In Maine it's a little bit harder but 400 is doable on crossover sleds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching them progress over the last few,seasons and pulled the trigger this yr along with a bud who got 1 also . I was pushed in to it a bit more because my bud who got 1 is pretty techy and will have it down pat in short order. then I can get the cliff notes tutorials. Yeah , I guess 6 beans is pretty reasonable considering . I'm just worried the thing might be too complex to figure the hell out . I do love the idea of that big screen tho considering I'm blind as a fuckin bat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well relative to the 650 that the Montana used to cost and 900 for a PIDD, its a lot lower than those two options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only 1 time been looking hard for a place to build shelter to spend the night . it is a bit more nerve racking than you would think. out all day in the hills of alpine WY snowing super hard all day . sun starts going down then you realise you have ZERO idea where the fuck you are . gets real in a hurry lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garmin 610 Montana it is, thanks for your help guys. 400 bones shipped! Are these things fairly easy to use? I am so behind the times when it comes to things like Bluetooth, Apps, and the whole lot of it, it isn't even funny. I have wanted a GPS for the sled for a while now as I'd like to venture a bit more with my son. I guess I am fearful of getting lost or not being able to find my way back if we do go to some place unfamiliar so I have basically stuck around locally for the past few years. Lots chase snow and there are times I wish I was riding but due to the lack of snow locally, I'm afraid to chase as well. I just found this vid so I am going to check it out.

I had a little handheld a few years back but screen is too small. Polaris PIDD Nav is great but no way am I gonna spend 900 bucks for it. Bro is talking a Garmin 73sv. Discuss. You can get many awesome gps apps for your phone. Saw some really great mounts that even have a heated element to keep your screen and battery from freezing up. Think I saw some on dootalk. Was going to get one til I bought the assault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
