Power draw is about 6 watts at 12.8 volts.

The included magnetic mount, that attaches the Overlander to a mounting bracket, includes a connector for the USB for power or power/traffic cable, but does not duplicate the devices 3.5mm audio output, diminishing the utility of the quick install/removal with the magnetic mount.

Current Garmin Overlander software version installed is 5.40.I am posting this as I was unable to find/confirm this information, prior to purchasing the Overlander, and thought others might find it useful. Apologies if you have heard all of the following before. Please find below my observations, impressions and issues with a newly purchased Garmin Overlander in December 2021. A current model iPad Air starts at CAD $780, an iPad mini starts at CAD $650, and a Microsoft Surface Go 3 Platinum (Core i3, 8GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, 1920x1280 10.5” display, etc.) is CAD $820. For context, the Overlander costs CAD $950, but was recently on sale for CAD $820. With some trepidation, I thought it would be worthwhile to give the Garmin Overlander a try. I subsequently contacting Garmin support to investigate if shortcomings identified in reviews had been addressed with software updates. The Montana 700 series and GPSMAP 276Cx seem like great models, except they (somewhat understandably) don’t include a hands-free calling interface.Īfter the usually scrutiny of the available product options, I read and watched a number of reviews and various forums regarding the Garmin Overlander. Recently my need has developed for something with the Oregon’s feature set, but with a larger screen and hands-free calling support. I also use the NMEA 0183 interface and a Garmin tempe sensor with the Oregon 650T. For the last number of years, I have used a Garmin Oregon 650T handheld for outdoor, off-road and on-road navigator. I have been a Garmin handheld user since the GPS II+. TL DR: To quote a meme “My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.” Even after two years of updates, the Garmin Overlander is an overpriced poser with delusions of off-road capability. can't see any way of doing that in the Garmin Explore online Tool. The beauty of BC is the ability to be able create/modify tracks easily as well. I really would like to purchase an Overlander unit but I don't want to continually have to do some long workaround to get all my GPS data onto the device every time I go on a touring/exploring trip. Just curious but what happens when u connect the Overlander to your PC and thus to BC? On the left-hand side of the screen, what to u see? If u can see any USB drives that u plugin, surely u would also see the Overlander come up as a Device? If not, is there some way u can get into the heart of the Overlander's internal settings and change the settings to make it work on BC?

I'd like to keep BC going purely for this reason but I also would like to upgrade my old Montana 650 GPS to the Overlander version, but from the small amount I've read on here, it's not possible. I've got over 14,000 waypoints and 4500 tracklogs covering all of Australia. I haven't 'yet' read through this whole post but I've been using Basecamp for years for trip planning and as my Library for storing all my past Trips and hopefully future trips.
