Is there a PC app that will allow planning/plotting/waypoints and then upload to Montana?

Yes. I use Terrain Navigator Pro by MyTopo, a Trimble company. It is not free. You might also create a route on Google earth and save .kml file. Then use DNRGPS (which is free) to open. Then save as .gpx file and copy over to Montana.

I have not tried to sync with MapMyRun, so, not sure if that works. The software includes a local application as well as upload to the Garmin site, watch has wireless connection to PC via ANT USB stick for all tracking data

Yes, I am currently running the Birdseye on my device. If I were to do it all again, I would have bought the bigger Oregon or Montana unit. I love the GPSmap62, but the screen is a bit small to make birdseye very very useful. Its ok on the GPSmap but would be stellar on the larger screen.

I do add waypoints on the PC (MapSource) software and then download to the GPS device. I have not tried adding routes. I remember trying it once and found it difficult. You can add waypoints right on the device ahead of time but as I remember it was not very intuitive. That said, nothing about the software and maps was very intuitive. However, adding waypoints while hiking is easy. I can download quite a bit of the map onto my 60CSx but it takes a very long time so I limit it to the areas I am most interested in.

This has maps of my area, so I would say yes. Also, u can download maps to your computer and upload them to the Garmin.

Hi, you should download the DashCmd and EOBD - Facile application for IOS before hand. Cheers,

This can be used world-wide if you buy the additional City Navigator maps for your country or region. I'm from Belgium and purchased the City Navigator Europe NT with it on micro SD card. Take a look http://sites.garmin.com/montana/ for additional information.

Yes. There are multiple ways to do this, but one good way is to set up an account at RideWithGPS, use their web interface to draw the route, and download the route into your device.

Sorry for the late reply, I just got my 1450. I use Garmin's Mapsource trip/route planning software. I've been using it for over 3 yrs to plan routes with various Garmin's and it works great! you can zoom way out or in very close, click on the road you want to be on, zoom out and click the next. You can insert waypoints etc. When we plan a trip I always plan it with Mapsource.

The Cycle map is detailed enough for navigation for the riding that I do. It also contains a POI database, but I have not investigated that too extensively. What type of detail are you looking for?

Absolutely. In fact, that is pretty much what you are paying for. You can enter coordinates in any of several different formats, and the device will lead you in a straight line to that location. But be advised, you will have to pay extra to download that pretty map they show in the picture.

Any app that can manage your geolocalisation : all maps , ullmon , even Lufthansa LIDO , probably Jeppesen charts . Super simple to use

Hi, The options for this GPS are amazing. I only use as a backup to navigate on the water and it never fails me. Topography is not something that I have ever used the Garmin Montana for. I hope my answer helped. Capt. M. Price

I use runkeeper and mapmyrun. They both give calories burned; however, the purchased app gives more functions.

do a search on how to do your routes with google maps then import them to the device.
