Explore more with the Garmin® Overlander, a whole new navigation experience for adventure travelers
Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced the all-terrain Garmin
Overlander™, an all-in-one GPS navigator specifically designed to
fit the needs of the growing overlanding community. From navigating the
intricate roads of suburbia to exploring remote regions of the great
outdoors, the Overlander offers turn-by-turn, world-renowned directions
from Garmin and built-in topo (topography) maps. Thanks to this detailed
topo mapping data, travelers can use the Overlander for off-grid
guidance covering public land boundaries, 4×4 roads for North and South
America and much more. Built for the journey ahead, the rugged
Overlander features a 7-inch color touchscreen display and is preloaded
with adventure-specific content like iOverlander™ points of
interest (POIs) and Ultimate Public Campgrounds so it’s easier to find
new places to camp, hunt, or even fly fish, off the grid – no cell
signal required.
“What sets the Garmin Overlander apart, is the opportunity it provides
adventure travelers to escape modern life and create unique journeys
through remote regions of the world that would otherwise be difficult to
navigate or explore,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin worldwide vice president
of consumer sales. “The Overlander provides an ecosystem like no other
where travelers can plan their routes on a desktop or phone,
automatically sync the information to the navigator for use, and take
advantage of mapping solutions that are either preloaded or downloaded
to the device for the ultimate overlanding experience.”
Stay connected when traveling to remote or international locations by
pairing an Overlander with the Garmin inReach® Mini satellite
communicator1 for two-way text messaging, and the ability to
transmit vital interactive SOS distress signals in case of an emergency.
Designed for adventures of all sizes, the Overlander offers helpful
custom routing based on the height, weight and length of the overlanding
vehicle to simplify navigation. Drivers can stay attuned to the road
less traveled with the Overlander’s integration of pitch and roll gauges
when off-roading through high-mountain passes or navigating through
rocky trails. Additional built-in navigation sensors, like a digital
compass and a barometric altimeter, also help maintain accurate bearings
that can be especially useful for multi-week or month-long trips in the
wilderness.
Make the most out of every overlanding experience with the Garmin Explore™
app. After downloading the app to a compatible smartphone, users can
wirelessly sync memorable tracks, scenic routes, or even old mining
waypoints across their Overlander navigator, smartphone, and desktop. In
addition to syncing and sharing experiences from anywhere, explorers can
use the app to download advanced mapping solutions that include U.S.
satellite imagery, USGS quad sheets and more for all the challenging to
scenic overlanding destinations.
Tough and dependable, the Overlander was designed to withstand the
elements, even in places where trails and roads are nearly inaccessible.
It includes a powered magnetic-mount system with a suction cup, and a
RAM compatible adapter. Available now, the Garmin Overlander has a
suggested retail price of $699.99. To learn more, visit garmin.com/overlander
