[QUOTE="Checkswrecks, post: 953489, member: 3536"] I'm with Yamafitter on liking the Montana 600. I absolutely never use GPS audio directions and get my music elsewhere, which to me were the draws for the Zumos. Meanwhile, the Montana was intentionally made to be a chameleon to be able to go from motorcycle use to hiking, kayaking, sailing, etc. I'm still getting used to it and keep getting surprised by new features. Download a different set of maps and go. Basecamp takes some learning but works. Plus, just like an ipad, you can use it landscape or portrait. Track log? Native. Don't want to pay for City Nav? (I did for the lack of hassle.) Download from OpenStreetMap.org Like the simplicity of the Garmin Nuvi line? There is a single selection that will make the display and interface emulate a Nuvi. Off the bike, when the lithium battery finally dies it will take 3 AA batteries that I can buy anywhere in the world. And after my p.o.s. Nuvi, I can SEE this screen in the day light! The thing doesn't have the svelt look of the Zumo 665 that is mandatory for use on a FJR :P , but on a Super Tenere it rocks! [/QUOTE]
