Off-Road Sat Nav Buying Guide
Garmin zumo XT3 - the new flagship
The zumo XT3 is the current flagship Garmin motorcycle sat nav, available in 4.7-inch and 6-inch screen sizes. Both versions include 64GB internal storage, a live lean angle gauge, FREE lifetime UK and Europe map updates, Bluetooth hands-free calling, and full waterproofing to IPX7. The 6-inch is the better choice for longer touring or riders who prefer a larger screen; the 4.7-inch suits riders who prefer a more compact unit or ride a smaller bike. View the Garmin zumo XT3.
Garmin Tread 2 - powersports and all-terrain
The Tread 2 is designed for powersports use beyond motorcycles - ATVs, UTVs, and all-terrain vehicles. Its preloaded maps cover Europe, Africa (including Tracks4Africa) and the Middle East with topographic detail. BirdsEye Satellite Imagery can be downloaded over Wi-Fi for off-road route planning. View the Garmin Tread 2.
Handheld GPS for off-road use
For riders and adventurers who need satellite communicator capability as well as navigation, the Garmin Montana 760i and Montana 710i include built-in inReach for two-way messaging and 24/7 SOS alongside preloaded TopoActive Europe maps. The Garmin GPSMAP H1i Plus combines a 3.5-inch touchscreen, front and rear cameras, and inReach in a compact handheld unit.
Off-Road Sat Nav FAQs
Do you have a question about off-road sat navs that is not answered on this page? Call us on 01733 777623 Monday to Friday (9:30am-5pm) or use our online contact form.
What is the difference between the Garmin Tread 2 and the Garmin zumo XT3?
The Garmin Tread 2 and the zumo XT3 are designed for different primary uses. The Tread 2 is a powersports navigator built for all-terrain vehicles including ATVs, UTVs and quad bikes, with preloaded topographic maps covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East including Tracks4Africa, and the ability to download BirdsEye Satellite Imagery over Wi-Fi for detailed off-road navigation. The zumo XT3 is a motorcycle sat nav designed for road and adventure riding, with a glove-friendly touchscreen, motorcycle-specific routing, a live lean angle gauge and FREE lifetime UK and Europe map updates. If you primarily ride a motorcycle, the zumo XT3 is the right choice. If you use an ATV, UTV or other powersports vehicle, the Tread 2 is the more suitable device.
Can I use a motorcycle sat nav off-road on an ATV or quad bike?
The Garmin zumo XT3 is designed primarily for motorcycle use and includes road maps rather than detailed topographic off-road maps. It is waterproof and robust, but its routing and mapping are optimised for road-based adventure riding rather than off-road trail navigation. For ATV, UTV and quad bike use, the Garmin Tread 2 is the purpose-built choice, as it includes preloaded topographic and street maps, off-road trail data and the ability to download satellite imagery. For walkers, hikers and riders who need detailed off-road mapping and satellite communicator capability, the Garmin Montana 760i, Montana 710i or GPSMAP H1i Plus are the recommended options.
Do off-road sat navs include topographic maps?
The Garmin Tread 2 includes preloaded topographic and street maps covering Europe, Africa including Tracks4Africa, and the Middle East. The Garmin Montana 760i, Montana 710i and GPSMAP H1i Plus include preloaded Garmin TopoActive Europe maps, which provide detailed contour mapping, footpaths, bridleways and off-road trails across the UK and Europe. The Garmin zumo XT3 includes road maps with FREE lifetime UK and Europe updates but does not include topographic detail - it is designed for road-based adventure and touring routes.
What is the difference between the Garmin Montana 760i and the Montana 710i?
Both the Garmin Montana 760i and Montana 710i are rugged handheld GPS units with preloaded TopoActive Europe maps, built-in inReach satellite communicator, compass, altimeter and 32GB internal memory with a 5-inch colour touchscreen. The key difference is that the Montana 760i adds an 8 megapixel digital camera for geotagged photography - useful for documenting routes and locations. The Montana 710i does not include a camera. Both models support optional mapping via microSD card and have a 24-hour battery life. If photography on the trail matters to you, choose the 760i. If not, the 710i offers the same core capability at a lower price.
What is inReach and do I need it on a GPS device?
Garmin inReach is a satellite communication platform built into certain Garmin devices that lets you send and receive two-way messages, track and share your GPS location, and trigger a 24/7 global SOS alert - all from anywhere on Earth, even where there is no mobile signal. It uses the Iridium satellite network, which provides 100% global coverage. inReach requires an active subscription plan to use the messaging and SOS features. It is built into the Garmin Montana 760i, Montana 710i and GPSMAP H1i Plus. The compact Garmin inReach Mini 2 is a standalone satellite communicator for those who want inReach capability without a full handheld GPS. If you ride, hike or travel in areas with no mobile coverage, inReach provides a genuine safety net.
Can the Garmin zumo XT3 be used off-road as well as on-road?
Yes. The Garmin zumo XT3 is fully waterproof to IPX7 and built to handle the vibration and exposure of adventure riding both on and off sealed roads. It includes adventurous routing options that favour winding and hilly roads, and it can import GPX tracks for pre-planned off-road routes. However, the zumo XT3 uses road maps rather than topographic maps, so it is best suited to adventure riding on tracks and unsealed roads rather than deep wilderness navigation. For detailed topographic mapping and trail navigation, the Garmin Montana range or the Garmin Tread 2 are more appropriate choices.
What maps are included with the Garmin Tread 2?
The Garmin Tread 2 comes preloaded with topographic and street maps covering Europe, Africa including Tracks4Africa trail and off-road data, and the Middle East. In addition, you can download high-resolution BirdsEye Satellite Imagery directly to the device over Wi-Fi for detailed visual reference on off-road routes. The Tread 2 also supports public land boundaries and motor vehicle use maps for off-road trail planning. Map updates are available via the Garmin Express desktop application or the Garmin TREAD smartphone app.
Do I need a satellite communicator as well as a sat nav?
For riders and hikers who stay within mobile coverage, a sat nav alone is sufficient. If your routes take you into remote areas where mobile signal is unreliable - including many parts of the Scottish Highlands, Welsh mountains, moorland, and overseas adventure destinations - a satellite communicator provides a safety backup that no mobile phone can replicate. The Garmin Montana 760i, Montana 710i and GPSMAP H1i Plus combine full GPS navigation with built-in inReach, so you do not need to carry a separate device. The compact Garmin inReach Mini 2 is the right choice for riders or hikers who already have a sat nav or smartphone but want to add satellite communication capability without bulk.
