OFF-ROAD RUGGEDNESS

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.

HIGH-VISIBILITY DISPLAY

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.

TRAIL NAVIGATION

Enjoy turn-by-turn trail navigation2 for traversing unpaved roads and trails using Adventure Roads and Trails map content comprised of OpenStreetMap™ and USFS Motor Vehicle Use Maps.

MAPS FOR OFF-ROAD

Tread features preloaded topographic maps of North and Central America and detailed street maps of North America. It also includes U.S. Forest Service Roads and trails and Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) for full-sized 4x4s, side-by-side, ATVs and motorcycles.

SATELLITE IMAGERY

Download high-resolution BirdsEye Satellite Imagery directly via Wi-Fi® connectivity, with no annual subscription required.

TRAIL RATINGS

Our growing trail database now includes difficulty ratings for off-road riding areas, where available, across the U.S.

KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES

Access public land boundaries for national forests, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), wilderness areas and more. Also, see private land boundaries and landowner information for parcels greater than 4 acres.

EASILY SYNC YOUR DEVICES

Use the Tread app1 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.

MOUNTS WITH MUSCLE

The included powered mount and wiring harness with tube mount secure your Tread navigator to your powersport vehicle for riding over rough terrain.

ABC SENSORS

For tough-terrain guidance, built-in sensors include an altimeter, barometer, compass and pitch/roll gauges.

INREACH® COMPATIBLE

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.

GO-ANYWHERE GUIDANCE

Get spoken turn-by-turn directions if you choose to take Tread with you when you head back to civilization and want on-road navigation. Includes driver alerts for sharp curves, red light/speed cameras4 and more.

DOG TRACKING

Wirelessly pair Tread with select Garmin GPS dog systems (sold separately) to help track and retrieve your sporting dogs in the field. You’ll see markers for each dog within tracking range, overlaid right on the navigator’s map screen. Directional cues help you easily follow and locate each dog you’re tracking.

GROUP RIDE MOBILE

Track friends from your compatible smartphone or Tread device when you and your friends use the Tread app’s Group Ride mobile feature.

EASY ROUTE PLANNER

Use the Tread app to easily plan routes with the same maps, vehicle profiles and route preferences that you have on the Tread device.

LIVE WEATHER

Weather ahead? Pair Tread with your compatible smartphone, and download the Tread app to access live weather, storm alerts, animated radar and more1.

CONTROL YOUR ACCESSORIES

Pair Tread with the compatible Garmin PowerSwitch™ digital switch box (sold separately) to enable on-screen control for your side-by-side’s 12-volt electronics — light bars, differential locks and more.

POINTS OF INTEREST

Tread comes preloaded with iOverlander™ points of interest and Ultimate Public Campgrounds, so you don’t need a cell signal to route to the best-established, wild and dispersed campsites.

ADD A CAMERA

What’s around your side-by-side? Maximize visibility by pairing Tread 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.

TRAVELING MUSIC

A built-in media player lets you easily control music loaded on your compatible smartphone on the navigator’s display — and hear your tunes through your helmet or headset (sold separately) enabled with BLUETOOTH technology.
