Garmin Overlander: Navigator Designed for Off-road

Exploring new paths: for some, it can be considered one of the many slogans adopted by manufacturers to promote SUVs, crossovers, and cars that have only the look of off-road vehicles. For others, however, off-road is a serious matter: venturing out of paved roads becomes a necessity to express one’s personality and freedom. For this, there are cars like Jeep and Land Rover, so there are navigators like the new Garmin Overlander.

All new Garmin Overlander is a satellite navigation device designed to be as effective on the road as in the most remote off-road trails. It is a multi-satellite navigation system (with GPS, Galileo and Glonass sensors) all-in-one, designed to meet the needs of the increasingly numerous overlanding community.

Overlander is sold with pre-loaded detailed maps of Europe, the Middle East and most of Africa. It also includes the Tracks4Africa database, a collection of tracks and points of interest throughout the African continent. Interaction is also facilitated for off-road use: as soon as a slightly beaten track is presented, travelers can quickly switch to topographic maps and continue their off-road adventure.

Among the sensors included are the compass, the altimeter, the barometer and the clinometer for when you venture on off-road routes, through mountain passes or along particularly difficult paths.
