    Garmin Tread Overland Edition - any users yet?

    Probably the only feature gap that people would care about it the 4 camara system, but they updated it to an HD camera system along with night vision options. I have extensive experience with both as an owner. What specific software gaps were you referring too?

    Garmin Tread Overland Edition - any users yet?

    The old cameras really sucked. They had poor resolution and the range was pretty bad. The new ones can be put on the back of a trailer and carry a 720p picture which is on par with the rest of the backup camera industry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Upgrade from the Overlander. What a game changer. Love this thing. MVUM built in. Routable based on vehicle profiles you program into the unit. Ask away if you have any questions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Redarc BCDC Charger and Yeti 1500x

    Makes sense and this is what I figured. The Redarc will present a constant 12v 25amp feed the Yeti can draw from giving full input power.

    Redarc BCDC Charger and Yeti 1500x

    Bison owner here too. And I'm aware of the upfitter guide and have read through it. Turning on the specific items doesn't always throw the alternator into high gear. The particular instance was a 105F and a very long 8+ hour drive. Truck was cruising with a 70F in the cab and doing just fine. So...

    Redarc BCDC Charger and Yeti 1500x

    I'm looking at several different options right now, but I had some thoughts with Goal Zero and smart alternators. Last summer on a trip through Northern California, my GZ Yeti 400 died from powering my CFX55 even while it was plugged it. What I found was that the car charger from Goal Zero with...

    Thanks for posting. That isn't as clear as I hoped it would be.

    And to think, you can have up to 4 separate cameras! And the Garmin Switch to control everything else on the truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unfortunately not. Heck, I've never seen it go on sale either.

    Garmin Overlander

    I was able to take GPX files from my iPhone via the SD card reader, add the files, then load them to the Garman. By all accounts that should’ve been the most impossible feat in all of technology. And I did that a couple weeks ago before the update. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Garmin Overlander

    Pretty sure your just looking for a paper map. I get that Garmin is a bit closer to being fool proof as tech goes, but it’s still not without updates, reboots etc. Again, this is the Overlander specifically. It’s quite a bit different from previous Garmin units. My Montana, was as you say, a...

    Garmin Overlander

    There is literally nothing not flashy about this device. It’s maps are far more engaging than any phone map program. The exit ramp feature is superior to every other app. So much information is conveyed on the right window. The maps are vivid, 3-D, clear and detailed. People are really missing...
