dance around? Both my Montana and my 276CX are frustrating to use because when the sled or atv are idling the maps are constantly shifting. My old 276 never did that at all.
Started with 12XL, then GPSmap76, GPSmap76sc, Montana 650, beta tested DeLorme PN series including PN60W with InReach messaging, and have the DeLorme InReach Explorer. Messaging and entering waypoint comments is extremely tedious on the Explorer or 66i series! I use the Montana for tracks & waypoints along with PN60W, (for backup track recording in more detail) for mapping bicycle trails/routes for my website and openstreetmap updates. I carry the Explorer whenever I may venture range out of cell phone range. (My Montana developed a hole over power button, no longer waterproof, and has a random shutdown issue when selecting waypoint symbol for change that no update has ever corrected.) The Montana 650 has survived a number of falls from mtb mount onto concrete and survived. Am finally considering an update, but its pricey!
Thank you for your questions. The Montana 700 series has an operating temperature range from -20 degrees to 60 degrees C (from -4 degrees to 140 degrees F). Also, it is compatible with BlueChart and LakeVu mapping.
@Garmin retail training So it will work with blue chart? Like G3? Someone from your tech support said he had no idea an that you guys haven’t tested which works an doesn’t an to just wing it an try it. I thought that was horrible tech support advice.
wow, forget about the Micro USB, when spending $800, the device doesn't have a Solar powered Glass inbuilt for recharge option, calling itself an adventure companion. they have inbuilt Solar option with a Watch that never goes into sunlight but not on this "Adventure device". let know when it comes out with that option i be happy to spend $1000
That would of been nice, it’s not a watch though and I’d imagine with a device like this a built in solar panel wouldn’t of been practical, good thing I have solar chargers that will keep mine powered and an attitude that doesn’t stink.
I shortened mine quite easily. If you expose the wires you will find the only two you need-a positive and negative. They can be attached nearly anywhere you choose.
im hoping for a home run here for my snowmobiling trips. will i need specific state trail maps for the 750i ? or are they pre downloaded? I searched for many others but i ended up buying this. i got the power pack as well as i have plug in power port on my machine
Did you get it and the Garmin Rugged Mount? I hate the wiring on the Rugged mount. I tried to shorten the cables and use only the power, only to find out after I made the mount unusable that the wires CANNOT be shortened. Does Garmin tell you that or provide support? NO! Nice unit. Good mount physically, but almost useless unless you can tuck away the miles of thick and complicated cabling.

So question to you girls and guys at Garmin: do those units support the import of shaping points for route navigation, like the 276cx does? I guess it does not, because the old Montans don't do this either.
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series will support the importing of the same points as the GPSMAP 276Cx. As far as shaping points specifically, if you are referring to the points that BaseCamp makes in routes, then yes. But if you are trying to import a point with a .shp file extension from other programs, then it will not. Our Product Support Team would be happy to assist you further and can be reached at support.garmin.com or 800-800-1020. I hope this helps.

Lee White. Depends on what kind touch screen technology they use. Curious! But the screen on the montana sometimes lived it own life in snowy condition while driving snowmobile.
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can select random locations from the "map page", then save that location as a waypoint and/or navigate to that point. I hope this helps.
The 700i and 750 i have driving maps preloaded. Does that mean the 700 cannot use them or you would have to just manually download them from somewhere?
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 has 16 GB of onboard memory and a microSD card slot for expandable storage, so you can add maps such as City Navigator or BlueChart g3. Below is a link for choosing additional mapping. I hope this helps. www.garmin.com/en-US/p/633697/pn/010-02133-00#maps
Bonjour, merci pour la video. J'habite en france , basque country Concernant le modele 750 i, pouvez vous me dire si pour la montagne et l'escalade il existe des itinéraires à télécharger avec les voies équipées et l'emplacement des spits sur ces voies ? Et pour la chasse sous marine à la palme, avec le gps sur une planche, pourrait on repérer des pierres, et avec quelle precision svp ? merci d'avance peyo
Bonjour, merci pour votre commentaire. Les cartes sur le Montana 750i contiennent plutôt les routes et les sentiers balisés. Malheureusement, c’est improbable que les voies équipées soient sur la carte. Cependant, vous pouvez créer des itinéraires directement sur l’appareil si vous savez où se trouve la voie. Concernant les pierres, voulez-vous utiliser la carte sur l’appareil ou la caméra ? La carte ne contiendra pas d’information sur les pierres dans l’eau, mais selon les conditions vous pourrez essayer de prendre une photo avec la caméra. Si vous avez d’autres questions concernant le fonctionnement de cet appareil, nous vous suggérons de contacter l’assistance technique de Garmin France : support.garmin.com/fr-FR/.

Why am I not getting the same detailed mapping as him straight out of box. I did pair it with my phone upon initial setup and downloaded maps with the explore app. Did that only download it to the app, do I need to plug my montana into a computer an upgrade maps to get better quality. In the montana map settings it says I'm using TOPO Australia & NZ V6, but not getting as much detail on montana as I do on the explore app. I'm getting no roads etc. Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
Sorry to hear that you're not able to see the proper detailed mapping. Please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to troubleshoot and assist.
I don't like Garmin mapping. It's rubbish if you want an accurate topological view of the landscape. Also is it fully compatible with Bssecamp? Previous Zumo devices weren't. You'd spend a lot of time in Bssecamp choosing suitable symbols for POIs, but after transferring your route to the Zumo all the POI symbols would be changed to one generic symbol making it impossible to distinguish them. Waste of time. I'd much rather use my Smartphone, much better screen and faster to use plus all the other things it can do.
Does it have any bicycle specific tracking modes/functions/abilities? Can it sync to HR straps, Cadence, Speed or Fenix watches via BT or Ant+? Wonder if this computer would bridge the gap or serve as both general outdoor navigator and bicycle computer.
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series has both Mountain Bike and Tour Cycling profile options built-in. It does not have any cycling specific pages, but you can customize the data fields on the Trip Computer, Compass, Map, and Altimeter pages to show some cycling data. The available data fields can be seen here......www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-20A50E5B-3DFB-42C7-A3B4-8D55519B532C/EN-US/GUID-37A0AE2A-98CD-4463-ADB9-13749D79B09F.html. While it's not compatible with Varia products, power meter data, or cycling dynamics, it IS compatible with our HR monitors and speed and cadence sensors. You can also broadcast HR data from a compatible fenix device as well. I hope this helps.
Would it be possible to get topo maps of middle eastern countries? thinking about taking one of these for primarily communication purposes during a deployment, but i would also like to have the topo maps of the area

Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series does not have position reporting like we have on the Rhino series. However, with the inReach technology in the 700i and 750i, a message would include Lat/Long and shows on the map. To use this feature, it would require an active inReach subscription. I hope this helps.

@@GarminRetailTraining Comparison says 700i has turn by turn with optional maps, heard elsewhere that it includes City Navigator w/lifetime updates.... Total bummer about issues with onX maps...
The Montana 700i will do turn-by-turn directions with the preloaded TopoActive mapping for hiking and cycling. The EU and AU versions also come preloaded with City Navigator respective to those regions. If you want the turn-by-turn directions like you would find in one of our Drive series units for US coverage, you would purchase the City Navigator North America NT maps.
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not offer much of any additional mapping for Asia. We only offer BlueChart g3 mapping for Japan and BirdsEye Satellite Imagery.
Hello!Does anyone know how much the deviation is?For example, if I mark a tree, will the navigation show that I arrived at that place at 1m or at 15-20m. I need great precision to hunt truffles at night.I used to have Etrex 30x and it showed me badly. Also my current location, on one side I am surrounded by a river and in order to change my position the river is always on the same side which it really isn't, the map didn't rotate at all?Thank you
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series has Multi-GNSS support that gives you access to not only the GPS constellation, but also GLONASS and GALILEO satellite networks as well. This should give you +/- 3 meter accuracy and the ability to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone. I hope this helps.
Thank you for your question. Below is a link to a comparison chart between the 700, 700i, and 750i. As far as using the GPS, yes the GPS will function all over the world. However, you may have to purchase maps for a specific region separately. Also if you get a device with inReach technology, some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communications devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used. I hope this helps.

No way to attach this to a carabiner ? Hmm, I have an inReach mini, and attach it to a carabiner, at one end, and a Retractable Lanyard, on the end. That way, I can pull the string on the retractable lanyard, and look at the inReach mini, and see my information. From what I can see, I cannot do that.

What's the screen made out of? Seems like plastic opposed to gorilla glass... poor materials do not give me the confidence that a company is confident in their product. Hardware seems amazing, but I don't think I'm alone with people desiring quality materials.
Thank you for your question. These are two very different products based on what your primary outdoor activities will include.

I guess it is finally time to upgrade from my eTrex. After 23 years of use, a cracked screen, and rubber buttons missing, the little bastard is still going.
Nice video! Is there a successor to the 700 in sight by now?
Add an iridium-based sat phone feature to this and it would be the best!
jonathan longmire sat phone plans are $$$
It’s got Inreach. Off the grid texting. Iridium calls are like $50 a min
Micro-USB.....seriously? This is a setback and very disappointing.....progress runs away from you, dear Garmin!
doesnt matter so much no, microUSB is still standart format for almost all powerbanks so you can use one cable for charge powerbank and navigation
This unit should have been released 5 years ago . The technology was well available 10 years ago . Not sure what the hold up was with incorporating gps mapping as well as communication via text in one unit.
Hard to tell by this video... but I sure hope the resolution of the screen is on par with current smart phones . The Montana units that proceeded these ones had a grainy display like a digital camera had 20+ years ago . I’m not sure why all the most current and best technologies take so long to make their way to hand held gps units .
This one looks like they may finally be catching up to what gps units should have already been .
Did not see any hiking video's on your website, dogs, golfing, driving, cycling, running but no hiking ones.
Garmin Montana 750i கருவியை கடல் Marine basement rock , Coral reefs இருக்கும் இடங்களை பதிவு செய்து குறித்து கொள்ள முடியுமா ?
(Marine GPS ஆக பயன்படுத்த முடியுமா ) இது குறித்து மேலதிக தகவல்கள் எனக்கு பயனுள்ளதாக இருக்கும்.
Could I use it in EU, India, China and other countries? Are there downloadable charts for the whole world?
I bought the 700i but I can’t take the cool 😎 mountain man 🧔♂️ background music 🎶 Call 📞 me old fashion but I just can’t do it! I will just have to figure the thing out myself!
Was hoping to get an idea of the differences between the models.
Sorry the video didn't have everything you were looking for regarding the Montana series. Garmin.com has a great comparison feature to easily see features and specifications for most products you may be interested in. Here's a link for a comparison specifically for the Montana 700, 700i, and 750i. Hope it helps. - Matt

Can these do addresses or intersections of back roads?
So how EXACTLY does one record where they have hiked? How are bread crumb trails laid on a Garmin Montana 750i? Step by step, how is where one has hiked recorded?
yea.. so what is the story with maps downloads and subscriptions? ta..
I'm very excited about this new model, but I'm curious to know if it has the same bugs as the old Montana and 276CX. Specifically, will the active track disappear when track log is full and it auto-archives? The Wrap feature from the old 276 should never have been eleminated.
Secondly, when mounted on a snowmobile or ATV, will the vibrations cause the maps to dance around? Both my Montana and my 276CX are frustrating to use because when the sled or atv are idling the maps are constantly shifting. My old 276 never did that at all.
usb type c ？？？？？
Thanks for your question. This device has microUSB 2A connectivity.
Why wouldn’t you use USB-C?
Jeremy Huber what’s the use in that connector?
@@Trials77 honestly why does it matter? It’s not like micro usb cords aren’t being made anymore
On 32GB capacity. I don’t think Garmin thought this one thru b4 launch
Hi, is there any way that Big Brother can monitor / track you using the Garmin Montana 700?
Started with 12XL, then GPSmap76, GPSmap76sc, Montana 650, beta tested DeLorme PN series including PN60W with InReach messaging,
and have the DeLorme InReach Explorer. Messaging and entering waypoint comments is extremely tedious on the Explorer or 66i series!
I use the Montana for tracks & waypoints along with PN60W, (for backup track recording in more detail) for mapping bicycle trails/routes for my website and openstreetmap updates. I carry the Explorer whenever I may venture range out of cell phone range.
(My Montana developed a hole over power button, no longer waterproof, and has a random shutdown issue when selecting waypoint symbol for change that no update has ever corrected.) The Montana 650 has survived a number of falls from mtb mount onto concrete and survived.
Am finally considering an update, but its pricey!
Does the basic WX plan provide real time audible screen alerts for severe WX (severe thunderstorms, flash floods, wild fire, tornadoes) ?
Vocês têm vídeo dando o curso como usar o aparelho
So I have to be connected to WiFi In the middle of nowhere to look at live radar. Someone didn’t think that through
Nice!
How about cold weather performance on snowmobile? Also wondering about blue charts for marine use?
Thank you for your questions. The Montana 700 series has an operating temperature range from -20 degrees to 60 degrees C (from -4 degrees to 140 degrees F). Also, it is compatible with BlueChart and LakeVu mapping.
@@GarminRetailTraining Is it compatible with Quickdraw? I'd like a handheld device for ice fishing.
@@lag_profil Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series does not have Quickdraw contour capabilities.
@Garmin retail training
So it will work with blue chart? Like G3? Someone from your tech support said he had no idea an that you guys haven’t tested which works an doesn’t an to just wing it an try it. I thought that was horrible tech support advice.
@Garminretailtraining
What are the various colors and associated models? I saw white, orange, and black mounts in the video...
Would the touchscreen work in the wet? If not, no use for Britain.
wow, forget about the Micro USB, when spending $800, the device doesn't have a Solar powered Glass inbuilt for recharge option, calling itself an adventure companion. they have inbuilt Solar option with a Watch that never goes into sunlight but not on this "Adventure device". let know when it comes out with that option i be happy to spend $1000
That would of been nice, it’s not a watch though and I’d imagine with a device like this a built in solar panel wouldn’t of been practical, good thing I have solar chargers that will keep mine powered and an attitude that doesn’t stink.
Touchscreen likely useless in mild to strong rain especially here in the Pacific North West.
Can the 750I send photos to the 700I?
this is not a training video it's a sales pitch.
Can it be used while charging ? Can I plug it into a power so ride on a sxs to keep the battery up ?
Can I type when screen is wet or will it be funky ?
Just don't get the Rugged Mount unless you want miles of complicated cabling that you CANNOT shorten.
I shortened mine quite easily. If you expose the wires you will find the only two you need-a positive and negative. They can be attached nearly anywhere you choose.
Is it waterproof?
More feature to drain battery better !
Ali Nasir only 50% battery drain in 7 hours with all radios active and full backlight.
im hoping for a home run here for my snowmobiling trips. will i need specific state trail maps for the 750i ? or are they pre downloaded? I searched for many others but i ended up buying this. i got the power pack as well as i have plug in power port on my machine
Did you get it and the Garmin Rugged Mount? I hate the wiring on the Rugged mount. I tried to shorten the cables and use only the power, only to find out after I made the mount unusable that the wires CANNOT be shortened. Does Garmin tell you that or provide support? NO!
Nice unit. Good mount physically, but almost useless unless you can tuck away the miles of thick and complicated cabling.
Is there are any chance to upload maps for forestry needs?
Thank you for your question. In addition to the preloaded topographical maps for U.S. and Canada, we have a variety of additional topographical and Birdseye Satellite Imagery maps available (link below). If there is something specific you are looking for, please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to assist.
On the Trail Maps - www.garmin.com/en-US/p/633697/pn/010-02133-00#maps
Make the entire Map the birds eye view an it would be worth it, the driving profile map is garbage.
So question to you girls and guys at Garmin: do those units support the import of shaping points for route navigation, like the 276cx does? I guess it does not, because the old Montans don't do this either.
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series will support the importing of the same points as the GPSMAP 276Cx. As far as shaping points specifically, if you are referring to the points that BaseCamp makes in routes, then yes. But if you are trying to import a point with a .shp file extension from other programs, then it will not. Our Product Support Team would be happy to assist you further and can be reached at support.garmin.com or 800-800-1020. I hope this helps.
They need a new CEO.
What's wrong with the CEO?
Is this gps good for Europe if not which one is
I’m looking for something that is good for walking,highking, bicycling,atv,snowmobiling and is very very very user friendly . The only gps I’ve used is the one for vehicles
Can you customize the icons at the bottom? Any other menus for the inReach?
What is the "drug or dog tracking capabilities" you mention at 3:08?
What is "creating a wave point"?
Thank you for your question. Waypoints are locations you record and store in the device. Waypoints can mark where you are, where you are doing, or where you have been. Below is our product support page with links for step-by-step instructions on manipulating waypoints. Our Product Support team can also be reached at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to assist. I hope this helps.

But how is the touchscreen working when its raining?
The touch screen in the 600 series Montana's had no trouble in the rain, why would the new one?
Lee White. Depends on what kind touch screen technology they use. Curious! But the screen on the montana sometimes lived it own life in snowy condition while driving snowmobile.
It works great!
And reports say that they dont like cold weather.
hello, can you pin random point on this device without computer and than hike to that point... tnx
Thank you for your question. Yes, you can select random locations from the "map page", then save that location as a waypoint and/or navigate to that point. I hope this helps.
The 700i and 750 i have driving maps preloaded. Does that mean the 700 cannot use them or you would have to just manually download them from somewhere?
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 has 16 GB of onboard memory and a microSD card slot for expandable storage, so you can add maps such as City Navigator or BlueChart g3. Below is a link for choosing additional mapping. I hope this helps.

Bonjour, merci pour la video. J'habite en france , basque country Concernant le modele 750 i, pouvez vous me dire si pour la montagne et l'escalade il existe des itinéraires à télécharger avec les voies équipées et l'emplacement des spits sur ces voies ? Et pour la chasse sous marine à la palme, avec le gps sur une planche, pourrait on repérer des pierres, et avec quelle precision svp ? merci d'avance peyo
Bonjour, merci pour votre commentaire. Les cartes sur le Montana 750i contiennent plutôt les routes et les sentiers balisés. Malheureusement, c’est improbable que les voies équipées soient sur la carte. Cependant, vous pouvez créer des itinéraires directement sur l’appareil si vous savez où se trouve la voie. Concernant les pierres, voulez-vous utiliser la carte sur l’appareil ou la caméra ? La carte ne contiendra pas d’information sur les pierres dans l’eau, mais selon les conditions vous pourrez essayer de prendre une photo avec la caméra.
Si vous avez d’autres questions concernant le fonctionnement de cet appareil, nous vous suggérons de contacter l’assistance technique de Garmin France : support.garmin.com/fr-FR/.
lol, ver el tiempo conectando al movil...lo miras desde el movil directamente.
Why am I not getting the same detailed mapping as him straight out of box.
I did pair it with my phone upon initial setup and downloaded maps with the explore app.
Did that only download it to the app, do I need to plug my montana into a computer an upgrade maps to get better quality.
In the montana map settings it says I'm using TOPO Australia & NZ V6, but not getting as much detail on montana as I do on the explore app.
I'm getting no roads etc.
Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
Sorry to hear that you're not able to see the proper detailed mapping. Please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to troubleshoot and assist.
I don't like Garmin mapping. It's rubbish if you want an accurate topological view of the landscape. Also is it fully compatible with Bssecamp? Previous Zumo devices weren't. You'd spend a lot of time in Bssecamp choosing suitable symbols for POIs, but after transferring your route to the Zumo all the POI symbols would be changed to one generic symbol making it impossible to distinguish them. Waste of time. I'd much rather use my Smartphone, much better screen and faster to use plus all the other things it can do.
Does it have any bicycle specific tracking modes/functions/abilities? Can it sync to HR straps, Cadence, Speed or Fenix watches via BT or Ant+? Wonder if this computer would bridge the gap or serve as both general outdoor navigator and bicycle computer.
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series has both Mountain Bike and Tour Cycling profile options built-in. It does not have any cycling specific pages, but you can customize the data fields on the Trip Computer, Compass, Map, and Altimeter pages to show some cycling data. The available data fields can be seen here......www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-20A50E5B-3DFB-42C7-A3B4-8D55519B532C/EN-US/GUID-37A0AE2A-98CD-4463-ADB9-13749D79B09F.html. While it's not compatible with Varia products, power meter data, or cycling dynamics, it IS compatible with our HR monitors and speed and cadence sensors. You can also broadcast HR data from a compatible fenix device as well. I hope this helps.
Would it be possible to get topo maps of middle eastern countries? thinking about taking one of these for primarily communication purposes during a deployment, but i would also like to have the topo maps of the area

A non-replaceable internal battery instead of simple AA? No thanks. Seems like your designers have never been on a trip longer than a day hike.
The battery is replaceable. Watch some YT reviews and check the specs, it says rechargeable lithium ion or 3 AA batteries. -ion (included
This is a marketing video, not a training video.
Is this product work in India?
Nice 😜✌️
If my friend and I both have these gps can we track each other? Say if we were in the wilderness and get separated and need to find each other.
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series does not have position reporting like we have on the Rhino series. However, with the inReach technology in the 700i and 750i, a message would include Lat/Long and shows on the map. To use this feature, it would require an active inReach subscription. I hope this helps.
Where can I find a comparison between this and the 66i?
Thanks for your question. From our website, buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/c12521-p1.html, scroll down and click on "compare". Then, select the devices you would like to compare. I hope this helps.
@@GarminRetailTraining Comparison says 700i has turn by turn with optional maps, heard elsewhere that it includes City Navigator w/lifetime updates....
Total bummer about issues with onX maps...
The Montana 700i will do turn-by-turn directions with the preloaded TopoActive mapping for hiking and cycling. The EU and AU versions also come preloaded with City Navigator respective to those regions. If you want the turn-by-turn directions like you would find in one of our Drive series units for US coverage, you would purchase the City Navigator North America NT maps.
Is there ASIAN map for the 700 series ??
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not offer much of any additional mapping for Asia. We only offer BlueChart g3 mapping for Japan and BirdsEye Satellite Imagery.
How is the wifi?
Hello!Does anyone know how much the deviation is?For example, if I mark a tree, will the navigation show that I arrived at that place at 1m or at 15-20m. I need great precision to hunt truffles at night.I used to have Etrex 30x and it showed me badly. Also my current location, on one side I am surrounded by a river and in order to change my position the river is always on the same side which it really isn't, the map didn't rotate at all?Thank you
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series has Multi-GNSS support that gives you access to not only the GPS constellation, but also GLONASS and GALILEO satellite networks as well. This should give you +/- 3 meter accuracy and the ability to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone. I hope this helps.
@@GarminRetailTraining Thanks for your reply:)
What is the difference between 700/ 750
If buy this in Australia can I use the gps in Chile?
Thank you for your question. Below is a link to a comparison chart between the 700, 700i, and 750i. As far as using the GPS, yes the GPS will function all over the world. However, you may have to purchase maps for a specific region separately. Also if you get a device with inReach technology, some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communications devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used. I hope this helps.

No way to attach this to a carabiner ? Hmm, I have an inReach mini, and attach it to a carabiner, at one end, and a Retractable Lanyard, on the end. That way, I can pull the string on the retractable lanyard, and look at the inReach mini, and see my information. From what I can see, I cannot do that. Really annoying to pay more than $100 CAN for a device, and cannot attach it, for doing hiking. The video is showing someone doing hiking. Please Garmin, come up with a solution to attach this for a hiker. As of now, because of this, I will not buy it, I will stick with my inReach mini.
You know the weight is like one pound right!
@@anthonyng8800 The weight was not the issue. The issue was how I could attach it to the setup I have when I am hiking. In the end, I did not bought the Montana, sold my inReach mini, and bought a GPSMAP 66i with inReach Technology,... :-)
Do this gps can use mgrs
Thank you for your question. Yes, MGRS is one of the available position formats.
Can you down load tracks a d navigate them turn for turn like the montana?
Does it have a powered handle bar mount?
Can you control the Virb 360 with this unit?
Thank you for your question. Yes, the Montana series has a built-in Virb remote as part of the "Daily Smart Features".
@@GarminRetailTraining No wayyy! That is awesome!
Will this unit provide turn by turn directions via bluetooth?
Thank you for your question. Yes, navigation prompts are available in the Montana 700 series when paired with a compatible headset.
Was hoping my photos would upload to my mapshare so fam can see what I see in Yellowstone. Nope! Huge disappointment
Can you download Ridecommand (Polaris )
Thank you for your question. The Montana 700 series is not compatible with the Polaris Ride Command app.

Great review!
👎IMO, Garmin missed the boat! 👎 Buy a 700 dollar gps that you have to connect to your phone to use most of the top features! FAIL! I do not want to depend on my phone to use my gps device. Now I have to keep two devices charged when I am in the backwoods. Or, maybe I can just depend on my phone only!
That’s why I bought the mini. I’ll just use the garmin app. Just hope I’m right, picked the mini up today
Does he really need a gps unit to navigate his back garden😂……
What's the screen made out of? Seems like plastic opposed to gorilla glass... poor materials do not give me the confidence that a company is confident in their product. Hardware seems amazing, but I don't think I'm alone with people desiring quality materials.
It’s gorilla glass mate
Thank you for your question. The screen on the Montana 700 series is chemically bonded glass, not plastic.
I'm curious to know if this is a better option(750i) than the Overlander?
Thank you for your question. These are two very different products based on what your primary outdoor activities will include. The Overlander is designed with specific Navigation, RV, and Adventure Features to compliment Overlanding, whereas the Montana 700 series is designed with more features for someone who will be using it for hiking and ATV adventures. Each of the product pages on our website have a "specs" tab that you can click on to see more details and compare to make the right choice for your adventures. I hope this helps.
