Garmin Montana GPS?

[Whoaru99]

Looks like a pretty nice unit that does topo, lake maps, and automotive street routing. Anyone happen to have one of the Montanas and care to say how it's going for you with it?

I have used one for about 6 months and I absolutely love it. The large bright screen is great. I did not know if I would care for the touch screen but it is very nice. It is very user friendly and quite intuitive. It has three GB of on board storage and the ability to read a large (I think 32 GB) card. It is easy to load many different types of background maps and you can load user created maps. You can subscribe to Garmin Birdseye Imagery and have aerial photo background, in conjunction with topo if you want. It has voice commands with a mount with a speaker using rout-able maps. A very unique feature is it comes with a rechargeable battery but can be replaced with three AA batteries. That is the first time I have ever seen that feature. A great unit but fairly spendy. I have a few light scratches on the screen so I am wondering how long that will hold up.
