Garmin Montana 650t Aussie Users

[JoaoPCF]

i've tried my new montana 650t for the first time last week, coming from brisbane to sydney, and even if i'm still getting the hang of it there was one thing that annoyed me during most of the trip, the screen keeps rotating even when i'm riding asphalt. has enyone had the same problem? i wanted to know your opinion before i go back to the guys at ryda to ask for a replacement.

You can lock it in one orientation:


^ Setup > Display > Orientation Lock

You can lock into Track Up I assume?

Of course but that is not what is happening to JoaoPCF. Even if the Map Orientation is set to Track Up, the DISPLAY can rotate between Landscape and Portrait mode. So, doing as Emoto suggested will "lock" the DISPLAY from rotating when the built-in accelerometer thinks the unit is rotating (which can happen on any surface if there is enough vibration).

Cheers,

Thanks. I am trying to learn a little about the Montana, I am probably going to end up with one. An awful lot of what is posted I do not understand.
