A Great Device but the Battery Life Could be Better
"I bought the Garmin Montana 700i for the inReach service and that works as advertised, but the 700i is a fantastic device overall. The touch screen makes it easy to use for us old guys. My only dissapointment with the 700i is the battery life. If you leave the screen on the 700i will drain the battery in 8-9 hours. Extra batteries are available but they are expensive. The battery life is my only reason for giving the 700i four stars instead of five. With regard to GoHunt.com, I would give those guys more than five stars if I could. Their customer service is awsome! I initially bought the Garmin inReach Explorer + but I found the buttons and screen were so small I couldn't use them. Within 24 hous GoHunt.com responded to my e-mail with a phone call from a real, live human being. Nate is a pleasant young fellow who made it easy for me to exchange the Explorer + for the Montana 700i. If I ever need anything else carried by GoHunt.com, I will go out of my way to buy from them. Customer service that good deserves my loyalty."
