OS Maps now included on an offer from GPS Training
https://gpstraining.co.uk/collectio...cts/garmin-montana-700?variant=37921132183723
This is for the 700 but I guess the same applies to 700i as well
It doesn’t
£100 extra for maps = £699
Tempted, but still no full postcode search makes it unpractical for normal road use. Especially a to b navigation.
I thought Berin said that with latest software 8.2, it had 6 character postcode searches
So there you have it JB. 700i for off-road and you can keep your Navigator III for on-road.
Not so fast, young fella me lad
Other considerations are I don’t necessarily want 2 Navs on the bike
Battery unit life on a 700i, as one bike has no battery power - it’s direct power only
2610/Nav 2&3 are still fine for road routing on the GS Adv
I might look at a SatMap 20 for OS mapping in uk
and a Zumo XT for the Tenere 700 for uk and Europe road riding and it will do gpx sourced off road Topo mapped routes in Europe like the TET tracks or the Tourenfahrer one of Spain with on/off-road on it
XT is half the price of a 700i too, once you factor the extra in for another £90 for bike & £90 for car mounts, plus £20 for a mains charging plug - even with the current £600 700i offer, with included 1:50 OS mapping
Maybe the XT can handle osm maps for uk to show off-road routing in some form or other
For £700-£800 spent on a 700i with all the extra kit and caboodle-you can have a Zumo XT for the Tenere 700 and a 10 hour battery life SatMap 20 for the enduro bike

Does the Montana now have a working six digit postcode ?
I bought my 700i and powered bike mount from GPS Training a month or so ago. Can’t fault the company, very helpful plus you get a series of online video tutorials specifically for your unit which you can access at your leisure to jog your memory when you have a brain fart and forget some of the many features it offers.
Yes, that’s where I got mine, highly recommended. They don’t know much about using them for motorbikes, though, nonetheless their tutorials are very good
