Bugs

1.	With [Setup > Position Format = hddd°mm.mmm'] selected, coordinates are actually displayed as hddd°mm.mmmm'. (Please update this menu selection to read hddd°mm.mmmm') (see Feature Request 7)		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530]
2.	[Setup > Units] preferences are not Profile dependent, like with previous and/or similar Garmin GPSr. [groundspeak]		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530]
3.	Routing method does not change when switching between profiles where the new profile routing method is set to 'Prompted' (should be Profile dependent). [Garmin: "This behavior is by design"]	(1834)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
4.	POIs with proximity alerts sent to the Montana 7x0 using Garmin POI Loader 2.7.3 may fail to alert as expected. [groundspeak]	(1733)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
5.	The user selected day in the Calendar, Hunt and Fish, or Sun and Moon pages may 'jump' to the previous day on devices operated in time zones where daylight savings time is not observed. (example)	(1405)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530]
6.	While viewing a Tide Table Chart: Selecting [Menu > Hide Chart] results in not only the Tide Chart being removed, but most of the alpha-numeric data in the upper pane is also removed. Selecting [Menu > Show Chart] results in the lower pane graph being displayed again, but this time without the Tide Plot while the data previously removed from the upper pane remains MIA. Rotating the display 90° restores the missing Tide Plot and data when [Setup > Display > Orientation Lock = Auto], and may also result in Crash 1.	(1739)	[220] [300] [410]
7.	Intermittently, waypoint distances listed in the Waypoint Manager page may suddenly change from the actual distance to the approximate distance to null island. [example]		[220] [300]
8.	Adventures may randomly lose data and/or disappear from the device, and the user may find Adventure data files moved and/or deleted between microSD card and internal memory, all without any warning or user intervention.		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
9.	When navigating to the 'Next Stage' coordinates for a geocache loaded via GCLive (does not exist in any GPX or GGZ file), the Geocaching page will no longer display the description for the parent geocache, which often includes important information required to complete the search. (garmin.de)		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530]
10.	GCLive function fails to download any additional child waypoints (Parking, Multi-cache stages, etc.) when available, effectively rendering the GCLive 'feature' useless for a large percentage of available geocaches. [groundspeak]		[220] [300] [410]
11.	Cycling the Power button while viewing the chirp information page fails to perform the function configured in [Setup > System > Power Key > Single Tap], and instead initiates the [Go] function.	(1340)	[220] [300] [410]
12.	While creating a route in the Route Planner page, after selecting [Add New Point > Use Map] and selecting [Use] on the Map page, there is no confirmation to the user that the selected map point has been added to the current route.		[220] [300] [410] [420]
13.	When reviewing a route in Route Planner, selecting Elevation Plot and then selecting any location along the displayed elevation plot and selecting [Menu > View Map] results in the selected location being displayed on the map without the route being displayed, which is contradictory to previous Garmin GPSr. The selected route should be displayed here.	(1662)	[220] [300] [410]
14.	Selecting [Where To? > Routes > {choose route} > Go] then [Where To? > Change Route Activity > {choose activity}] can result in the active route no longer being displayed on the map page. (may be related to Bug 23)		[220] [300] [410] [420]
15.	Opening a saved track and selecting the 'Track Name', 'Track Color', 'Show on Map' or the 'Favorite Star' does not provide any highlight feedback, which is inconsistent with previous models.	(1821)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700]
16.	Selecting [Waypoint Manager > {choose waypoint} > Menu > Reposition Here] immediately and irreversibly changes the selected waypoint coordinates without a confirmation prompt.	(1651)	[220] [300] [410]
17.	While the Compass dashboard is displayed on the Map page, the user is unable to select visible map details displayed to either side of the compass ring. [Garmin: "No improvements currently scheduled"]	(1629)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
18.	Database synchronization between the Montana 7x0 and Explore app is frequently corrupted, resulting in lost and/or duplicated waypoints, tracks, activities and routes in both locations. [more info]		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
19.	Complex integration of inReach tracking + Activity recording controls that attempt to outsmart the user can provide unpredictable tracking behaviors that may result in a loss of user data and/or leave the user stranded without an uploaded breadcrumb trail directing rescue teams to their location.		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
20.	An inability to differentiate between individual maps within the same map family (i.e. OSM vs TopoActive) frequently results in unwanted map layer configuration changes each time TopoActive or City Navigator maps are enabled/disabled via 'Automatic Maps' or the Map page map layer selection menu.		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
21.	Using the Map page map layer selection menu to enable/disable TopoActive or City Navigator maps frequently results in corruption of the user configured default map selections for the active profile.		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
22.	Geocache title text and geocache icon overlap each other on geocache dashboard. [example]	(1744)	[220] [300] [410]
23.	Selecting [Where To? > Routes > {choose route} > Go > Direct Routing] then [Where To? > Change Route Activity > {Automotive or Motorcycle}] with only TopoActive maps enabled always results in the device replacing the selected route destination with the most recent previous user destination. (may be related to Bug 14)	(1865)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530]
24.	Successful 'Mode' configuration changes executed for a VIRB camera connected via VIRB Remote are not reflected or updated in the Montana 7x0 VIRB setup menus.	(1601)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700]
25.	The Montana 7x0 frequently ignores embedded routing information available with many popular third party maps that are properly recognized by previously released models (Montana 6x0, Oregon 6x0/7x0, Rino 7x0, GPSMAP 66, etc.). [example]	(1104)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
26.	Device is unable to connect to Wi-Fi networks with hidden SSID.	(1971)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800]
27.	Garmin Adventure Photos loaded to the microSD card are not properly indexed or displayed when sorted by 'Most Recent' in 'Photo Viewer' page, but are properly displayed when viewed from Adventure Content page.	(1826)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830]
28.	Geocaches loaded via 'Share Wirelessly' do not include necessary child waypoints when present.		[420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
29.	Custom Geocache Symbols loaded to the device may be displayed 'cropped' in the Geocache page List tab. [Gr]		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700]
30.	Starting the Montana 7x0 with geocache proximity alerts enabled while several hundred geocaches are loaded via GGZ files frequently results in a substantially longer boot sequence duration.	(1998)	[610] [620] [630]
31.	Geocaches logged as found on the Montana 7x0 and listed as found in Calendar page are sometimes displayed as not found on the Map page.	(1557)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
32.	Geocache 'Child Waypoints' are always displayed by 'Code', and never by 'Name', regardless of [Setup > Geocaching > Geocache Style] configuration.		[420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
33.	After beginning navigation to a geocache child waypoint, having just selecting the child waypoint from the Geocache page 'Additional Waypoints' menu, the user no longer has access to the parent geocache information from the Geocaching page. Child Waypoints (or 'Additional Waypoints') should always be treated as 'Via Points' when selected from the 'Additional Waypoints' menu. [choose 'Add as Via Point', not 'Set as New Destination' to resolve issue]		[640] [700]
34.	Custom Waypoint Symbols loaded to the device may be displayed 'cropped' in the Waypoint Edit page. [example]		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700]
35.	Custom Waypoint Symbols loaded to the device with names including a 'Hot Spot' are ignored and not displayed.	(2034)	[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830]
36.	While programming a chirp device, after choosing a waypoint or a geocache, the map page is frequently displayed with the 'Go' button instead of the 'Send' button.		[640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830]
37.	When opening the Geocache page while navigating to a geocache child waypoint selected from the 'Additional Waypoints' menu, the 'Geocache List' tab is displayed instead of the 'Active Geocache' tab, which is the expected and customary behavior while navigating to a geocache.		[700] [710] [800]
38.	Garmin maps purchased via direct download or microSD may not be recognized or properly displayed on the Montana 7x0. [garmin] [garmin] [garmin]		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
39.	Course (CDI) bearing line remains positioned over the course line during off-course navigation. This behavior is inconsistent with many prior and current generation Garmin GPSr. [garmin.de] [garmin.de]		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910]
40.	Geocaches listed in the Adventure Content Menu may not appear when selected.		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
41.	The first boot sequence after any geocache GPX/GGZ files are updated frequently requires an hour or more to complete unless the user also deletes the [GPSr:]\Garmin\EDM\ directory before restarting the unit. [Gr]		[530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
42.	The Montana 7x0 consistently locates fewer Galileo satellites than comparable Garmin devices when used side by side.		[220] [300] [410] [420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
43.	The Montana 7x0 Active Route page can be very slow to respond while navigating longer routes, especially when compared to a GPSMAP 276Cx with the same route loaded. [Gr]		[710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080]
44.	The Active Route page list display alignment can result in overlapping text. [example] [Gr]		[710] [800] [810] [820] [830]
45.	Configuring [Setup > Waypoints > Suffix = 0000] results in a value of '10000' being displayed in the setup menu, and the next marked waypoint will use the first available suffix counting up from '0000'. [Gr]		[710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910]
46.	Imported routes can not be started while GPS Demo Mode is enabled. This behavior is inconsistent with many current and previous Garmin models. [Gr] [Garmin: "This issue will not be corrected.

All auto-archived tracks are saved with the 'Auto' suffix regardless of user selection in [Setup > Recording > Advanced Setup > Auto Save], a behavior inconsistent with current and previous Garmin Outdoor Recreational Handheld devices.		[820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]

61.	Geocaches downloaded via GCLive are frequently displayed with incomplete data, requiring the user to 'refresh' geocache information from the Geocache page Map Tab multiple times before all data is loaded properly, which is not a workable option for users that pre-load their geocache data due to lack of internet service near their destinations. [example]		[420] [530] [540] [610] [620] [630] [640] [700] [710] [800] [810] [820] [830] [840] [850] [910] [920] [1050] [1080] [1090] [1210] [1310] [1320] [1480] [1500] [1510] [1520] [1610] [1620] [1630] [1640] [1650] [1660] [1670] [1800] [1810] [1830] [1840] [1880] [1890] [1900] [1910]
