Introducing the Garmin Tread. Designed for all-terrain powersports, the Tread is built tough and packed with incredible features that take your ride to the next level. Built-in sensors keep your vehicle upright and moving forward, with tons of preloaded and downloadable maps for boundaries, campsites, as well as on/off-road navigation. Group ride tracking and inReach messaging keep you and your crew on the right path. The Tread is even equipped with a dog tracker for when your furry friend goes off-roading on their own!
Read below to learn more about how the Tread's onboard tools can give you the ultimate off-road experience.
Built Tough
Built tough for all-terrain use, the Tread can take anything the elements can throw at it. IPX7-rated for water resistance and built to U.S. military standard 810 for thermal and shock resistance.
Crisp Touchscreen Display
The 5.5" ultrabright touchscreen is glove-friendly and designed for easy viewing in bright sunlight or pitch dark. Mount it in portrait or landscape mode.
Trail Navigation
Stay on the path with turn-by-turn trail navigation while traversing unpaved roads and trails using Adventure Roads and Trails map content comprised of OpenStreetMap™ and USFS Motor Vehicle Use Maps.
Off-Road Maps
Preloaded topographic maps of North and Central America with detailed street maps of North America. U.S. Forest Service Roads, trails, and Motor Vehicle Use Maps (MVUM) for full-sized 4x4s, side-by-side, ATVs and motorcycles are also included
Satellite Imagery
Download high-resolution BirdsEye Satellite Imagery directly via Wi-Fi connectivity, with no annual subscription required.
Trail Ratings
Browse Garmin's continuously growing trail database including difficulty ratings for off-road riding areas for new adventures, where available, across the U.S
Know Your Boundaries
Don't get caught in a private area with 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 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.
Mounts With Muscle
Your Tread is secure with the included powered mount and wiring harness with tube mount. It'll keep your device locked in place over the toughest terrain.
Built-In Navigational Tools
Built-in navigational and terrain guidance tools including altimeter, barometer, compass, and pitch/roll gauges.
inReach Satellite 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.
Guidance Anywhere
Keep your eyes focused on what's ahead while receiving spoken turn-by-turn directions if you choose to head back to civilization and want on-road navigation. Includes driver alerts for sharp curves, red light/speed cameras, and more.
Dog Tracking
Keep track of your furry companion when pairing the Tread with Garmin GPS dog systems (sold separately). 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 Tracking
Keep track of your buddies from your compatible smartphone or Tread when the group is using the Tread app's Group Ride 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
Receive live weather, storm alerts, animated radar, and more when paired with the Tread App.
Accessories Control
With the compatible Garmin PowerSwitch digital switch box (sold separately), you can enable on-screen control for 12-volt electronics, light bars, differential locks, and more.
Point Of Interest
Preloaded iOverlander™ points of interest and Ultimate Public Campgrounds, so you won't need a cell signal to route to the best-established, wild, and dispersed campsites.
Built-In Music Player
A built-in media player lets you easily control music loaded on your compatible smartphone on the navigator’s display and hear your favorite songs through your helmet or headset.
Optional Back-up Camera
Add some extra eyes to your vehicle by pairing Tread with up to 4 wireless BC40 or BC50 cameras! They easily mount to your vehicle’s tube frame, flat panel, or roll cage.
