At a time when off-grid exploration is becoming increasingly popular and digital maps can fail, the Montana 710 is a reliable guide for riding, camping, hunting, geocaching, and more. If you’re a hunter, hiker, trail rider or overlander, this device truly isn’t a gadget — it’s your life line in the backcountry.
On The Ground: An Absolute Game Changer For Off-Road
I’ve brought the Garmin Montana 710 on several trips — from hiking through the thick forests of the Pacific Northwest to off-roading through rocky highlands in New Zealand. I’m most impressed, however, at how easily it deals with difficult environments. The large 5” sunlight-readable touchscreen remains responsive even with gloves on, and the high-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS receiver locks onto satellites faster than most handhelds I’ve used.
The TopoActive maps with routable roads and trails have consistently provided me with accurate navigation, even in areas where mobile signals vanish completely. And when I’ve had to note a waypoint or navigate back to basecamp the interface has made it a simple and efficient process.
What's a Montana 710? Technical Details that Set the Montana 710 Handheld Apart
The Montana 710 was designed by Garmin for serious outdoor enthusiasts. Here’s what stands out:
- 5” Dual-Orientation Touchscreen: Bigger than other GPS units, ideal for off-roading and for use in your car.
- TopoActive Maps + City Navigator: Preloaded street and trail maps.
- Support for Multi-constellations: GPS+GLONASS for a faster positioning.
- Barometric Altimeter & 3-axis Compass: Elevation readings are more accurate, and you don’t have to keep it level to get a reading.
- Waterproof (Ipx7 Rating): Protection from heavy splashes, rain or only use loose.Built-in Wi-Fi® Connectivity: For software updates and wireless map downloads.
This combination of mapping depth, satellite tracking, and rugged design makes it far superior to relying solely on smartphone GPS or basic trail apps.
