Great unit, the best off road mapping. Shows trails like never before. I sure have fun exploring new areas. I hope Garmin will make it a waterproof unit in the future.
Pros: Nice 7 inch screen. Great charging station. Love the options.
Cons: Not waterproof, short battery life when off the charger.

It is a decent GPS but nothing worthy of the high price...
Scott from BRIER, WA on 12/2/2021
I selected this one because I was hoping for a better experience after purchasing the Montana 750i. At the very least, the operating system on this unit is acceptable and on-par with other Garmin vehicle units. It's basically a slightly rugged Android tablet with a custom Android OS. I wanted a dedicated unit that would have easy mounting in the vehicle and ability to interact with an InReach Mini. The magnetic mount on this is great. There is no complaint there and it is nice to have the power to the mount only so you can just pop off the screen when you want without any cords. But it's still a slow OS and tablet with very limited functionality. Compared with my iPad Mini 4 that is many years old with the Gaia app, there's nothing this Overlander has apart from the cool mount. The iPad as a navigation unit completely blows this out of the water. The Montana handheld is so disappointing, like an oversized Palm Pilot from 2003. This is better, but not even close to being as fast, versatile and reliable as a simple iPad which can be had for less than half the price of this. My solution seems to be a nice rugged mount for the iPad paired with an InReach Mini. I wish Garmin would step-up their game because I do like the idea of a dedicated unit. While the hardware like the mount and case design is excellent, it falls way short with specs and software.
Pros: The magnetic mount is outstanding. Case is nice too. Ability to connect to InReach Mini (though any bluetooth device can do the same thing).
Cons: Slow operating system. Screen is too glossy and not bright enough. Very limited features. Very expensive for basically a slightly ruggedized cheap Android tablet.

Garman overlander
Crutchfield customer from Belen, NM on 9/16/2021
So far so good,have only used a few times but works good and easy to use. Played around with some maps and found a few places I didn't know about. Still learning all the functionality, it makes finding campsites very easy
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Price is a little high

I like the Overlander a lot. I wish there was a built in legend for the type of land ownership. Also found that you get way different results on where you search for campgrounds.

So Far - So Good. Much better than a regular automobile road GPS. Software contains maps beyond where the pavement ends.

Underwhelmed
Crutchfield customer from Holland, MI on 8/14/2021
I am kind of underwhelmed with the performance. Multiple times this week it would calculate the route up to 79% and then stop. It also lost where we were on the trail and would take 3 to 4 minutes to figure out that we had turned. We weren't in heavy cover, open view of the sky. This cost a lot of money for only fair performance. The biggest plus is the screen size.
Pros: Size of screen. Clarity of screen. Track back feature.
Cons: Multiple "Could not calculate route". lost track of us periodically for longer than I was comfortable with.

Flexablity!
Crutchfield customer from Johnstown, PA on 12/13/2020
This is the coolest! I have all my maps, topography, street and many parks and camping options in one. Also, this will stand alone with me during different hiking and atv-off road situations. Versatility is what I am saying.
Pros: Tough as nails.
Cons: None, it's a Garmin

Great GPS but not perfect, yet.
Crutchfield customer from Gonzales, LA on 9/13/2019
The large screen is excellent and the RAM mount make mounting options endless. As far as the GPS goes, of course the the roads and highways maps are pretty up to date and the navigation is easy to manage. The off road gps could use a little help but this is to be expected. As more trails and forest roads are updated I'm sure that Garmin will keep the software up to date as well. As far as the price is concerned I feel that the Garmin Overlander may be a little overpriced for what you get. I think that this is a great option for off-readers to provide some peace of mind and to me peace of mind is priceless.
