Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
There was a question about sharing maps, unit to unit. Though you need to have the PC/Mac to interface, you can move the disc images from folder to folder. If you copy paste the disc.img file, from Garmin folder to Garmin folder, in each drive, it will work. Several things to know... There can't be ...

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
I don't know if you guys have the NW Trails maps on your Montanas. It has some pretty cool stuff, though most of it hiking trail. It does have some OHV trail including China Hat/Millican trails and Ukiah trails. Also the names or numbers of the system will show. I haven't looked at all of it but it ...

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
I recently mentioned I would share a few things I know about the mounts for our Montanas and hard wiring them. I have run 3 different Garmins, all hardwired to 3 different bikes. I have added un-switched auxiliary circuits and have a few preferences for fusing, wire size (built to use my trickle cha...

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
Grant stopped by the other night and we started BSing about the Montanas. One thing I started showing him but didn't get a chance to finish up on was the "Archiving" function of the Montanas. I was going to show him where it was in the set-up and then we got talking about something else. O...

Re: The 2016 Dog Face Dualsport-Adventure Ride Report, September 17!
I just watched the video. Nicely done and I'm loving your CCR soundtrack! Especially Ramble Tamble on the Minnehaha trail, both are top 3s for me... I thought Eric was riding an Aprilia like Byron's but luckily it was a Beta and somewhat lighter. Great team work with all involved, getting that bike ...

Very nice write up Tawm and as always GREAT pictures. I love the one with Eric trying to drag his Aprilia back up to the trail. Now to watch the video...

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
Good tips Tom! It seems like my battery charge icon has always showed by default... I'm wondering if our defaults are different? Maybe I had already enabled the Garmin Spanner... Also, on the Start-up screen, I have rewarded if found. Just thinking it might change someones mind. I also have my Orego...

Re: The 2016 Dog Face Dualsport-Adventure Ride, September 17 at Diamond Lake!
Great timing and a NICE write-up! I have been on part of the route you were talking about and at Olive Lake too! It was starting to rain and we were due to be in Ukiah before cocktail hour... We were late... Thanks Lee!

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
So here is something I like about the Montana. At first I wasn't sure about the touch screen and using it while riding, especially at speed on the road. The buttons on my 60CSx allowed you to change screens by feel, so as long as you could get a hand on it, you could toggle screens without completel...

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
The program aptly titled: GPX2IMG
Pretty easy to use. Simply import a .GPX file (ala TSF trails) and export it as a .IMG file, say TSF_Trails.IMG. Then simply copy and enable it on your Montana. It works great!

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
Tawm sez, That's one 'pain' with the Montana, or Garmin, I should say.: you have to individually enable each track log. Bogus! Contact Garmin and snivel at them about this lack-of feature. As a software option fix, this should be easy! The way to get around this is to take all the TSF trails and mak...

Hey Danno, that ramp you made on the windfall made it way too easy!

Re: Garmin Montana/Monterra Users
1st note; I'm starting an "Old School" e-mail thread for Garmin Montanas. This is for sharing tips, giving some of your personal preferences, helping others understand how to use these units more effectively, etc. So part of what got me thinking of this idea was; Dave came over to return a...
