Garmin Montana GPS help for a first timer. Died in less than 2 hours.
Hello all - I'm brand new to using a dedicated GPS. I have played around with profiles a little last fall and yesterday I tried to use Tracks to create a track from my apartment, through the city, to a national park. The drive took about 2 hours and the GPS died before I got to the destination. I started the track with 88% battery.
The Garmin Montana 680t is less than a year old. I bought it last September. Used the rechargeable battery included with the unit.
I had the Tracks set to "Distance", "Interval 0.05," Auto Pause Off, Auto Start Off.
In this case I had backlight off to 15 seconds, but "Power Save" was turned off.
The track I was making had (before it shut off):
1:05:54 total time
439 track points
Can anyone tell what I am doing wrong? Is this normal? This was the first time I've ever used Tracks. Any ideas?
Any help appreciated!
