Spend your time ripping through the woods, not waiting on your friends. This rugged powersport GPS navigator keeps your groups in touch and on track.
The included Group Ride Tracker allows group tracking for up to 20 riders with no mobile phone signal coverage needed. Plus, location sharing and pre-defined messaging1 lets you easily stay connected with your Group Ride friends (VHF range).
Purpose-built for all-terrain use, Tread stands up to anything the elements can throw at it. It’s IPX7-rated for water resistance and built to U.S. military standard 810 for thermal and shock resistance.
With its ultrabright 5.5″ glove-friendly touchscreen, the Tread navigator is designed for easy viewing in bright sunlight or pitch-dark. It can be mounted in portrait or landscape mode.
Tread features preloaded topographic and street maps of Europe, Africa including Tracks4Africa, Middle East, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand.
Download high-resolution BirdsEye Satellite Imagery over Wi-Fi directly to this navigation device; no annual subscription required.
Use the Tread app2 to sync waypoints, tracks, routes and collections across your devices, including your mobile device, computer and Tread navigator. Easily import and share GPX files, too.
Includes a powered mount, wiring harness with tube mount and a handlebar mount to secure your Tread navigator to the powersport vehicle for riding over rough terrain.
For tough-terrain guidance, built-in sensors include an altimeter, barometer, compass and pitch/roll gauges.
Pair your Tread powersport navigator with one of the compatible inReach global satellite communicators3 (sold separately) for two-way text messaging, interactive SOS and weather.
Spoken turn-by-turn directions if you choose to take Tread with you when you head back to civilisation and want on-road navigation.
Weather ahead? Pair Tread with your compatible smartphone, and download the Tread app to access live weather, animated radar and more2.
A built-in media player lets you easily control music loaded on your compatible smartphone on the sat nav’s display — and hear your tunes through your helmet or headset (sold separately) enabled with Bluetooth technology.
What’s around you? Maximise visibility by pairing your Tread navigator with a rugged BC™ 40 wireless camera with tube mount (sold separately). It easily mounts to your vehicle’s tube frame, flat panel or roll cage.
Pair Tread with the compatible Garmin PowerSwitch™ digital switch box (sold separately) to enable onscreen control for your side-by-side’s 12-volt electronics — light bars, differential locks and more.
Tread comes preloaded with iOverlander points of interest so you don’t need a mobile phone signal to route to the best-established, wild and dispersed campsites.
