About Rich Owings
I ordered a 2757 LMT from GPS centr Ca and they shipped it this afternoon. I’ll receive it the 11 or 12. Hope it’ll works fine…
I received an evaluation unit Oregon 650 this week, and I am very impressed with the features and functions added. I am running firmware 2.00. Many, Many of the requests made for the Montana (and still not implemented) are available on the Oregon 6×0. Unfortunately, the Oregon 6×0 has a smaller screen, and no external power options.
I guess Garmin still can’t build one GPSr with all the features, and I will continue to add to my collection!
Full review coming ? 🙂
Even with the Garmin auto power cable?… https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=15429
Sorry, I was referring to the external power ‘connection’ like the Montana, that allows the unit to be powered without opening rubber port covers and fumbling with USB cables. 🙂
Ah, gotcha.
Hi Rich,
Got my 2597LMT today, turned on but acquiring signal. I am trying from last three hours don’t know how to do this. Please help. Thanks
sorry not acquiring signal.
Are you indoors?
charged it with AC power. Yes I m indoor but yesterday I was in parking lot for 15 min but didn’t connect it with vehicle.
15-30 minutes on your dash or perhaps even in a window of your home should be enough for it to lock satellites. Once it does lock, leave it on for five minutes or so to download the satellite almanac data.
