Garmin Tread XL Baja Chase Edition – Rugged 10-inch Off-Road Navigator with inReach Team Tracking

Overview

Conquer unforgiving off road environments with the Garmin Tread XL Baja Chase Edition. This rugged portable navigator packs a bright 10 inch touchscreen, built to stay legible in harsh desert sun and harsh terrain. Its IP67 rating guards against dust and water exposure, while a sturdy chassis resists heat and shock, keeping essential navigation tools within reach during long days on the track.

Live team tracking and satellite communication

The device includes built in inReach technology for live team tracking and messaging across global satellite coverage. With an active inReach Flex Team subscription, race vehicles and support trucks can see each other’s positions and exchange updates without relying on cellular networks. This capability supports coordinated pit stops, repairs, and real time status sharing across wide areas, giving teams a new level of situational awareness while staying grounded in achievable expectations rather than guarantees.

• Share live positions on a single map and reply with simple messages to keep teams aligned.
• Global satellite coverage enables communication in areas with limited or no cell service.

Secure mounting and easy portability

Designed for in truck use, the Baja Chase Edition offers a heavy duty suction cup, CLA and portable locking magnet assisted mount. The system is built to move quickly between support trucks, helping teams stay organized during rapid shifts in the chase sequence or pit workflow.

• Rugged mounting options that stay secure in rough conditions.
• Simple transfer between vehicles to keep the navigator within arm’s reach.

Course planning and race visualization

Import GPX course files to view every essential element: course start and end, racetrack lines, virtual checkpoints, pit locations and mile markers. This helps teams anticipate key moments and align pacing with strategic objectives, without promising exact outcomes.

• Clear visualization of waypoints and race structure on the map.
• Prerun pacenotes can be created to flag sharp turns, drops or hazards ahead.

Real time tracking and aerial context

Chase mode delivers live updates of the chase vehicle on the map, while optional high resolution BirdsEye imagery adds vivid aerial context of the surrounding terrain. The unit’s design is tuned for hot desert temperatures and rugged rock terrain, offering reliable performance in demanding environments.

• Live chase updates support dynamic decision making on the track.
• BirdsEye imagery enhances situational awareness with detailed top down views.

Connectivity and power management

When paired with the Garmin PowerSwitch digital switch box (sold separately), you can control 12‑volt vehicle accessories such as rock lights, fans and air pumps from the navigator, streamlining field operations and keeping essential gear coordinated.

Note: Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit satellite communications devices. Always verify local regulations before use.
