Bike Trails on a Montana 710i
Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2026 12:20 am
I ordered a Garmin Montana 710i from REI and it was delivered yesterday. I was somewhat surprised that it doesn't have an internal speaker. If I would have read the specifications closer I would have known that. I know that we can buy accessory mounts that have a speaker.
Today, I selected TopoActive Maps hoping it would show my nearby bike trails, but it does not. I read that Garmin TopoActive maps are primarily based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) data. I have downloaded maps from BBBike which are based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and they do show my local bicycle trails.
I will probably return this device to REI. I am sure that it is a good product, but it just doesn't fit my needs.
