Garmin® Training Video - Montana® 700 700i 750i: Everything you need to know 

This is the Ferrari of GPS units. More than I could have asked for... checks every single box for me. It's like they truly listened to diehard hikers and just jammed in every feature they wanted. The InReach integration is killer. No brainer purchase.

Finally!!!! Been waiting for this like forever.

..this is the one I've been waiting years for... knocks it all out of the park.

Fine finally something with a large screen that doesn't look like a flip phone,,, good job

I currently own the Garmin InReach Explorer+ and the Oregon 750. Less than two hours after the e-mail from Garmin announcing the Montana 700 series, I ordered the Montana 750i from the Garmin store. Two birds. One stone. Thanks! :-) I still need to figure how to carry it. I've been attaching the InReach to a daisy chain on my pack's left shoulder strap and the Oregon to a pouch on my belt. I'd like to attach the Montana in a similar way to the InReach, which hangs from a carabiner. I hope I can receive the unit before the start of my Monday-Wednesday hike in Yosemite, but I'm sure to have it by the time I do Whitney and Langley again late this month or early next.

I wish I had known this was coming. I just replaced my Montana 610 with the Zumo XT. I should have waited for this.

My 700i will arrive in two days, I look forward to learning how to use this, it’ll be my first device of this type

I'm very excited about this new model, but I'm curious to know if it has the same bugs as the old Montana and 276CX. Specifically, will the active track disappear when track log is full and it auto-archives? The Wrap feature from the old 276 should never have been eleminated. Secondly, when mounted on a snowmobile or ATV, will the vibrations cause the maps to dance around? Both my Montana and my 276CX are frustrating to use because when the sled or atv are idling the maps are constantly shifting. My old 276 never did that at all.

Probably me, I down loaded and printed the 750i manual, but navigating the manual is not exactly easy to navigate. Subscribed and liked, is there some training videos that go through this Montana 750i step by step for the slow learners?

Just got mine Matt.. lots of camp do this and that but why didn’t you show us how to. Please try again I’m ready to start using it but lots of questions. Thank you

Nice!

Does the basic WX plan provide real time audible screen alerts for severe WX (severe thunderstorms, flash floods, wild fire, tornadoes) ?

Can you customize the icons at the bottom? Any other menus for the inReach?

What are the various colors and associated models? I saw white, orange, and black mounts in the video...

This video is good at telling you what the features are, but I came to this hoping to get instruction on how to use the device (since we all know the instructions on Garmin products are hard to follow LOL). The title is misleading. Excited to use this device out snowmachining in the Alaskan mountains.

Already bought montana 750i, i hope soon get map update for Asean Country, especially Indonesia

im hoping for a home run here for my snowmobiling trips. will i need specific state trail maps for the 750i ? or are they pre downloaded? I searched for many others but i ended up buying this. i got the power pack as well as i have plug in power port on my machine

410g is a lot to justify this as a hiking device, also, for the price I would expect minimum 32GB / USB-C + QC / 4K mAh battery / 12 MP cam. SIM option would be nice....

I have more GPS receivers than I can count, starting with my Garmin eTrex Legend back in the day. Used to teach the "Map Interpretation and GPS" class at my local community college. Retired now, and thought that I purchased my last GPS receiver when I got a Montana 680t the other year. Nope! Because of my solo wanderings in the mountains of North Idaho, have been told to get an inReach. Costco is currently selling the inReach Mini and while researching it, stumbled upon the Montana 750i. Now on my Black Friday wish list. Anybody want to buy a used Montana 680t?

Is this gps good for Europe if not which one is I’m looking for something that is good for walking,highking, bicycling,atv,snowmobiling and is very very very user friendly . The only gps I’ve used is the one for vehicles

Does it have any bicycle specific tracking modes/functions/abilities? Can it sync to HR straps, Cadence, Speed or Fenix watches via BT or Ant+? Wonder if this computer would bridge the gap or serve as both general outdoor navigator and bicycle computer.

So question to you girls and guys at Garmin: do those units support the import of shaping points for route navigation, like the 276cx does? I guess it does not, because the old Montans don't do this either.

Nice video! Is there a successor to the 700 in sight by now?

Can it be used while charging ? Can I plug it into a power so ride on a sxs to keep the battery up ?

Now, just add the Rino capabilities, and I will be totally sold.

Hi, is there any way that Big Brother can monitor / track you using the Garmin Montana 700?

Would it be possible to get topo maps of middle eastern countries? thinking about taking one of these for primarily communication purposes during a deployment, but i would also like to have the topo maps of the area

Nice 😜✌️

Why am I not getting the same detailed mapping as him straight out of box. I did pair it with my phone upon initial setup and downloaded maps with the explore app. Did that only download it to the app, do I need to plug my montana into a computer an upgrade maps to get better quality. In the montana map settings it says I'm using TOPO Australia & NZ V6, but not getting as much detail on montana as I do on the explore app. I'm getting no roads etc. Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

Unfortunately, it’s not compatible with the OnX chip. I’m returning mine and waiting until this is sorted out

So how EXACTLY does one record where they have hiked? How are bread crumb trails laid on a Garmin Montana 750i? Step by step, how is where one has hiked recorded?

Would the touchscreen work in the wet? If not, no use for Britain.

The 700i and 750 i have driving maps preloaded. Does that mean the 700 cannot use them or you would have to just manually download them from somewhere?

I'd ditch my smartphone, if this could make calls and run the Connect app :-D

Can I type when screen is wet or will it be funky ?

Did not see any hiking video's on your website, dogs, golfing, driving, cycling, running but no hiking ones.

Was hoping to get an idea of the differences between the models.

If my friend and I both have these gps can we track each other? Say if we were in the wilderness and get separated and need to find each other.

Add an iridium-based sat phone feature to this and it would be the best!

Can you down load tracks a d navigate them turn for turn like the montana?

How about cold weather performance on snowmobile? Also wondering about blue charts for marine use?

What is the difference between 700/ 750 If buy this in Australia can I use the gps in Chile?

Hi Will the Garmin Varia rtl515 work with this unit?

Could I use it in EU, India, China and other countries? Are there downloadable charts for the whole world?

What is the "drug or dog tracking capabilities" you mention at 3:08?

Garmin Montana 750i கருவியை கடல் Marine basement rock , Coral reefs இருக்கும் இடங்களை பதிவு செய்து குறித்து கொள்ள முடியுமா ? (Marine GPS ஆக பயன்படுத்த முடியுமா ) இது குறித்து மேலதிக தகவல்கள் எனக்கு பயனுள்ளதாக இருக்கும்.

Hello!Does anyone know how much the deviation is?For example, if I mark a tree, will the navigation show that I arrived at that place at 1m or at 15-20m. I need great precision to hunt truffles at night.I used to have Etrex 30x and it showed me badly. Also my current location, on one side I am surrounded by a river and in order to change my position the river is always on the same side which it really isn't, the map didn't rotate at all?Thank you

Will this unit provide turn by turn directions via bluetooth?

Micro-USB instead of USB-C in top model in 2020???... really? Garmin, are you serious???

Can you control the Virb 360 with this unit?

Is there are any chance to upload maps for forestry needs?

Is that guy lost in his backyard?

Where can I find a comparison between this and the 66i?

hello, can you pin random point on this device without computer and than hike to that point... tnx

Bonjour, merci pour la video. J'habite en france , basque country Concernant le modele 750 i, pouvez vous me dire si pour la montagne et l'escalade il existe des itinéraires à télécharger avec les voies équipées et l'emplacement des spits sur ces voies ? Et pour la chasse sous marine à la palme, avec le gps sur une planche, pourrait on repérer des pierres, et avec quelle precision svp ? merci d'avance peyo

I guess it is finally time to upgrade from my eTrex. After 23 years of use, a cracked screen, and rubber buttons missing, the little bastard is still going.

Can the 750I send photos to the 700I?

But how is the touchscreen working when its raining?

Is there ASIAN map for the 700 series ??

Can you download Ridecommand (Polaris )

Is it waterproof?

this is a great motivational sales pitch....but...I have had a Montana 700 since Dec 20. To date I have not been able to use the device because of the following issues: - Device wont follow a simple route WP1 => WP2 =>WP3 etc - Compass freezes when moving - Device doesn't change from WP1 to WP2 when you get to WP1. - Compass screen doesn't calculate time to next WP and estimated time to the end point I have tried multiple things routeing setup, compass setup, compass calibration etc...even tried Ordinance Survey Garmin UK 25k maps Nothing seems to work. Have been trying everything that Garmin Support say, but nothing is working. Have you experienced anything like this or any of your followers? Really not impressed with this "high end" very expensive device.... Would love to hear back from you or anyone with similar issues. Maybe it is me...maybe I am being stupid....but I do have an old GPS Map 62s which works fine with routing and also a Fenix 6 x which also works... Any help appreciated. CDJewell

Can one operate it with any gloves?

Started with 12XL, then GPSmap76, GPSmap76sc, Montana 650, beta tested DeLorme PN series including PN60W with InReach messaging, and have the DeLorme InReach Explorer. Messaging and entering waypoint comments is extremely tedious on the Explorer or 66i series! I use the Montana for tracks & waypoints along with PN60W, (for backup track recording in more detail) for mapping bicycle trails/routes for my website and openstreetmap updates. I carry the Explorer whenever I may venture range out of cell phone range. (My Montana developed a hole over power button, no longer waterproof, and has a random shutdown issue when selecting waypoint symbol for change that no update has ever corrected.) The Montana 650 has survived a number of falls from mtb mount onto concrete and survived. Am finally considering an update, but its pricey!

Does it have downloadable game unit map overlays?

On 32GB capacity. I don’t think Garmin thought this one thru b4 launch

Is this product work in India?

What is "creating a wave point"?

How is the wifi?

What kind of constant power supply cradles are available for this unit? Looking to replace the Zumo XT on my motorcycle with this new unit!

This unit should have been released 5 years ago . The technology was well available 10 years ago . Not sure what the hold up was with incorporating gps mapping as well as communication via text in one unit. Hard to tell by this video... but I sure hope the resolution of the screen is on par with current smart phones . The Montana units that proceeded these ones had a grainy display like a digital camera had 20+ years ago . I’m not sure why all the most current and best technologies take so long to make their way to hand held gps units . This one looks like they may finally be catching up to what gps units should have already been .

I'm curious to know if this is a better option(750i) than the Overlander?

Can i add a marine map? Thank you

yea.. so what is the story with maps downloads and subscriptions? ta..

Do this gps can use mgrs

lol, ver el tiempo conectando al movil...lo miras desde el movil directamente.

More feature to drain battery better !

usb type c ？？？？？

vous ferez des vidéos en français ? ? ?

Touchscreen likely useless in mild to strong rain especially here in the Pacific North West.

I bought the 700i but I can’t take the cool 😎 mountain man 🧔‍♂️ background music 🎶 Call 📞 me old fashion but I just can’t do it! I will just have to figure the thing out myself!

They need a new CEO.

So I have to be connected to WiFi In the middle of nowhere to look at live radar. Someone didn’t think that through

I don't like Garmin mapping. It's rubbish if you want an accurate topological view of the landscape. Also is it fully compatible with Bssecamp? Previous Zumo devices weren't. You'd spend a lot of time in Bssecamp choosing suitable symbols for POIs, but after transferring your route to the Zumo all the POI symbols would be changed to one generic symbol making it impossible to distinguish them. Waste of time. I'd much rather use my Smartphone, much better screen and faster to use plus all the other things it can do.

Just don't get the Rugged Mount unless you want miles of complicated cabling that you CANNOT shorten.

wow, forget about the Micro USB, when spending $800, the device doesn't have a Solar powered Glass inbuilt for recharge option, calling itself an adventure companion. they have inbuilt Solar option with a Watch that never goes into sunlight but not on this "Adventure device". let know when it comes out with that option i be happy to spend $1000

this is not a training video it's a sales pitch.

Micro-USB.....seriously? This is a setback and very disappointing.....progress runs away from you, dear Garmin!

Make the entire Map the birds eye view an it would be worth it, the driving profile map is garbage.

This is a marketing video, not a training video.

Was hoping my photos would upload to my mapshare so fam can see what I see in Yellowstone. Nope! Huge disappointment

No OnX hunting????

No way to attach this to a carabiner ? Hmm, I have an inReach mini, and attach it to a carabiner, at one end, and a Retractable Lanyard, on the end. That way, I can pull the string on the retractable lanyard, and look at the inReach mini, and see my information. From what I can see, I cannot do that. Really annoying to pay more than $100 CAN for a device, and cannot attach it, for doing hiking. The video is showing someone doing hiking. Please Garmin, come up with a solution to attach this for a hiker. As of now, because of this, I will not buy it, I will stick with my inReach mini.

Does he really need a gps unit to navigate his back garden😂……

Next step full cell phone and app capability

Make a smaller version. This thing is way to big for hiking/hunting.

A non-replaceable internal battery instead of simple AA? No thanks. Seems like your designers have never been on a trip longer than a day hike.

What's the screen made out of? Seems like plastic opposed to gorilla glass... poor materials do not give me the confidence that a company is confident in their product. Hardware seems amazing, but I don't think I'm alone with people desiring quality materials.

Looks like this is what they should have released instead of the hunk of crap 66i Never buy another Garmin product after owning the 66i

Great review! 👎IMO, Garmin missed the boat! 👎 Buy a 700 dollar gps that you have to connect to your phone to use most of the top features! FAIL! I do not want to depend on my phone to use my gps device. Now I have to keep two devices charged when I am in the backwoods. Or, maybe I can just depend on my phone only!
