    This bug is installed since 3.20 - still on 3.30

     

    Set montana (650t) to recreational profile

    set montana to fixed landscape mode

    use with gps off (DEMO MODE)

    !!! CORRECT on main screen: left side buttons, RIGHT side time/signal/batterie, date

     

    search recent find - GO - DIRECT ROUTING - MOVE TO LOCATION

    leave map and go to start-screen

    NOW: !!! FALSE on main screen: left side buttons, LEFT side time/signal/batterie, date (BUTTONS AND SIGNAL/DATE_INFO are at SAME PLACE)

    can anyone confirm this bug:

    only 150 meters away from the target

    but showing 5414 km (!!!)

    Meanwhile, Garmin told me, that they can confirm this bug. (also reported from different users)

    But they need to reproduce this bug, and have therefore problems.

    Does anyone know, how to reproduce this bug?

    Thank's for the pic. Good luck!

    I am sure, you will get a completely new unit. (not only a new screen).

    My 650t has best reception - also under heavy tree cover compared to these other units.

    This pic is in sun and no heavy tree cover (waited about 7 minutes after starting the units):

    Best reception ever. (only my old 60csx might have the same excellent reception)

    Yes, but also your trick (I always depress the power button for a few seconds with the battery out to discharge any remaining power) did not help to reanimate the montana - only 4 hours of waiting.

    It happened after i wanted to check the version and the unit crashed. (i tested it for 3 times, and then the power button did not work any longer).

    Sometime you can get the software-version without a crash, sometimes not. (i wanted to see if there is a spezific crash-structure)

    ... I just did and it hung the machine so hard even the power button wouldn't work, and I had to remove the battery to recover from it.

    If this might not help, remove the battery for 4 hours!!!

    I had already the problem that the unit could not boot and the battery was removed for 10 minutes!!!

    Removing the battery for 4 hours and it worked again!

    Me: "Why oh why did I trust Garmin again to do it right with a new unit?"

     

    It seems MontanaBeta@garmin.com has gone silent, too. I have sent them regular updates and they responded the first couple times, but no more. I like to hope they are too busy fixing the problems to respond, but there's been no evidence of that so far.

     

    Well, they did fix the compass calibration issue.

    Yes, i also got email-response for my first mail.

    But no response for the other bugmails.

    Maybe they are on holiday? :rolleyes:
