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
