Customer Reviews
Prior to using the Garmin Tread I have been racing with the Lowrance GPS for years. It has always been OK, but it was pretty limited to what it could show/do. The Garmin Tread is a true GPS unit, and it was flawless for our first race. Being able to adjust the background colors, details in the map, line color, and having the ticker on the side that shows waypoints that are still coming up was a great option to have as well. I have the race version, but expect we will be adding the chase versions as well for the chase trucks in the future. Very happy with the change to the Garmin!
We are new to the Baja, but have been running a 2006 Lawrance. This is a real update, that will help get us to the new era of GPS.
Here's a youtube link on our review. This is an excellent unit, and if you're new, buy it! If you're a seasoned offroad racer who's already invested in other nav kits, try it before buying. You might be surprised by how much you like it.

Thank you for the awesome review and great video!
I have received my Garmin Baja Edition from PCI. It arrived quickly and in Perfect Condition! I have the Baja Edition mounted in my race car. First impression is it looks NICE! Looks well built. But what I'm looking forward to is the ability to remove the unit from the car to do prep art the house or the Hotel Room. Looking forward to getting all the bells and whistles figured out. And use this racing!
