First obvious change is that Garmin have added a 'Music Control' page and dashboard.

See GPSrChive > Montana 7x0 > Main Menu > Music Control and GPSrChive > Montana 7x0 > Operation > Dashboards for more information!

Wow, I am really surprised, that this feature did make it into the firmware.

It seems, that the hamburger menu is a no-op on the music control. Normally, even, if the menu does not offer any settings, it will show that. But here, clicking on that hamburger menu, it does not make happen anything.

Did anyone used the routing? Seems completly broken for me. No turn-by-turn works. Sometime, it works for a few kilometers, but most time not functional. All intructions are missing, but I am on the road driving, where the purple line is also shown. Never had this issue. Basicslly, it behaves, as if I would left the active route and GPSr is waiting, when I will be back on purple line, but I am on the road!

ConiKost, to clarify, you are observing that the spoken turn by turn instructions when routing are only working intermittently??

Not only Audio. Also Text does not work.
It only Shows ‚Go ahead <street>‘.
