Hence I broke down and bought City Navigator again. Unfortunately OSM still needs addresses, so routing to an address DOES NOT WORK. These are GREAT for hiking and geocaching, because we've worked hard to get local (Corvallis Oregon) hiking trails in. Openstreetmap, in the Velo and MTNBIKE versions.
#Garmin communicator plugin software windows 7 update
Supposed to be able to update GPS firmware, it's very old now. When you are connected via WiFi, you can trigger it by going to Settings->About Monterra->System Updates. This includes things like what Trip Computer data you are displaying. This seems to fix it the downside is that it forgets all your settings and you have to put them back in. You can't use GPS functions unless Garmin Outdoor Apps is working, making the Monterra essentially useless. I have seen this a couple times now - power on the Monterra, and the dialog "Unfortunately, Garmin Outdoor Apps has crashed." pops up repeatedly. It just means more work to get multiple maps loaded. You can load many third party mapping apps onto it and then use non-Garmin maps but I have found 99% of the time I end up using Garmin maps and apps anyway, so this is not an advantage for me. But as a general purpose GPS for example for trail navigation or geocaching it's bulky, heavy, and the user interface is mediocre. It would be a good "cheap" alternative to pro level gear (i.e. I bought the Monterra when I was doing Android development work. The camera is fun but I don't use it much. I'd get the base model if I were to do it again. I have a 62sc which means it has extras like a camera and barometer. If you need a general purpose handheld, get a Garmin GPSmap 60 series (current model is the 64). I've had the Monterra over a year now and have to say it is my least favorite GPS. 3.1 Getting firmware / software updates.
