About: Garmin Tread Base Edition 5.5” Powersport Navigator
This rugged powersport GPS navigator keeps you on track over dirt and snow. The rugged Tread off-road GPS is IPX7 weather-resistant and features a glove-friendly 5.5” touchscreen display.
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 ultra bright 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.
Maps for Off-Road
Tread features preloaded topographic maps of North and Central America and detailed street maps of North America. It also includes trail maps 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.
Easily Sync Your Devices
Use the Tread app 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.
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 communicators (sold separately) for two-way text messaging, interactive SOS and weather.
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.
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. This includes driver alerts for sharp curves, red light/speed cameras and more.
Live Weather
Weather ahead? Pair Tread with your compatible smartphone, and download the Tread app to access live weather, storm alerts, animated radar and more.
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.
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.
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.
