Love this GPS.
Great GPS. Much better than the old Garmin Montana 700 I had. Bigger screen and has a better grip. Not the fault of the GPS but OnX maps doesn't make a chip for hand held GPS anymore. 😡. Glad that they make a AA battery adapter backup for this GPS.

A good GPS
I've been known to go on long hikes and even backpacking by myself. My son has inherited that tendency, so several years ago I bought him a Garmin Montana. It heelps him find his way, and the inReach cpability lets his send messages to let people know he's OK. I had a smaller Garmin I've used for years, and a Spot that I carried for communication and emergencies. After looking at that nice big screen, I decided to make the switch. Yeah, it's a lot bigger than my old Garmin eTrex, but it also lets me communicate, and it gives me a good topo display. I've got the 24K-series chip with topos for Wa, Or, Ca & Hi. Works great: I live in Wa and my son lives in Ca. We usually meet somewhere in that region for backpacking trips, and most of my solo trips are in Wa or Or. I still carry a compass and a paper map, but it's great to be able to see the topography on the screen. I'm a little concerned about battery life. So far, it's worked pretty well on 2-3 day trips, but for a longer trips, I'd make sure to take a power bank to keep it charged. On a recent trip on the south side of the Wallowa Mtns, we also used it to find a route for the car. It sent us down a logging trail that was barely passable. Even a 4WD with good ground clearance would have had problems. In the future, I think I'll turn off the 24K maps when I'm driving.

Nice large screen and easy to use.
This gps acquires satellites very quickly. I love the large screen. Nice details. It's on the large and heavy side, but tolerable. My one small gripe is that it's easy to touch the screen in the wrong place by accident and get a page you didn't want. Easy to correct though. If you are like me and wanted a larger screen gps, this could be the one for you. Now that i am familiar with it's operation, it is fast and easy to use. I am 100% happy with it. I have not nor will I subscribe to the Inreach technology. Maybe the Montana 700 would have been better? Don't know.

Garmin cannot code their way out of a paper bag
I am on the verge of returning this. Garmin continues to have stellar hardware, but some of the worst software that money can buy. I thought I would give the Montana 700i a chance, but so far it's just as terrible as my Garmin 1030i bike computer that's navigation feature returns "Route Calculation Error" for literally every time I try and navigate with it, or my 920xt that could not track my freestyle laps in the pool correctly even with a warranty replacement. The Montana is missing some very basic features. It comes out of the box with only a tiny amount of memory available to save additional maps on, but its software can only handle a 32gb SD card. Already when downloading maps I've received four different errors not related to being out of room. The fifth time it froze up during the download. I really hate to imagine that people use Garmin devices in airplanes. Perhaps they are a bunch of private planes up there right now flying in circles with "Route Calculation Error" on their screen.Even their website doesn't work right. Note the screenshot. This was my first time ever logging into their Explore service. The fact it has a status message in the upper right is hilarious. I can imagine some upper manager saying "Let's put the user in charge of managing our severe lack of talent in software development". Of course even that indicator is broken, since I can't get past that error screen.Update: I’ve been using (paying for) their InReach satellite service. Others can receive my messages but I’ve yet to see replies they sent me, even when I was outside under a clear sky. Next to worthless.More: I downloaded maps ahead of time with the Maps Manager for my destination. When I got there, they weren’t visible at all. I switched between every layer and nothing.Fix your software, Garmin.Update: their updates make the product worse. The latest update I just received causes the button used to start tracking to no longer work. If you press it, it just sits there. Garmin, how about some basic regression testing?
