Off-road GPS is the vital complement to paper maps – and crucial for the road less travelled. Naturally, such a device needs to be tough enough to cope with the lumps and bumps of off-road terrain, something that Garmin’s rugged GPS models are specifically designed for. Crystal-clear displays provide turn-by-turn directions, with a choice of screen size to integrate into the layout of your 4X4 cabin and your personal preference.

4X4 adventures don’t just increase navigational confidence, the Garmin pre-loaded tech will alert you to points of interest as well. One of the greatest advantages of an off-road GPS unit is that it increases awareness of the terrain hazards ahead. Seamlessly move from sealed road navigation to the thrill of the dusty, muddy, sandy trails you crave, safe in the knowledge that your trusty Garmin will keep you on track.  If you want to explore further on foot or by bike, simply detach it from the strong magnetic mount and let it guide your way…

Do Garmin off-road GPS systems have good Australian maps?

They certainly do, which is one of the reasons they’re a favourite with the Aussie off-roading community. They come pre-loaded with 4X4 trails, highly detailed topographic maps, boundaries, campsites and off-road points of interest. Additional maps can be downloaded if required, via Garmin Explore and the Adventurous Routing feature.

Do Garmin rugged GPS units come in different sizes? 

Yes, they do. The Garmin Overlander Rugged GPS unit has an impressive 7” display, while the Garmin Tread Powersport offers a more compact, 5.5” option – perfect for when dash space is at a premium or you want to dual-use it for biking or hiking.

Can I sync a Garmin off-road GPS with other devices?  

Of course – and it’s all done through the Garmin Explore app. Sync it with your phone, laptop, desktop or any other device you choose. 

Any other advantages of buying a Garmin off-road GPS? 

Yep… The built-in compass, altimeter and barometer are all important tools to enhance your exploration. The further from the beaten track you go (and in Oz, there’s a whole lot of country on offer), the more important such features are.
