Hi!
I've been using GPSMAP 64st for about a year now, with varied experiences (mostly good). I'm now looking for a new GPS with touchscreen (a bit tired of the buttons on the GPSMAP) for mostly geocaching and hiking. Both Montana 680 and Oregon 650 seems to be good alternatives, however I would like your experiences about the devices. I have a few questions that I couldn't find any answers to using the search function (or only old reviews from 2014 or so).
1. Is the Montana device too big for hiking and geocaching? Is Oregon too small?
2. I LOVE the belt clip that I use on the GPSMAP, is there any similar alternative for Montana?
3. I've heard a lot of complaints about the Oregon 650 with bugs (battery, freezing, compass problems, bad accuracy), do you guys have any experiences about this?
What do you think, Montana or Oregon?
Best regards,
