Re: Garmin Announces Montana 7x0
Still not use to the size of this unit. As of now I use the 680 for both snomobileing and hiking. This 700 would be fine for snowmobileing but hiking? way too big for me to grapple so far. I'm trying but I carry the 680 in a case on front of left chest shoulder strap allowing me to give it a good view of the sky and easy to grab and read then put back. No were else really to carry it on my person because of the large hiking day pack. But this 700 would be like carrying a brick. I was hoping for a change of the current 680 to galileo support and maybe a bit bigger or brighter screen but man. Am I wrong on this?

Re: Garmin Announces Montana 7x0
Sounds exactly how many new users felt when the Montana 6x0 was released... And the Montana 7x0 size was the first thing I noticed as well... but I just finished a long weekend of hiking with it without giving it a second thought. Rides well in cargo pants pocket.
