Montana 610/680 Loses GPS Reception

If the Montana® 610 or 680 handheld is losing GPS reception intermittently or not acquiring satellites at all try switching the handheld to only using GPS satellites. We have identified an issue with the handheld acquiring satellites if using GPS + GLONASS reception. We have released a software update to fix this problem. Update the software on your device using the Garmin Express™ program.
