Potentially great.....but Reviewed By Brian, 18 May 2012

This is pretty pretty much the gps unit that does everything. I've cycled with it walked with it and used it for driving gps and as a speedo when mine packed up. I haven't had too much problems with the interface but admit i haven't delved into some of the more complex parts of the system yet. However, unlike my other Garmin GPS units this has been very unreliable. The touch screen became unresponsive in certain areas and the unit had to be replaced. The one i have now has taken to switching itself off then back on at random ,but frequent, intervals. Not what i expect from a system of this cost and certainly not from Garmin

so different Reviewed By trevor, 09 Aug 2011

I admit that the unit takes a little getting use to after convential units but once you start to understand how it takes some beeting.

Gone is the create a waypoin at every turn simply
enter a couple close then use the map to sort out the footpaths. The detail they managed to put in to the gb map with the 4" viewing screen is unbelieveable.use direct route, and learn how good it is. lock the screen toprevent the garmin accidently bringing up waypoints you dont want.
switch to compas for tacking down geocaches.

Still the learning curve is quite hard if you try to use as an extrect, i tried that it dont work the same way.

Geowhee

Steer clear! Reviewed By Steve, 20 Jul 2011

So far I'm really wishing I had followed the salesmans advice and bought a Satmap instead. It's looking like this will be a very expensive purchase just to sit in the original box. It's not intuative at all, if you expect the same quality of touch screen operation as an iPhone then forget it. Its not responsive and acts almost how and when it feels like it. The operation is extremely puzzling, perhaps when I've spent hours and hours playing with it I might even be able to use it. I'm following the instructions (which you have to download) word for word and mine doesnt work as the book says it should. All in all extremely disappointed.

Comparative vs. Satmap Active 10 Reviewed By David, 09 Jul 2011

Couple of years ago I bought a Satmap GPS over Garmin Oregon 450 primarily based on overall screen size (eyesight is not what it used to be so the more screen estate the better).

Whilst the Satmap has been a faithful servant the launch of the Garmin Montana 600 sees many of my wishes answered.

Full Uk mapping included in this bundle at a fair price (esp. given 10% off with Cotswold membership card offer in play).

Has large screen and simpler, less fussy design and functionality than Satmap which is beginning to feel like it needs an updated model / refresh.

3 axis compass is very accurate and stable regardless of how you hold this unit (2 axis on Satmap has always been jumpy unless held dead flat).

Garmin Montana is frighteningly quick at picking up and holding GPS signals based on early useage - it even works indoors. Have had issues in Keswick collecting GPS wth Satmap and occasionally dropping signals so this is good news.

Ability to use Montana as a proper car SatNav with inbuilt aka Nuvi is also a bonus.

Battery change capability is better than in Satmap - especially if power becomes an issue on a cold wet day. No complex removal of battery cradles to accommodate a different type of battery here.

Make no mistake though, this is a big beastie with its 4 inch screen (same width but 1/2 inch longer than Satmap and almost twice as big as an Oregon). It is also pretty bulky front-to-back but feels ok in the hand and is certainly robust.

Needs more accessory support - no dedicated lanyard or belt clip / carabina (exist for Oregon and Dakota models). Have cobbled something myself for now pending this no doubt coming through.

Free Garmin Basecamp software for route planning is OK although could do with polishing. Accepts imports from other sources (e.g. gpx files) which is handy. Good enough for me to use and drop Mapyx Quo. Either is better than Satmap's (paid for in my case) solution.

As with Oregon / Dakota screen touchscreen is perhaps slightly slow to respond - sometimes needs a second prod. Redraws when panning are not so adept as the Satmap. However, all in I am very happy with the unit from early use.

Service from Cotswold Bristol branch also typically good.
