I note that there have been 14 beta-updates since November for the Montana.

What's happening with this unit?

:confused:

I would say it's fine tuning to suit customer issues.
Present update is 3.9 I believe with a beta version available for the tech-geeks to get stuck into if they want.
 
4.10 is out.
Has some good additions in TrailTech as will as fixing the route truncation problem and a smoother, more responsive screen.


Changes from version 3.90 to version 4.10:

Added new route activity types and improved BaseCamp compatibility. See TrailTech (http://garmin.blogs.com/softwareupdates/2012/05/get-active-with-garmin.html) for more information.
Added symbol filtering to Where To? > Waypoints and Waypoint Manager
Added ability to toggle map between Track Up and North Up by touching the North arrow
Added ability to set a via point while navigating a calculated route
Added ability to remove the red pin while panning the map
Added support for Kenwood NMEA Waypoint Sentence
Improved GPS response at low speeds
Improved touch screen responsiveness
Improved font sizes for Arabic and Farsi languages
Improved camera white balance
Fixed issues with support for Canada BlueChart g2 maps
Fixed issue with NMEA
Fixed issue with track distance data field when track logging is off
Fixed issue with track log naming when using BaseCamp
Fixed issue with geocache visits in Calendar application
Fixed issue with charging indication when unit is fully charged
Fixed issues with map set selections across Profiles
Fixed issue where current geocache description review would reset to top after leaving page
Fixed issue with changing date on Tide reviews
Fixed issue where imported points from Garmin POI Loader would not alert user after a Profile change
Fixed potential shutdown caused by altimeter calibration
Fixed Where To? > Address searching
Fixed possible shutdown caused by the Small Data Fields dashboard
Fixed 'Go' button in chirp details
Fixed orientation change when viewing Help
Fixed shutdown caused by sorting Photo Viewer multiple times

Cheers,

Anyone else loaded 4.10 onto their Montana?

Mine has started switching off when doing a route calculation or even when changing routing prefs.

Gone back to 3.9 and thats fine.

Have you a routeable map 'enabled'?

Just run mine in 4.10, no problem, with CN NT 2012.2 (unit memory) enabled, and tried it with GB Discoverer (micro-sd), also no prblem
 
Try the 4.10 load again, I can only think there was a gremlin picked up.... all mine is fine on this 600 I have here.

I think I will as I have a spare day. Will delete all except the CNEU map first... Others report good things with this release. Will let you know

Cheers,

Must have had an error on the load-up. Seems to be working AOK now.
will put 3.90 on the SDc just in case.
