Garmin Tread Powersport Off-Road Navigator with Group Ride Radio, Group Tracking and Voice Communication, 5.5" Display, 010-02406-00

This is a great unit. Use in SxS. Can’t get lost. Easy to use - read instructions.

I didn't need anything that had a subscription or needed downloads. This thing is perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!

I go off road a lot in the northern upper peninsula of Michigan. The two track and other roads are not marked the best. Recently, coming home in the dark I would have got back to camp without this GPS but I would have put on a lot of extra miles. My gut was saying to go in one direction but the Garmin Tread said to go in another direction. I went the Garmin direction! I was so glad I had it. Once my gut and the Garmin came into alignment it made sense why the "all seeing eye" of the Garmin Tread said to go the way it did! I know the price tag is high. I choked on it as well. But if you can get past the price bring this GPS if for nothing more than the large screen and for the how it connects to other cameras. I no longer need my Garmin 62. Honestly, in the old days I used a Topo map and compass to get around. That system is still relevant but using the Garmin is so much better. For night time driving out in the wilds the Garmin Tread is superior to my Garmin handheld GPS. Do I still keep a compass in my pocket? You bet!

I use this on both my ADV motorcycle and my racing ATV. There is a slight learning curve if you're new to this sort of product from Garmin. Once fully figured out, it is incredibly useful. Also, Garmin support is very helpful. I like it enough that I bought another larger unit to dedicate to the race ATV with occasional use in the race hauler truck.

Maps r horrible! Layers arent really there u just get a lest of what u want. topo lines cover what roads r there but u can’t make out roads from topo lines. The thing is overly complicated to to get to know. The map looks more like a cartoon there is no real forestry map with trail and roads. I was excited to get it and it turns into very disappointed in the product. I’m going to send it back!!!! It’s just not like any other garmin I’ve had n the past! DONT WASTE your money!

Up front, we are returning this device. We do a lot of overlanding and RVing, so we wanted one unit that would support whatever adventure we chose. The Tread XL Overland seemed like it. We use Onx mapping when we overland now and had read we could use it on the Tread. Well, not exactly, according to the internet you have to "To install onX OffRoad on your Garmin Tread XL Overland, you'll need to sideload the app (as it's not directly available in the Tread's app store) by enabling developer mode, installing F-Droid and Aurora, and then authenticating with your Google account to install the app." Sounded complicated, plus you would need a Windows computer - we are a OSX family so that option is out. The default is IOverlander, which we have used but does require you to download mapping/imagery before hand and that requires a wifi signal. Again, not show stoppers if you're planning a short trip, but we wanted it for four month trip up through AK, so our options were downloading everything to multiple sim chips and swap them out as we headed North. Our system was used, so no manual but plenty of online sources for that data. We liked the HUGE 10" screen and the menu functions seemed easy to use. All in all not a bad unit, pricey for $1000 and complicated if like us you wanted to use something like ONX maps.

I would like to start out that I have used Garmin GPS's in there various incarnations for nearly 30 years. I purchased the Tread for both on & off road use. The 1st thing I did upon receipt of the unit was to connect it to the computer and run any updates, well it does not like to update via usb but it does like to update via wifi so just a heads up, the initial updates did not take long less than 1 hour. The 2nd thing I did was try it with a GTM-60 traffic receiver I already have that is used with other models, according to the compatibility list it is not compatible, but I noticed the "overlander" was compatible which is the same OS as the Tread and sure enough when i plugged it in it did a little firmware update to the GTM-60 and it works great as noted in my photo it gets digital updates where they are provided (digital is not broadcast in all city's). Functionally it has a lot of features some of which I may never use but they are there if you need them. The search function works great, you no longer have to search by city/state/etc to find many things you just put what you want in search and bam there it is. Out of the box it has a lot of boundary lines enabled for everything A~Z so much that it can make the map just a bit too much you may have a hard time determining what is a property boundary line and what is a trail or road or street so I turned some of the boundary markers off to make it more suitable to my needs. Some of those markers are useful for off-road ONLY, when I am in the city I don't need to see joe smo's property lines. The OS is nice you will get a single tone alert for upcoming speed limit changes, a detail will come up on the right side showing the next street/exit, etc and how far away it is and by this I mean it will show them purely as information and not necessarily as your next turn if navigating I like the feature. OFF-Road mapping is "ok" there are some places I have gone to and have driven and the mapping is just not in the data, that's not a defect of the device it's a mapping issue and should be expected to a certain degree depending on where you travel. Birds eye view is "interesting" if you download the birds eye it literally shows a birds eye view which includes just trees and no road if the road is under the tree canopy there is no overlay for the road on the map in that case. Accuracy is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, accuracy is pretty good most of the time but there was a couple cases of it "drifting" a bit maybe a few hundred feet at most not sure why, could be the satellite was on the edge of the horizon or something. I have traveled with it for a few thousand miles now and have confidence in it for the most part . I purchased a window suction mount separate because it does not come with one, I though it might "fall off" the window because it is a little heavy because of the big built in battery but even with some rough off roading it has not fallen off, the colored plastic trim pieces it comes with seem a little janky but it has not been dropped or anything yet when it does I expect the trim piece of pop off like a lego set otherwise it seems sturdy. It has not frozen up or done anything weird as of yet the os seems stable. If you are on the couch about buying one go for it, great gps.

Hello everyone, I am an ATV motorcycle fanatic IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA, In my opinion! It is an excellent product for this type of use, I have had a good experience, it marked all the routes or trails even those that had no exit, I stood out as a group leader because at no time did I get lost, apart from the fact that it records the route is very necessary to return to the starting point, the rain or the splashes of rivers never affected the GPS, I am satisfied 😎👍🏽

Le GPS est très bien l'écran est très visible même en plein soleil quelques petits erreurs de tracer chemin qui n'existe plus recalcule de l'itinéraire un peu long sinon fonctionne bien et très robuste.

Happy with my Garmin tread sxs edition
