What’s the difference between the overland and tread?
@RoamOverlanding2 жыл бұрын
The tread has a new user interface, slightly different way of being able to plot and edit your routes and instead of using the Garmin Explore App it uses the Garmin Tread App. The tread also has more accurate GPS tracking, so if you're doing small fast trails, the tread will stick on your where as the overlander is a tad slower to keep up. They use different reverse camera's too, the tread's camera is completely wireless and runs off a battery, where as the overlander needs to be connected to power and wired to a reverse light. There are more changes but these are the ones that are noticable in use. If you are in America or EU then the difference gets bigger because the Tread is capable of using the Group ride mount from Garmin which allows you to communicate to other Tread devices with a hand held radio as well as connecting and be able to track them on the map; in Africa you can only track them on the map and send premade messages via radio. OH And a big one is that the new Tread Overland editions come with InReach built into it, meaning you dont need to buy an Inreach Mini for satellite communication

I was hoping for a bit more discussion about the interface of the Garmin Mini (one on order now) and the Overlander, which I have had for almost a year and I think is an outstanding unit - if not a bit pricey. That said, I appreciated your video so much I'll hit the like and subscribe. Thank you!

Not sure if its available on the In-Reach plans in SA but in Australia Garmin resell the GEOS worldwide rescue insurance (from memory its about USD$20 per year). Well worth the investment as it covers a lot of stuff that travel insurance doesn't -like helicopter rescue due to being stranded vs having to have a life-threatening illness/injury.

Completely agree with you regarding the overlander. I am lucky in one respect,the Jeeps new media screen works with Apple car play and Android auto, using those apps for navigation is great. I usually download a large section so I can use it even without network connection. Have you tried an app called Gaia Gps? It is very popular here and its app now also works via apple or android connection.

Hi Roam. I have a overlander gps and I was wondering if you could share your journeys that you have logged, so we can explore the same tracks as what you did 👣. It will be such a great help to use your tracks for journeys and explore places that one isn't sure of where to go 😀. Many thanks

So is the overlander subscription based? Can you send emergency text without the In Reach mini?
@RoamOverlanding2 жыл бұрын
The overlander connects to your InReach Mini to send the satellite messages, and your InReach Mini must have a subscription. If you get the newer Tread Overland edition, it has the InReach built into it and in that case the gps will need the subscription but you can message straight from the gps without any additional units

@@RoamOverlanding Thanks, im in need of a device to do some trails in my area but id rather have it satellite-based because cellular service is very sketchy in the areas because its mountainous.

Hey David, it’s not water resistant. I think Garmin do have some more compact units with better sealing. Have a look at they current product lineup and see if you can find something. Alternatively some of their new watches like the Fenix solar have gps capability and are water proof etc and have solar charging 👌🏻

Good review, bought one recently, my only complaint is when using the explore function you seem to have to download the route you want to use, if i knew the route i want to use i wouldn’t need a sat nav ?? I was hoping it would tell me of a route between two points like on the normal drive sat nav
@RoamOverlanding3 жыл бұрын
Try treat the explore function like a traditional map, just in a digits form. But it’s always best to use 2/3 different maps plus some paper ones just to get different perspectives and Incase one set doesn’t have the exact routes. So I have a map book of the whole of Southern Africa, then I have my Garmin for my big picture on the trip, like you know you want to go from poInt A-B-C and you have that route pre setup before you do the trip, on either your computer or your cellphone through the Explore app/webpage. Then as you want to explore each day you can look around for nice new spots, but usually tourist maps in each area are a nice indicator of things to do in the area etc. I don’t know.. it’s complicated 😂 you have to find your navigation style!

Does the 890 and 1090 offer anything better than the Overlander? It seems the Overlander has both on and off road maps, while the 890 and 1090 only have on road maps? So doesn't the Overlander have better specs since it offers both?

Can I create a route using Google my Maps, export it as a .KML file into the Garmon overland and get turn by turn directions for the routs I created? The Nation Park Service (USA) has 30 National Historic Trails which they have PDF maps only of the current roads which most closely follow the historic roadbed. It would be great to use Google my maps to create turn by turn driving directions for these historic trails

How much traveling/overlanding have you done throughout the African continent? The reason I’m asking is that this is a second video I have heard you make generalized comments about the continent “ In Africa...”whereas I suspect your impressions are largely drawn from SA, particularly around Joburg.. I have had a friend leave his car in Botswana for almost a week nothing happened, I experienced the same when I had a breakdown in Transkei, two years ago we had a similar experience in Namibia. Around joburd I wouldn’t leave my car unattended for even a day, but joburg is not Africa!! Nice videos otherwise!
@RoamOverlanding4 жыл бұрын
Hey Thabiso, this was just information I got from my insurance company 👍🏻 It’s one of the reasons you need to get specialized insurance when traveling across the borders, even in lovely countries like Botswana and Namibia. Some people will leave their vehicles in the middle of nowhere and go to a hotel until they can arrange a tow truck or any assistance. That could be 2-3days, and the risk of what could potentially happen to the vehicle in that time, doesn’t make the insurance companies too happy. It wasn’t a stab at Africa or anything like that, but the point I wanted to make was, I would rather be with my vehicle regardless of where it is. 👍🏻

Roam Overlanding I have never needed to get specialized insurance for traveling within SADC in the past 10 years in which I have been exploring the region. I’ve been with 4 different insurance companies in that period. Maybe you should change your insurer . Take care !

Please disclose EVERYTHING about something you review. The inReach is not just a SMALL monthly fee There is a yearly fee as well. And the fee is NOT just a monthly fee. It is paid monthly UNTIL you stop it. AND there is no option to just subscribe for a month and forget about it. The payment is recurring UNTIL you stop it. So if you forget to cancel the subscription (People are human after all and forget things)you WILL be charged. Do not get me wrong. I love watching your videos and the info in most of your videos is very useful. But please just disclose everything about something you review. I bought both the Garmin Overlander and the inReach Mini2, after watching this video and with both more accurate info would have been beneficial for me to make a more informed decision. Inreach Mini2 is a very good buy but was shocked to find I have to incur extra costs. Overlander, well I have voiced my opinion in another comment. I am swapping the useless OVerlander for a Tread Overland
