Thread: Garmin Montana 700

Hey Guys,

Had a quick look at the Montana 700 the other day (no inreach or camera) - considering an upgrade.

Just wondered if anyone on this forum has been using one and how good they are?

I have the 680t at the moment which is great and I am a big fan of it. I also use a Fenix 6x watch which is handy when carrying an animal not having to get the GPS out all the time to see where you are at.

My biggest question is how compatible the 700 is with a Garmin Fenix 6x watch and smartphone - be great if they all linked up.

I note the 680t is not compatible with the Garmin Explore app on my phone, where as the Fenix 6x is and so is the 700.

Be great if someone else out there uses all of this tech like I plan to

Cheers in advance.
Al

Looking at the Spec here I'd say there's a very high likelihood of it being compatible: https://www.gpsrchive.com/Montana%207x0/index.htm

The Montana section of the discussion forum would be a good place to ask: https://www.gpsrchive.com/Discussion/viewforum.php?f=66

Another good place to see the current issues - Garmin sometimes make update software that creates problems - is their own forum - based on inReach devices but still very applicable: https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-re...tana-700i-750i
