Montana vibration problem


rws

Recommended Posts

I have my Montana 600 mounted to the handlebar riser on a snowmobile and encountered a problem I never had with any other GPS (GPS lll Plus, 176, 276c and 620)I've run on sleds. At idle the unit vibrates slightly causing the map to spin. If I hold the unit solid or shut the machine off..no spin. I was thinking maybe the vibration was causing the units sensor to try switch between landscape or portrait but locking it into landscape didn't help.

 

Anyone else run into this?

If you're sure you had it locked in Landscape mode I would take a short video clip of you setting the unit to "Landscape Mode" and then immediately show the unit acting up. Send the video to the Montana beta team and let them take a look.

 

With the unit in Landscape lock it simply shouldn't act the way you're describing.

I'll do that and report back.

I had a similar problem with mine on my handlebars although I keep mine in portrait mode. Locking it into portrait mode fixed the problem.
