First they blamed it on the sd card, replaced the sd card same results. The response time and request for pictures is insane, it's like they don't want you to buy anymore of their products. It's at the point that they've extended an offer to get the next generation which cost even more than the previous.

• Sorry I have to disagree with you on that. My older Nuvis have a standard SD card slot, on those units the pins face to the back. On my newer 2460 using the micro SD card the pins face to the front. The first time I tried inserting the micro SD card in the 2460 I faced the pins to the back out of shear habit. Fortunately I did no damage.

• I did a search here without much success as I need to learn what this search engine wants entered for best results. I did a Google search 'how do i free up memory on my garmin nuvi' and found the right answer previously discussed right here on this forum. I first copied the folder to my computer then I removed all but the American English voices and Help files and cleared 285mb of internal memory. Now I am going to read and find out how to move the Garmin Map to the SD card in a manner that doesn't create a nightmare with the Garmin (I hope). I am aware that when downloading a new map version and there is not enough room to do so on the Garmin it will ask me then where I wish to install it but I would like to find a way prior to that time if possible.
  If anyone can point me in the right direction please do.
• Have a look at this sticky that explains how to make more space for a map update . Follow the link to Lilla's tutorials, they explain how to split maps between your GPS and a card. While Lilla writes about a 1490 the method applies equally to all Garmin nuvis.

  Thank you sussamb! I briefly looked over the links information. Looks pretty in-depth so I am saving it for a time this week when I can spend time pouring over the information there.
  I do appreciate your help

• when the Garmin internal memory gets full will it automatically start storing on the memory card or is it just going to start messing up?

  I'm not sure what 'it' means in your question. Aside from recording tracks, the memory is generally being filled by 'you' instead of 'it'. In other words, memory is being filled by an operation that you initiate, such as the download of a map update, or adding junction views, POI's, etc.
  But a card is treated just like an external disk on your computer - additional mass storage that can be used if you specifically put something there. It isn't an extension of internal storage. So if you do fill the internal memory then problems will arise, just like what would happen if you fill the internal hard drive on your computer.

  I meant when adding and saving an address on the Garmin itself. I added 8 and it only had 69mb of internal memory left. Let's say I was adding more and the internal memory became full, would the Garmin automatically start adding them on the SD Card, wouldn't allow you to add any more via the Garmin (not externally) or would it hang up?
• Adding favourites takes up very little room, my current.gpx file that contains all my favourites, routes etc is only just over 1Mb.
  What will make the difference are the sort of things that Boyd has already pointed out :wink:
• Thank you Boyd. That answered my question. I just wanted to clarify my thoughts.
  You guys are the greatest and I appreciate your immense help.

• Does look an interesting beast, especially with some buttons for the bikes, 5000mah battery life looks good though no glonass. Trans-reflective but how sunlight readable?
  Wish we could find out a bit more about it as I'm loath to spend several hundred pounds on yet another speculative top end unit

  Which model were you looking at? The Trail2 that I linked to has both glonass and galileo support. I did a quick Google search and found several videos, including a long one showing the screen during a bike ride.
  Not sure whether I will get one or not. I honestly don't have as much need as I used to, and am going to need to replace my phone before long. But it sure would be nice if Garmin had some real competition.

  Same here otherwise rugged Phone is being used more as I no longer trust the routing on my Drivesmart, Montana on the handlebars still as the 276CX has never reached my expectations of the device, but also have mount for the phone now
• edited December 2019

  Oh, I see.. wow that is rather expensive. Looks like the same hardware as the previous 2018 generation 'Trail' device, with a joystick
  https://www.twonav.com/en/outlet/trail-orange
  I'm still quite happy with my DriveTrack 71 and its 7' screen in the car, using my own maps of aerial imagery overlaid with roads. http://forums.gpsreview.net/discussion/31309/the-drivetrack-71-garmin-s-coolest-model-you-ve-never-heard-of
  So the only thing that interests me is a dedicated handheld for hiking. But, since my home is out in the woods, I find myself spending more and more time just wandering around here and rarely bring a GPS for that. The Oregon 700 has been on sale for $280 recently, which is one of the better deals I've seen for a top Garmin product, but I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger. A 240x400 screen is ridiculous in 2020, and Garmin makes it much too hard to use your own maps.
  
• BTW, this has to be the strangest commercial I've ever seen for a GPS. There are no shots of a GPS in the whole video, no indication of why their products are the best.. or even why you need GPS.

  Still on the fence about this.. Here are some additional thoughts regarding the Trail2.
  I suppose the TwoNav Aventura is a closer match for the Garmin Montana, it has a replaceable battery and memory card slot that the Trail2 does not have. Costs about $100 more than the Trail2, but it's an older hardware, without GLONASS or Galileo (as Chris pointed out). Also heavier and thicker than the Trail2
  https://www.twonav.com/en/gps/aventura
  I think the built-in battery on the Trail2 would be sufficient for my own typical activites -5 or 6 hours is usually the most I need, and the Trail2 is rated at 20 hours. But I will miss having a memory card slot, the Trail2 has 16gb internal but only 12gb is available for maps. And raster imagery takes a lot of space.
  I scaled images of the Montana and Trail2 for comparison. Overall, it's certainly smaller - although a bit wider - than the Montana. I think a 4:3 screen makes a lot of sense for viewing a map but 16:9 is probably more comfortable in the hand.
  There doesn't seem to be anyway to attach a clip or carabiner to the Trail2. They have a case that looks pretty nice though, on sale for about $16, so I need to include that in the overall cost.
  https://www.twonav.com/en/accessories/case-l-aventura-trail
  TwoNav has a video of the Trail2 here. The user interface is really very similar to their smartphone app.
  
  Sent some questions to TwoNav via the form on their website on Wednesday, still no response. This post might be a concern regarding support/repairs. However, he is trying to repair a screen that he broke himself. In a case like that, I would probably figure it wasn't worth the effort of an international repair. But Garmin certainly has an advantage when it comes the repairs/warranty in the US

  The Black Friday sale prices are only good for one more day, so I need to decide soon. I see that GPSCity is listing the Montana 610 for $330, which is about the same price (currently out of stock, with more coming next week). Just not very excited about getting another Montana though.
  
• Just go for it Boyd! You know you are itching for a new device to play with ;)
• edited December 2019

  LOL :))
  Yeah, it's tempting to buy on impulse. I used to do that a lot when I was working fulltime. But retired, with more money going out than coming in, I'm a bit more restrained. Am actually leaning against it right now. Only 12gb of available memory is going to be a big limitation for the maps I make - this one only covers Southern New Jersey and is 11.9gb, for example. https://boydsmaps.com/boyds-map-of-the-pines-hd/
  And aside from that, I don't really *need* it, not planning on going anywhere this winter. Am also curious as to when Garmin will introduce a touchscreen device with features similar to the GPSMap 66. Of course, that is going to be more than I want to spend though, and we all know what it's like to be an early adopter with Garmin. :O)
  Also a bit put-off by the support issues raised in the link I posted, especially the part about TwoNav being very slow to respond - which is reinforced by the questions I sent them that still haven't been answered after three days. I mean.. what if it arrives broken in the box? Could be a big hassle just to deal with something like that which would be a no-brainer with a US company..
  Will kick the idea around a little longer, the sale lasts until tomorrow afternoon. Why don't you buy one Alan? Seems to me you have some kind of orphaned handheld, don't you?
• edited December 2019

  Not gonna do it, will save my money for 'the next big thing'. Looking at the Black Friday sale prices on current Garmin handhelds, TwoNav doesn't look like as good of a deal as I initially thought. If it were $200, or if they were selling on Amazon.. or even if they had answered my e-mail, then I might have gone for it though.

• LOL :))

  On the other hand, when there are many superiors, every superior would like his orders to be given priority. Fayol principles of management pdf.

This ego problem creates a possibility of clash. He thus finds himself in a confused situation.Such a situation adversely affects the efficiency of the subordinates.

  Ha Ha! Yes, more than one counting the Lowrance Endura Sierra and Garmin Oregon 550 (not to mention the Bosch Nyon on my ebike). The Endura no longer has a working power button. You have to connect to USB power to turn it on, then make sure to turn off sleep and power saving features so it doesn't shut itself down while in use. But even with that, another device is the last thing I need.
  
• The molded plastic power button on my Montana cracked and eventually fell off, leaving a hole in the case where you can see the circuit board inside - evidently this is a common problem. But you can still turn it on and off by poking the switch mechanism inside with a stick. So I'm a little better off than your Endura in that regard. I can use a piece of tape to cover the hole after turning it on, LOL. Same thing happened to a friend and Garmin replaced it with a refurb off-warranty for something like $130, which is probably the best solution if I actually needed a new GPS.
  Guess I'll just continue to use it this way, or use my 4-year-old iPhone (which has limited battery life). Let's see whether Garmin comes out with a new touchscreen to replace the aging Montana. Will probably be too expensive though.

  My 3.5 year old iPhone also has a weak battery. I went into an Apple Store the other day and was going to have the battery replaced for $49. An hour later the tech said they saw some internal damage to the antenna. (That's a mystery to me.) So they replaced the phone with a new one (refurb, probably) for $49.

  Well, TwoNav never answered the questions I sent them, but they have been generous with spam about all their holiday sales. Still trying to figure this one out.. special Christmas offer, regular price $365 now only $398! :O) On Black Friday, it said the regular price was $365 and sale price was $310.
  
• edited December 2019

  Got an e-mail today from TwoNav with a 10% discount code. The current price for the Trail2 is $329.. their prices sure have some ups and downs. But with the 10% discount, that would take it down to $296 which is best I've seen (the Black Friday special was $310).
  Still not buyiing, but it would have been worth the wait if I was. If anyone else is interested, this 10% discount code is supposed to be good for any of their products
  TRY852
  I'll see what Garmin has to offer at CES, which is less than two weeks away. Maybe there will be a new Montana with a capacitive screen? Or maybe not. ;)
  Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays, and here's to the new year!!
• Got another e-mail advertising a sale with 'UP TO 35% DISCOUNT' today. Went to their site and saw that the Trail2 price has actually gone UP to $368, which is a 12% increase over the previous price of $329 and a 24% increase over the previous sale price of $296.
  OK, that's enough, their e-mails are now going to my spam folder. CES starts tomorrow, maybe Garmin will have something interesting, although I'm not holding my breath for it ;)
