[Montana 650 - A few questions]

 

...to get audible spoken directions of ANY type you'll need to either purchase the Auto-mount or use headphones. The unit will not give you spoken directions by itself.

Let me add a third method to receive spoken directions in a vehicle:

 

If the vehicle has an AM/FM radio AND IF the radio has an external audio jack you can connect an audio cable between the Montana and the vehicle radio and hear the spoken GPS directions thru the vehicle's speakers.

Let me suggest a fourth method -- bring your wife along...better yet take mine...you'll get more directions in half a mile from my wife than you'll need for a thousand mile trek across the country.

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

In my part of Canada it's CHRISTMAS! MERRY CHRISTMAS to one and all.

[Don't get a ZAGG for the Garmin Montana]

Interesting -- thanks, I was thinking about getting one and was in fact looking at them yesterday and would have bought one, but Best Buy didn't have a custom fit for my Montana. Good to know!

[Garmin Montana FW 3.64 Beta]

Montana 650 using either Montana_363 or 364Beta software. From the ‘start page’ using key sequence >setup>profiles>3 horizontal bars>set mount profiles>selecting any of the four mount choices turns off the Montana 650.

 

This simply means that I cannot change 'Mount' preference. Has anyone else had this experience?

[Montana 650 charging question]

Spanner mode works great. Thanks for that.

Just one question -- Does it charge the batteries when in spanner mode or mass storage mode?
