My Montana turns off routinely. Seems that there is only so many operations it can handle in a row. About 200 is my guess.

I sent them a Montana 650t and I got a Montana 650t back. The maps are part of the package with this unit.

Re: Three states in a day

FF clues in MEL have moved 50m south. Who says wooden statues can't move. Someone must have blinked. Cache page has been updated with new MEL coords.
