Default Got a Garmin Montana 750i ordered

The wife, bless her heart, got me a Garmin Montana 750i GPS for my BDay.
I値l have it in a week or so.

Anyone have this unit, thoughts?

Only negative review I致e read is that Garmin over-stated the battery life by about 50%, not cool.
I値l get an extra fit pack or the AA adapter maybe.

TBark, I've got an older version of the Montana with a spare battery that I'll never use the spare. Looks similar to this one: Spare battery

If you're interested in the spare, PM me when you get the Montana 750i and I'll send you the spare. I'll confirm that the battery fits before sending it to you.

I'll never use the spare because my older unit takes AA's as an alternative, but the unit resides on my quad for navigation. And literally sips battery so the pack itself will easily give me 2 solid days of use before I'd have to look at AA's....

Neat little unit.
Does everything in one package.
Let us know how much the subscription is.
