Explore more with the Garmin Overlander, a
whole new navigation experience for adventure travelers
OLATHE, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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, 4x4 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,
