I was camped at Cape Lookout Seashore for a trip last year and had a similar situation where someone camped 20 yards away. There is 50 miles of beach to camp on and I don’t know what lead them to decide right next to me was the prime spot. In contrast I pulled into a little camp area in NC after nightfall.. The camp spots were all taken, but there was a place to park in between two of the sites. I asked both people if they minded and they were fine. I popped open the fridge and gave them some frosty thank you drinks. Glad they were ok with it since the nearest spot I knew of was 30 min away and I was beat from a long day driving.

Great video Paul. I have a question about the speed and notifications while driving. My Overlander would show the speed limit, (which I see the Tread does) and also give you an audio tone and visual notification when the speed limit was about to decrease. Also, the speed box would turn red if you went above the speed limit. Does the Tread do this? I found this to be very helpful while traveling. Thanks

My son and I just drove the Florida Adventure Trail (FAT) and our go to navigation tool was an Ipad mini loaded with ONX and the FAT mapping. We downloaded the map data beforehand as we expected to not have some cellular coverage (AT&T) in some areas and we were right. The IPAD was connected via hotspot on my son's IPhone. Worked perfectly - off line mapping kicked in whenever we lost cellular, the ONX subscription doesn't break the bank, one time purchase of the FAT was cheap, and we had an old IPAD mini so we didn't have to buy a dedicated device. Used a BULLET mounting system and had no complaints. We did talk about this GARMIN device for future trips (my son and his family love going off roading) but to be honest the price was the turn off. I would loan my son my Garmin i700 Montana if he goes out to more remote areas, we just activate a monthly subscription for the SOS function and cancel when he returns. I know this device has everything you would want but that's just it - it has it all so if it busts you could be up the creek with no paddle.
@mtnmnchronicles6 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment. I always appreciate people's input and thoughts. I used OnX and my Garmin this week on an adventure and had some challenges with OnX keeping on the trail. Also, it does not support turn-by-turn. But there are many things I found I liked about OnX too. I do agree with the purchase price; the tread can be pricey. Here is why I chose Garmin Tread. I used a Garmin Montana for years and then went to the Garmin 66I. I still own the 66I and use it when I hike or hunt. After 6 years, I decided to upgrade my GPS and Inreach. I almost purchased a 700I , but decided on the Tread because I wanted a dedicated Rig mounted device. IMO it is a personal preference there is wrong answer. For me personally, I did not like loading maps on ONX and Gaia, I do not have to do this on a Garmin. I wanted to be able to share maps and GPX’s files with people. You can not do this with OnX, but you can with Gaia. I wanted to lessen my dependency on multiple devices in my kit (one for InReach, the other for mapping). I have been a long-time Garmin user of Montana, Inreach Mini Vrs1, 66I, Garmin Overlander and now Tread. I have all my maps in Garmin Explorer on the Web and can easily share them. I understand the concern about all maps and everything on one device; It is a legitimate concern. The same can be said for using a Tablet for mapping, and I believe in redundancy. Therefore I keep paper maps of areas I travel to, and also use Mapping apps with a basic map function on my phone. My phone acts as a secondary device in case of a Garmin failure. That said I have never had a Garmin fail me. I have with Gaia and OnX where the maps did not load correctly or I missed a portion of the map because of an unplanned detour. I believe people have choices, and there is no wrong choice for each individual. If OnX works for you and your son, then that would be great. It is a great tool, there are things I like about it. What is important is that you are out there exploring and enjoying the experience. I appreciate your comments and thoughts. Paul
