I have my new Garmin Montana mounted to my offroad motorcycle on a garmin rugged mount. After a few rides, it started to shut off by itself, especially after bumpy roads. Now it wont even go five mins on the bike without shutting off. Even if I take the Montana off the mount and put it into my pocket it will still shut off.
So back at home, with the rechargeable battery installed, if I shake it once towards the tops, it will power off. When I use AAA cells, its does not have this problem (although I have yet to try AAA cells with the unit mounted to the rugged mount on a rough road).
Anyone else have this problem with their Montana on rough roads? They do advertise it for off road vehicles, so I think its quite reasonable to expect it to handle it.
"Built rugged, waterproof and tough. Includes routable maps, supports 24K TOPO maps. Paired with an ATV mount, is ideal for hunting and off-roading. There's nowhere Montana won't take you"
