Please report your observations about this firmware release, good or bad, here!
Now I am being really afraid. Does that mean, that they want to disable OSM automotive routing also on all other GPSr devices too?
Oh dear. That's just catastrophic So it's quite possible, that they will disable them also on Montana 700 series.gpsrchive wrote: ↑Sun Mar 14, 2021 4:45 pm This does appear to be their new policy.
I doubt it will result in more users buying their City Navigator maps (which is what this is really all about) than users who simply stop purchasing and using their products.
The official reason given for this development was "they are not able to verify all OSM routing information as correct and accurate", which is really just a marketing smokescreen for wanting to sell more City Navigator maps.
A very poor marketing decision by Garmin, that is certain.
