[BaseCamp] Question of screen brightness

[Maura]

Garmin Montana with city nav sd card is an awesome LD riding GPS.
 I have the zumo and dezl 770
 beats both of them. Screen is not huge but certainly workable. Excellent viewability (if that is a word) . I mean screen brightness on auto works in all light conditions. 

Big screen with dumb useless data is no help IMHO. 

I have the 600, current version is 610.

Ken Schleman,
I assume you mean a Garmin Montana and not the State...

So, what model and why?

It looks like the Montana is more geared towards hiking with the Topo maps and smaller size.
