Montana 610/680 Firmware 3.50

Released 16 OCT 19, available from the firmware page!

Please note all observations etc regarding this firmware release here!

Thank You!

Mine is a Monty 600, so nothing to report.

Is the 600 now obsolescent? No more support or updates?

When I recently used Garmin Express with my Montana 610, it tells me the software version is 3.50. However, when I go to Settings on my handheld and click on the About icon, it says the software is 3.60. Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a firmware 3.60 for the Montana 610?

Please enable screen captures on your Montana 6x0 (Setup > Display > Screen Capture > On) and share a screen capture of the Setup > About page showing version 3.60.

Please also send a copy of the GarminDevice.xml file found in the \Garmin\ directory to:

This happens pretty regularly with my 700i - I know it's not the same model, but symptoms are similar where Express thinks the previous firmware is installed. Eventually it works itself out, I assume it's just a bug, so haven't looked deeper, but if you want diags from my 700i I can send them too, if it's still in this state. Thanks!

I have some additional Information to add to this thread. When I connect my Montana 610 to my PC and run Garmin Express, the Tools and Content page of Garmin Express states under the Model and Serial number that the software version is 3.60.
