I have had the Garmin Tread larger side-by-side unit for nine months now and have to say it is a awesome unit. I have had more East Coast trails on my Garmin then my friend had on his Polaris ride command. Plus now they have a back up camera for the larger tread side-by-side. If you ride far away from any medical help then the Inreach subscription is a no-brainer.
@@rebeccaStanke I spoke to Garmin about this and I believe they need the Tread also. Another reason I did not purchase the SXS model is unless your friends purchase same unit, its not usuable
Sorry but this review is not correct. The base 8” tread does NOT come with radio mike and radio compatibility. You must purchase the Tread SXS model which is $399 more. Rocky Mountain usually does great reviews, but this one has many errors in the capabilities of this unit. Still a great product but do your homework
Yes, there is a base model, but we are referring to the powersports line which we carry. All the powersports line have the radio function. We do not carry the ones without radio functionality.

I wish they made it compatible with Ride Command like the Voyager Pro

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that these are awesome. - Chase
Curious if you can use the Rugged Radios R1 with these microphones.
Need a video of headset connectivity. Cardo? Sena? Can it PTT? PDF says yes but nobody seems to do it
Do I have to have the group ride radio feature to have the group ride tracking ?
Can you install back roads maps on this unit
There are lots of downloadable maps for this unit.
How do you group ride with others who do not have a Garmin. I can't see the other riders.
For a rider to be in your group ride, they also need to be using a Garmin device with the Group Ride feature.
@@rmatvmcare you sure? I thought other riders just needed to be running the Tread app on their phones?
@@ThisTall That may work if they have cell phone coverage. Otherwise SOL
