That was a great review - many thanks

Thanks for a great no BS honest presentation.

The biggest issue for me and reason I bought the overlander, HEAT! Many times I’ve been out and my phone has over heated and not able to use. I’ve even had iPads over heat and become unusable. The overlander paired with the garmin inreach is a great dedicated GPS system. Also really love the ability to search for camp sites around me.

thank you share detailed video with others here

Great vid!

Good info Wayne

Great review !

We take a look at the Garmin Overlander and how to use it. Is it worth $1000???? Thanks for watching.

Nice

Thanks for the very clear explanation. For off-road use I am very undecided between this model and the Garmin Tread. I rejected the new Tread Overland because it was too expensive and big. What do you suggest me? On my Jimny cockpit I already have all the Ram Mount ball mounts for the Trip Computer and other accessories. Thanks a lot

Great video mate, does it come with Hema Maps?

Hey buddy can you give me the details of the ram mount, where to buy in Brisbane and how much? Thank you, great video.

Hy Wayne - very good and informative - Question: can I download the Hema maps I have purchased and which are on my phone onto the Overlander? It seems not although in the beginning of the video you very quickly refer to Hema maps and at that point I thought they are pre-installed which however is contrasting with your comments at the end re the iPad etc. thanks for a hint - Marc

I wonder does it work off road where is not any phone or gps reception, like forest ? And can you save points where you been like in forest or bush and next time return on same point with same trCk? Thanks.

Hi, I just watch your video and it was great. Iam a newby so can you tell me if the the offroad maps come up and show where you are when you open even in the outback ? Also is there and app you need to down load to run with this unit. Keep up the great work .Thanks

was going to buy a hema, after this video going to buy this instead! Cheers

Great video :) I notice in your menu there is a HEMA icon. Does that mean you can also view HEMA maps on this device? Did that come with the device or did you load it yourself? Do you use the HEMA maps on your device often? Tia

Great video!! Thx for sharing the know how . What is the exact model? Screen looks bigger than the 7” model

Hey mate, assuming your talking about this year, I’ll be crossing at the same time 😅

Hi mate thank you for the exelent video ,my question is have you ever had the chance to use it in the bush and test reception ? Appreciated, cheers

I pad doesn't have that tough design. Cannot handle high heat and abuse. Never spoke about dropping or hitting accidentally and Alot more. Bottom line is that device cannot be replaced by any other options in my opinion. Great video and wish you continue to do more challenging stuff.

What a pain! I thought the HN-7 was the worst EXPENSIVE Navigator I have, but this matches it! I like the graphics of the HEMA? topo maps, but the annoying omission from the Hema? (It reminds me more of the OTM (Open Topo Maps), is all the commonly used forest tracks are not labeled! The main forest roads have road names, but not the forest 'bush' tracks. The Garmin Street Maps have almost all of the bush tracks named, so, if I want to go into the 'bush' I have to use the Garmin Street Maps to navigate to where I want to go. Having no preloaded maps loaded into the unit was also annoying and time consuming having to load them. Transferring my waypoints from any of my other Garmin devices, was a nightmare! There is a limit of only 500 waypoints at a time! I have almost a thousand waypoints, so I had to split the waypoints into two to get them to fit in. A downright unnecessary pain! Addition to that, the Overlander strips all the Garmin individual waypoints symbols from my other units to one only symbol , a flag! The menu's are all over the place, and the voice command won't recognise my voice. (yes it is enabled)! The white border surrounding the topo maps can't be disabled or switch to dark mode, so, the brightness is quite distracting! The one advantage the HN-7 has over this device, is I can download all my OziExplorer maps into it. Not the Garmin! Perhaps the designers were not from Garmin?! For the price, NOT recommended at this stage!

Connecting any Garmin Device BESIDES another Overlander just in case you would want to transfer some date from one device to the next!!

Got mine on special for $749 when Johnny Appleseed had them on special. Think they are back to full price again.

i like the mount that comes from the passengers seat bolt, what is it called and where did you get it?( please) could you mount a laptop to it? might be an idea if you don't have that lazy thousand laying around and you could use it to watch utube lol,,,this maybe my second first comment on your vids lol

Good video. Have you had any issues with getting it to read the sd cards or being recognised by computer? I have a new sod card and despite formatting it in the unit I can’t get the computer to see it. Have tried various things but no joy, so I’m thinking I’ll buy another sd card. Any thoughts? Thanks

hi does this allow you to drive out bush from a remote camp spot and it track you there while your travelling off road?, so i can follow back the same paths i took to get back to camp, couple of months back i went seriously off road bush no tracks and as it got late i started heading back the way i travelled but had to stop and camp the night as i could not see my tyre tracks, scared the crap out of me, normally im fairly good in the bush must be old age catching up with me.

I paid $300. with rebate and dealer discount and it was not worth that amount. A tablet will do most everything these will. Plus more.

I got mine for $700 with a $200 rebate, certainly worth $500...

All well and good, these "cool" features - but what about navigation to a point that is not listed. ie, you have co-ordinates and you want the device to show you direction (heading), and distance? How is that done?

One quick question Are all the off-road maps Australia wide and are they preloaded onto the unit? Do you have to pay extra for maps? Thanks for an excellent review. Subscribed👍 Cheers Mick

Can you log weigh points in it ?

What’s the reception range on one of these?

Is it waterproof for a adventure motorbike?

Does it have "Free Camp" sites like the HX2? ( Im comparing the two )

Great vid. Just another boy toy.

What about ex-urban?all urban stuff

It has a problem with the battery
