Not compatible with the GPSMAP 60SCx, sorry.

The truth is that it does not know where you are. If it is working, it has the ability to determine where it is. You, on the other hand, will have go by it's solution to determine where you are, but it won't ever know where you are, even the one's with built in cameras.

Hi LadyBee4T, I have a very specific question for you or anyone else who can answer it. I have searched and it appears that the Montana is pretty good in bright sunlight but I'm looking for the answer for a much more specific case. For the record, I have the same issues many have described: aging eyes. I should also mention that I'm a long-time Garmin user, starting with the iQue 3600, Mobile XT on my Palm smartphone, Mobile PC on my laptops and netbook, a couple of Nuvis and the next two... I have an eTrex Legend HCx and a Garmin Approach G6. Both are really good in bright sunlight to the point that when I'm outdoors I rarely turn the backlight on on either of them unless it's a really dark day (heavy-overcast-in-deep-forest dark). Thus I get incredible battery life on both. However, although the eTrex still works well and serves all my functional needs, I find increasingly that I'm having a difficult time reading that teensy screen. Especially on my motorcycle and mountain bike where holding it closer to my face is not an option. After much research I've come to the conclusion that the Montana would allow me to pass my eTrex and my Nuvi 765T and my little Canon digital camera on to someone else. The only concern I have is whether the screen will get it done for me. I'm hoping that there are many former eTrex users who have now moved to the Montana. So... My very specific question is: When compared specifically to the last generation eTrex models (eg. Legend HCx, Vista HCx, Venture HC) or the Approach G6, is the Montana 6xx screen at least as readable in bright sunlight with the backlight off? ...ken... Yes, it's more readable than those

Now that you've had it a few days -- how does the GPS seem compared to earlier ones? Any noticeable difference? Hard for me to say as I haven't used one of the earlier ones. The GPS worked fine this past weekend for driving directions during Carmageddon II

Cacheoholic, what exactly are you right clicking on a Mac to extract a pq? I timed opening BaseCamp on my Mac and it took 9 seconds. I really don't believe you've ever used BaseCamp for Macintosh from your posts. In any case, waiting for a fresh pq of hundreds of cashes to have 100% up to date data is a waist of time when you only need the 10 caches you are going to hunt updated. The are more that one way to skin a cat, you needn't be an elitest and think your way is the only way. The OP asked, one can assume that's the into they want.

Well yes as BaseCamp will manage pq's and allow you to delete individual caches as well as many other tasks on a Macintosh. Plus the Mac version works so much better than the Windows version…

d'oh, yes, missed this: Yes, three of them. 2x16gb & 1x32gb

Works fine on my Mac… link

i just checked out downtown Portland in hybrid mode and the 3D buildings looks real cool. Never seen that with google maps. Stop by the App Store and dl google earth then you can have both.

My 3 showed up today. Playing with one a bit it seems pretty nice. I like the Maps app in iOS6.

Looks like you got you wish with that USB cable dream.

It's about $25 on Amazon, shop around

Ordered 3 of them yesterday and should have them in hand on or about the 21st. Will see how they fair then.

All I've seen is Apple's site lists the tech spec on the iPhone 5 as: GPS/GLONASS.

WebUpdater worked fine for me.

I also checked this in the other direction sending from the Montana to the Oregon and it worked flawlessly, Waypoinrs, tracks, etc.

There isn't a USB mode to find, just open the pq in MapSource or BaseCamp and plug in the gps, then use the send function to send the data to the gps

You need to be a premium member to get the cache description on you gps.

I just sent 2 waypoints and then 5 geocashes from an Oregon 450 to a Montana 650t and it worked flawlessly. Generally just use the Ant+ for sensors so thanks for reminding me of this feature, I'll be using it a lot I would think.

If Oregon users are not going to discuss the Tempe sensor or Adventures (the two changes this update enabled) they need to start their our thread. Tracking changes happened several generations ago and are off topic to this update and this is in no way a Montana thread.

3.20 is the current unit software: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=301054&pid=5110591&st=0entry5110591

But you do have to have at least one Adventure on your gps for the "Adventure" category to be added to the "Where To" element. Yes, you will need to add one to be able to "Go To", kind of like geocaches. It's hard to navigate to a place you haven't the data for.

MapSource has been shelved for BaseCamp, it work effortly with the 62 series.

With the Vista HCx you don't use USB MASS Storage mode if you want to send geocaches to the unit. It won't read them off the datacard. Also, you GPS won't mount on your desktop. All you do is plug it in and the you use MapSource, Garmin Communicator or gsak to send directly the cache to the GPS.
