Garmin basecamp review3/15/2023 When there is no sunlight the backlight illuminates the pixels. The screen is transflective, which means that it uses incoming sunlight to reflect the pixels. I found it very easy to see in all conditions. For a Garmin device, the screen is great. Let's talk about the touchscreen, which is the highlight of the Montana 7x0. Buttons & Outside of the GPS The front of the unit has a 480 x 800 pixel touchscreen display. Here's a size comparison, from left to right: GPSMAP 66i, Montana 750i, InReach Mini, iPhone 11 Pro Max. If you have small hands, you'll likely use the Montana like a tablet instead of holding it in your palm. Like anything else, the more you use it, the more you get used to it. When you first use it, you feel as if you're in the military and have just been handed your GPS for the field. It's hard to convey just how beefy and different the Montana 7x0 series feels compared to other handheld GPS units. Montana 750i (or 700i or 700) Walkthrough I'm an average sized guy (6ft), and my hand JUST fits around the Montana 750i. You can see a complete list of specs for the models on the Garmin site. I'll talk about the camera performance later, but for most of us, we probably already have a camera on our smartphone that is better (and also geo-tags our photos). The sweet spot for most users looking for InReach would be to get the 700i, which has everything except the camera. You'll see me using the top-of-the-line Garmin 750i in this guide, but you can also apply the insights here to the sister 700i and 700 models. All reviews on this site and independent and unsponsored. I was not paid by Garmin to do this review. If you find this guide helpful, you can help support this site by using these links to buy your Montana (at no extra cost to you): The good news is, if the Garmin Montana 750i, 700i, or 700 is not for you, there are other great options (like the GPSMAP 66i, but more on that later). In this guide I'll walk you through the Montana, show you what works and what doesn't, and then give you some recommendations. It's big, beefy, has a bright touchscreen, more onboard maps than usual, and that elusive beast for Garmin handhelds, the QUERTY keyboard. The Montana 7x0 series is unlike any other Garmin handheld GPS out there. I've been using and testing the Garmin Montana 750i extensively for a few months, and to sum it up in a few words, it's a mixed bag that will be great for some folks and not so great for others.
