CY- enjoy but don't thank me but those fab people at OSM:thumbup1:
Walter- TT mount available in silver or anodised black from TT Germany- The cross bar mount is a separate item- I chose that as I needed to 'clear' my tank bag . (ps you have a pm- could you make that call and let me know asap pls? thanks Walter) TIP! I just found the little rubber plug to cover the pins when the Montana is not mounted - it's pushed into the recess of the AMPS mount and I missed that! |

Think I will stick with my pocket for now. I have the GPS off the bike every evening anyway, backing up the tracks. Another quirk is on brutal off road vibrations the battery or electrical connections seem to disconnect momentarily, and often ... resetting the device constantly. Sticking an earplug in the back of the unit between the battery and the battery cover, seems to cure it. |
ah, Walter, I suffered the same problem, I sent it back, and they have replaced the unit, but I haven't yet been off road to test it out, as i've blown my engine up. Oops. If it happens again, i'll try that trick!

RAM parts? |

The jaw mechanism of the TT mount acts as a 'belt and braces' and holds the gps firmly into the AMPS mount ergo the pins. The key locking is just to stop sticky fingers but won't resit a pry-bar! |

looks like it's better to buy Ram parts separately instead of a kit. |
got OSM USA maps loaded on montana. can see details of streets, but "where to" search for addresses will not work.
works fine with poi and way points... makes a route with no problems. but when you try to find any address... search cannot find any street anyone else have this problem? |
it's not a problem CY, it's called Adventure!!:D

Beta 4.01 is out for Montana Garmin: Montana Updates & Downloads
Fixed issues with map set selections across Profiles |
I'm using basecamp on mac. When I see the various maps that are on my mem card, listed on the left hand side, under 'my garmin devices'
the list of maps, they are all called OSM World Routable , despite the fact I have renamed each IMG after its relevant country. Which means because I can't calculate routes over border crossings, it makes trying to select the next map very difficult. Any tips? |
help, there is one very useful, if not critical, feature which I can't find on my Montana, hopefully it is here, I just can't find it:
whenever I enter a destination, I like to check the overall route to make sure that the route is to the right destination, does not include any crazy detours, etc.--this was easy on my Zumo, but on the Montana the only way I can find to do this is to zoom way out on the main map, which takes a long time--is there any easier way to do this? |

When you have finished looking, hit the 'go back' button, and you are back into your previous view, without having to hit the minus button Hope that helps Cheers from Montenegro TS |
4.04 Beta
is out as of 18/05. Download link seems to be invalid though...
I loaded the 4.03 beta yesterday and the thing that I liked is that I can calculate a route, avoiding toll roads, for 1000kms plus without it truncating the route:clap: (not that quick to do it, but at least it works). I complained to Garmin some months ago about it. They said it was down to internal memory and the way its allocated. My 276c had no such problems and that had very little memory. So, a step foreword I think. Cheers, John |
4.04 beta is out (didn't like 4.03)... snappier ... my lost profile came back
perhaps this beta will be more stable |
