Es gilt noch immer: "In English please!"
Ich habe noch mal im Internet gesucht und nun gefunden das ich bei dem Primäres Kartendatum WGS84 einstellen muss.
Ähh ja, habe ich ja oben auch geschrieben.
Nur leider weichen die Koordinaten immer noch mindestens um 50 Meter ab. Muss ich das Gerät eine gewisse Zeit vorher an machen und es an einer Stelle liegen lassen wo es einen Guten GPS Empfang hat?Vor der ersten Benutzung oder nach längerer Nichtbenutzung sollte das Gerät ca. 20 Min. unbewegt an einem Ort mit guten Sat-Empfang liegen um den Almanach füllen zu könne.
50 Meter Abweichung können aber auch dann unter schlechten Empfangsbedingungen (Häuser-)Schluchten, dichter/nasser Wald, etc. auftreten.
Kompassausrichtung und Höhenangaben habe nichts mit der Position zu tun.
Ansonsten solltest Du hier wirklich in englisch schreiben oder ein/das deutsches Forum aufsuchen.

Sorry to everybody for answering in Germany.
@ NicoleKR: This is an English spoken forum.
Primäres Kartendatum:
Germa
Habe zwar kein Magellan aber:
"Germa"? Du meinst vermutlich German? Sonst steht das nichts weiter?
Naja, das ist auf jeden Fall ein falsches Kartendatum. Wenn Du die Koordinaten mit GE vergleichen willst ist es "WGS84 für Gradangaben (oder UTM, wenn du das in GE eingestellt hast).
Sekundäres Koordinatensystem:UMT
Du meinst "UTM"?
Falls ja, kannst Du das auch verwenden, musst aber GE auf UTM umstellen.

Sorry, my fault!
Didn't saw the first one.

"6. Make a change in the map setup (i.e. change the active map)"
Is not a very logic move, eg you're searching for an address in one map you find it, then you switch to another map.
Even if this Beta is not stable, you can't blame the Beta on this.
Then change anything else, i.e. track-up, north up.
It happens with any changes in the map setup.

A bug: Go to trip computer, select Menu\Setup Trip Computer, select down arrow to go to second page and gps shuts off. I have reported it.
Tried it, and on mine it crashes as soon as I select Setup already.
Dito!
Selecting the setup of the Trip Computer immediately crashes my Montana.
My Montana also crashes when I:
1. Select "Where To?"
2. Select "Addresses"
3. Search for an address (in my case, I've the CN 2012.40 EU installed)
4. After an address was entered the map view with "GO" opens up
5. Here select the "map setup" with the "3-lines button"
6. Make a change in the map setup (i.e. change the active map)
7. Try to return to the map view -> Montana shuts down

I've severals Bugs with my Montana 600 and the Beta 3.94:
1. The Montana crashes sometimes using the "3D-View" after panning around a bit with the arrow-keys AND an active GPS-fix. Active map is the Topo Germany V3.
2. The Montana crashes using the "Elevation Plot" with an active routing or following a track and the plot-type is set to "Elevation/Distance" (my usual settings :-/) AND an active GPS-fix. Active map is the Topo Germany V3.
3. When using "Where To?" -> "Cities" -> search by name -> after a few typed letters the Montana stuck (battery must be removed). Active map is CN Europe 2012.40.
4. Within the elevation plot respectively on the plot itself I can't activate the small red dot (by tapping on the plot) anymore for getting additional information (Date and Elevation) for a plot-point.

BTW, a Montana 450t does not exist.
Oregon 450t
or
Montana 650t
?

•Fixed issue with power off barometric pressure trending
Finally it is fixed and working (again)!
-
Yes, I've exactly the same problem with my Montana and FW 3.6x Beta.
The "always pressure saving" worked well with FW 3.60.
-
Subraid, that link doesn't work.
OK, sorry. Next try:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Uh Oh, Subraid, is yours an older unit?
Yes, mine is about 2 months old.
-
Given your settings are different than mine we may have found our culprit.
Nope, my settings are the same as WrongwayUKs and I'm getting the error.
I've send this picture to the Montana-Team: https://forum.garmin.de/attachment.php?attachmentid=3781&stc=1&d=1323016705
-
YES!!! I have this problem as well. I reported it to Garmin but they weren't able to reproduce the problem. They have said to document it well, complete with screen shots and a documentation of settings, and get back to them.
They asked me the same and I already did it (screenshot, documentation).
"Good" to hear, that I'm not the only one with this problem.
-
Have you emailed the beta team at Garmin. I have sent an email for two separate things and had replies with good results.
Yes I did and get a reply, that they can't reproduce this error.
I did hardreset my device and it still didn't work (as it was in 3.60).
So I wonder if I'm the only one with this error.
-
I still have the broken "Save Always" pressure trending in the 3.66 Beta. Anyone else too?
When "Save Always" is selected in the barometer setup and you turn the unit off it doesn't record any data. Instead when you turn the unit on you'll see a straight line from power off to power on (no dynamic data).

I've sent the following bug report to MontanaBeta@garmin.com
Maybe some of you also encouter one or the other bug and report it to Garmin too.
Hello Montana-Team,thank you for the new FW 3.63 and it's new features. I like most of them very much.
Unfortunately I still encounter many old an new bugs:
1. (new in 3.63) The new TripComputer page and functions are very useful but now the trip computer settings are stored system-wide and no more profile specific. I "hope" this is a bug and not intended because I like the profile specific trip computer settings very much!
Method:
- configure the trip computer page
- change the profile
- this (and any other) profile now have the same trip computer settings
2. (new in 3.63) Set Mount Profile (under profile settings), trying to change from "No Change" to anything else results in the white screen of death and shuts the unit down.
3. The Montana stops talking at the car-navigation in the car-cradle after 3-4 new route calculations, which were triggered automatically by a different route selection.
Method:
- Montana in the car cradle set to the nüvi-mode, City Navigator Europe active
- start a routing
- drive another way then suggested by the Montana
- Montana recalculates the route
- do this 3-4 times
-> Montana stops "talking", no vocal route instructions are given any more
- only a power cycle get rid of that problem till the next 3-4 recalculations.
4. The Montana looses settings when plugged in and out from the car-cradle. I.e. the voice/volume is muted (new in 3.63).
Method:
- Montana is set to automatic changing profiles the plugged in and out the car cradle. In my case it switches between a "car-navigation" profile and a "hiking" profile.
- now sometimes the active maps in the profiles have changed then formerly set in the specific profile. (hiking maps are active in the car-profile and vice versa).
- the volume is set to mute
5. When the Montana is powered up by the alarm-clock it fades to a white screen and crashes.
Method:
- Set the Alarm-Clock in the Montana and let it power down
- Wait till the alarm gets active and powers up the Montana
- Stop the alarm and start using the Montana
-> see graphic errors on the screen while using the Montana until it fades to a white screen.
-> you have to reboot the Montana to use it again
6. The Navi-mode "nüvi" view is very slow (takes a long time to
start recalculation, turns are no longer updated) when the logging
is set to "Automatic" -> "often" or "very often". If the logging
is switched to "normal" nüvi works well again.
7. If a waypoint is created in BaseCamp with an approximity-alarm
and this point is then transferred to the Montana the
approximity-alarm is lost.
Nice to have:
I. If you navigate with a track it's never clear in
which direction the track points. Small arrows on the track would
be very helpful!
II. Taping on the GPS-reception bar should result in opening the satellite page, like it's handled at the Oregons.
III. Taping on the north-arrow in the map-screen should result in northing the map when you're using "track up" or the "car-view" (like it's done at the Oregons).
IV. The barometric altimeter should the deactivateable to get the GPS-elevation stored in the tracklog. Very usefull in airplanes with a pressurised cabin. (Like it's done in other Garmin models when you set the device to "fixed elevation").
Greetings from Germany!

Theres a few things on the list that interest me. Unfortunately I can't install it as there is not Mac version. How long is it usually before the beta goes out of beta.
Extract the exe-file and you'll receive the necessary file to update operating system independent.

These are neither Navstar-GPS nor GLONASS satellites but European Galileo-Sats (launched from ArianeSpace from French-Guiana by Russian Soyuz rockets).
This are some of the first few test-satellites launched this year. Galileo itself will not be usable befor 2014.

Garmin Garage does not work for the Montana unfortunately.
Mhh, for my Montana it works perfectly.

Hi,
after 3 days of Montana usage (hiked 2 times and 1 mountain bike tour) I'm so far very pleased with the device. Every time I look at the Oregon it's not clear to me how I could live with this small, dark display ...
Unfortunately, the Montana with FW 3.60 still has some bugs (I also reported them to Garmin (MontanaBeta@garmin.com):
1. Height differences are added up incorrectly. It will be shown twice as many meters in ascent and descent as it should be. It seems like the Montana adding the descent also to the ascent. (See picture)
2. The trip computer/odometer always displays a distance about 10-12% too long.
3. The Navi-mode "nüvi" view is very slow (takes a long time to start recalculation, turns are no longer updated) when the logging is set to "Automatic" -> "often" or "very often". If the logging is switched to "normal" nüvi works well again.
4. Now and then a complete system crash occures when e.g. scrolling in the altimeter screen.
5. The summary-view on top of the altimeter jumps back and forth (see picture).
6. If a waypoint is created in BaseCamp with an approximity-alarm and this point is then transferred to the Montana the approximity-alarm is lost.
7. Endless boot-crash loop when a routing is started and, by accident, two routable maps are active (e.g., "City Navigator Europe" and "Topo Germany 2010"). Only a hard reset brought my Montana back to life.
8. Nice to have: If you navigate with a track it's never clear in which direction the track points. Small arrows on the track would be very helpful!
I hope Garmin can fix this bug in an upcoming firmware update.

I have the same problem. The trip-odo always shows about 10-12% more than the real distance was.
I reported the bug to MontanaBeta@garmin.com, please do the same.
