    Default Montana Touchscreen Tip

    Howdy Folks,

    If you have a Garmin Montana and decide it's a good idea to clean finger prints off the screen while it's starting up be prepared to possibly have all user data erased & the device reset to factory default
    Mine always takes about 30 - 45 seconds on startup to load the tracks, waypoints, maps etc. before it gets to the stage it's touch screen is usable, or so I thought.
    I had a lint free cloth & cleaned the screen from side to side working from top down while it was going through this process.
    Next thing I know I'm looking at a screen that said "Are you sure you want to remove all user data?" and the Yes button was already highlighted.
    I tried to tap Cancel but it appears the Yes had already been pressed as it restarted itself & everything was gone, tracks, waypoints, settings, the lot

    Easy fixed with backups of course but not so helpful a couple of hundred k's from those backups...
