Garmin Montana 600 question

Post by SteveR »

Is there any way to find or "force" a full screen Speedo or near full screen on the 600, in the same way as the Zumo 550? Digital or Analogue style readout would be fine.

I use mine for slow speed work on a tractor and they are prettya ccurate down to 1-2kph, BUT, the tiny readout is tough to read...

Steve,

Don't know if the 600 works the same as the 650, but I use the trip computer screen on mine, with the speedo on top of the trip distance in big numbers. The first screen shows average speed, eleavation etc.

It's all configerable, so give it a go.

Beat me to it...

Trip computer >
Press the 3 bars symbol >
Setup trip computer >
Big numbers

If the speed isn't displayed press the field you want to change and select the appropriate one :)

Brilliant!! Thank you both, most hugely... (thumbs)

Just about perfect as the Montana display is so much sharper than the old Zumo, meaning I can read it in bright sunlight when the unit is on a tractor ;)
