+WalkDMC! Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you've got a Garmin Montana (I've got a 650t) take care with the latest software update. It all looks good until you try and view a Geocache description and then the unit hangs. I'm just testing what I hope to be a work around that fixes the issue, I'll post back with details if it works! WalkDMC! aka Dean Quote Link to comment
+WalkDMC! Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 This is the same issue as the GPX corruption issues. Connect the GPS to your computer and open the internal storage drive. Open Garmin -> GPX -> Delete any Geocache GPX files Open the Current Folder Delete any Geocache GPX files Add your Geocaching GPX files (using GSAK etc) Eject the Montana This *should* fix the issue! Good Luck! WalkDMC! aka Dean Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Nothing new I have had that problem ever since I bought mine long ago. It seems to get worse as the battery gets weak. Don't really understand since all my files are from GSAK so why sometimes and not others. Quote Link to comment
+WalkDMC! Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Walts Hunting - I had that problem for a few days. After a bit or research I found the fix below, where you delete all of the GPX files in current. From what I found, the Montana checks if a new GPX file has been loaded and then indexes it and moves it to the current folder. If you delete both and then restart it can fix the issue. This worked for me and I haven't had the issue since. I use Lignumaqua Garmin Export macro - http://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=7745&st=40entry189420 - which does support the Montana. That seems to be a little more stable than the default export on GSAK. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I delete current every time I load up a new PQ which is every time I go caching. Quote Link to comment
+Gushoneybun Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 No issues for me. As has been mentioned its always worth refreshing pq's. Quote Link to comment
