Garmin Overlander

R13,390.43

One of Garmin’s latest offering for self-drive travelers is packed with on the road features. What we like about this unit is the big screen and it’s very rugged. It’s a touch screen unit, so searching for places is easy. The magnetic mount makes it easy to remove from the vehicle or to take it into your lap for detailed map work.

Mac users should be aware that you cannot connect this unit to Basecamp on a Mac, only on Windows does it work with Basecamp. You also require the use of the Garmin Explore website to transfer user data to the unit which is not ideal for on the trip work.

ON AND OFF ROAD

MILITARY STANDARD 810

Overlander is built to the U.S. military standard 810 for thermal and shock resistance. It can be mounted anywhere, thanks to the powered magnetic mount that comes with suction cup and 1” RAM ball compatible adapter.

IP5X DUST RATING

This essential piece of overlanding gear is purpose-built from the circuit board up and is designed to withstand dust and extreme temperatures.

Go beyond the road less traveled.

GARMIN EXPLORE

Use the Garmin Explore app to download additional maps – such as satellite imagery and USGS quad sheets on 64 GB of internal storage – and sync all your data between devices. Easily import and export GPX files to Garmin Explore — even if offline.

FIND CAMPSITES

Overlander is preloaded with iOverlander POIs and Ultimate Public Campgrounds, so you don’t need a cell signal to route to the best-established, wild and dispersed campsites.

FIND BOUNDARIES

Overlander features topographic maps, including public land boundaries, 4×4 roads, forest service roads, waterways, trails and other land use data.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Customize street navigation for the size and weight of your overlanding vehicle, plus get alerts for upcoming bridge heights, weight limits, sharp curves, steep grades and more.

MULTI-GNSS SUPPORT

GPS, GLONASS and Galileo support helps track in more challenging environments than GPS alone.

NAVIGATION TOOLS

All of your overlanding equipment – such as a built-in compass, altimeter and barometer – is now in one device.

The right tools for the roughest roads.

TRACK RECORDER

Record your tracks, and save them to your Garmin Explore account so you can review them later on any device or share them with friends.

PITCH AND ROLL

Overlander comes with integrated pitch and roll angles to help you and your vehicle navigate difficult terrain.

T4A Garmin Image File Installation for the Garmin Overlander:

Note:  The Garmin Overlander requires a slightly different file structure than the other Garmin units. To install a downloadable GPS Map from Tracks4Africa you would follow these steps:
1. Insert SD Card into Adapter into a computer
2. Format the SD Card. Verify File System is FAT or FAT32
3. Create a folder with the name “Map” on the SD Card
4. Copy the T4A Traveller’s Africa ######.img file into the Map folder
5. Remove the SD Card from the computer and insert it onto the Overlander
6. Restart the Overlander
7. Navigate to “My Maps” in the “Settings” menu
8. Make sure the T4A Map displays in the list of maps and that it is checked as active
9. Deactivate all other City Navigator Maps (CN) for Africa. You can leave the DEM Maps active
10.Tracks4Africa data should now be active and visible when viewing the map

Tracks4Africas’ basic findings on the Overlander:
  • It only communicates to a Windows computer, not Mac.
  • It is possible to connect it to Basecamp on a Windows computer and we could load our maps to it and it is compatible.
  • Our SD Card version from 19.10 will work with the Overlander.  We realised that this unit and some other newer Garmin models require the folder structure on the Sd card to be slightly different and it was easy enough to include this change.
  • We could not find a way to load and copy tracks from the Overlander without having to use the Explorer app though. So that is a bit of an oversight on their side as this unit is made to use in remote areas without the implicit need for internet access.
  • The bracket the Overlander comes with does not hold up to off road travel for long.  Our unit was in fact shipped with a RAM ball adapter and I would strongly recommend doing this conversion and mounting the unit with RAM fittings and suction cups.
