First of all it does work as a GPS. BUT, if I wanted just a simple GPS I could have saved hundreds of dollars and purchased such a product.Using satellite view is by far the easiest way to navigate since you can quickly identify landmarks such as open fields, heavily wooded areas, structures, and more. So the most significant issue for me has been the inability to load, and later, alter satellite views of the different areas I travel to. The on board memory only allows relatively small sections to be loaded (slowly at that) so if you want to ride your sled or side-by-side on a multi day ride across a large swath of state then removing previous downloads are required to load new areas. Now, that's a pain but not nearly as frustrating as when the GPS stops the download at 74% then refuses to continue on or let you cancel the download and start over with maybe a smaller area to upload. So the Satellite subscription at this point is useless. Didn't see anything addressing this on Garmin's Support website so when the sleding season is over, I'll try to do a complete reset of the GPS and try again. Hopefully I can download my saved landmarks from the computer but all this is time consuming and shouldn't be necessary.Other annoyances:Not intuitive or instructions on saving downloaded Satellite images to SD card to free up memory.No instructions and seemingly no possibility of customizing main screen (easy to customize some sub menus).Not very glove friendly screen.No quick method to adjust screen brightness. Auto adjust doesn't dim enough for me at night.No cable and tube mount package offerings by Garmin to allow GPS to be simply clicked into another vehicle. Yes, we ride sleds side-by-sides here on same day sometimes. Sure, it looks possible to search for separate mounts and cabling and piece them together (keeping in mind the necessary proprietary electrical connection) - BUT WHY. Make a kit. Better yet, make a kit that doesn't cost $100.Not a complete list off the top of my head but some of my more major gripes.This GPS is not ready for prime time. As it is, it's overpriced and under supported. Sure, you could probably Google issues, watch YouTube videos, or join a chat group to address the issues I've had. But why should the consumer, that's paying good money, beta test a purchased item?If you can go without downloading and using satellite views, customizing the screen is not a big deal, and if your placement is out of line of sight then this GPS works fine. It hasn't stranded me in three feet of snow in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the night, so it does seem waterproof and rugged. I gave it two stars for serving as a GPS in adverse conditions. And, if you don't care to use it in multiple vehicles, all the better. But I think it's overpriced for what Garmin claims it should do and ease of correcting issues.

J'ai reçu l'article qui avais déjà été utilisé et figé sur l'écran de démarrage impossible de se servir de l'appareil... l'écran touch screen ne fonctionne pas du tout!!!

I have tried several different gps units including a tablet and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I run VV Mapping snowmobile and ORV maps for Michigan and it is as simple as inserting the micro and card in the Tread 2 and selecting the appropriate VV Map. Now I know exactly where I am at which is the battle.

The pre loaded Ontario Canada snowmobile trails are very very very poor & not accurate at all

Works great fast shipping

I purchased this gps because it states “connects to Inreach”….I have a Inreach Explorer Plus which is the top of the line unit but it cannot connect to my Tread 2. This should made clear so people don’t waste their money.
