Problem with Garmin Montana


NanCycle

Recommended Posts

Last weekend I was at a Virtual cache where the questions to be answered were listed as:

 

1. Question one

2. Question two

3. Question three

 

but on the Montana, part of question one and two were displayed on the same line, overwritten and illegible. Other questions were the same.

 

Then I went to another Virtual and the same thing occurred. When I looked up the caches on my phone, they were displayed correctly.

 

I deleted the PQ several days ago, and redownloaded it today and it is again not displayed correctly.

 

Any one know if this is a fixable problem with the Montana, a glitch with the PQ, or what?

I tend to use my phone for virtuals and earth caches anyway. There are often pictures to be referenced and long paragraphs are easier to read.

 

Images are no problem on recent GPSs. I have all images on my Or 600 for all caches loaded. GSAK + macros will do that without any problem.

How should we know without a reference? You'd forgot to provide the GCCode of at least one cache in question.

As Red90 stated spot on: The cache in question uses a pretty obscure html tag setting.

Removing those html tags will show this:

NB: Using GSAK or other third party stuff may correct the weird html.

Thanks for the explanation. I think my solution will continue to be to use my phone.

 

have you tried downloading the cache with your phone with some nameless application everyone loves, exporting and then passing it to the stand alone?

 

just curious what the result would be.

Nope. that sounds too complicated for me. I'm more the "if all else fails print out the cache page" type.
