Montana Operating Instructions

[Derick]

Hi,

I am starting this thread to list FAQ's or just some interesting stuff.

You need to setup the "Enabled" mapsets on each profile. Eg. Recreational and Automotive can be configured to use different mapsets.

You can set the Volume of the Montana when mounted in the Auto Mount by clicking the "Power" button. It will then show you the brightness and volume slider. It will only show the brightness button when not mounted.

I will keep adding to this list as I encounter more.

Regards,
Derick

Thanks Derick.

I will be popping in to read here every so often.

Haven't had time yet to take the 600 outside to the vehicle since acquiring it, but today is still young, so......

Yep, as posted in the Firmware Forum on Aug 30th, '12, 20:27.
Any discussion of the Firmware to be conducted over HERE as duplicate postings lead to unnecessary cross-reference replies.

Browsed around there and it seems to be quite informative.
