Read the manual mate, there is so many features your missing out on. eg vehicle set up with trailer or camper. you can program the units to load and share tracks waypoints etc as well.

G'day Ronny, This is not in our case overkill so please read, we run (4) GPS devices, because were an off-road expedition truck weighing 14 Ton fully loaded we have to run
1. A dedicated truck GPS, (low bridges, weak bridges & weight restricted roads) 2. A comprehensive up to date Topo GPS, 3. A general town, city etc GPS & 4. my favorite one
The Ozy Explorer. Thank goodness for a full size truck cab to fit all this crap in.

Found your channel a few weeks back and trolling through your archive while being laid up after surgery. Great way to kill the hours and itchy at the bit to get out in the bush👍

I’ve got one! And love it! I spotted yours a few months back after I had gotten one. We’ve just used it for a 5 week trip around Norway and Finland this summer. Was a great tool to have!!

I use a $400 10.1" android tablet with Backcountry Navigator and GaiaGPS. I'll often have them both running as sometimes a track will be on one but not the other. For example BCN on the tablet and GaiaGPS on the phone.
Both are offroad/offline topographic navigation apps for hikers, 4wd'ers etc for android and Apple phones and devices. I also have the programs on an old Galaxy phone mounted on my KTM enduro motorcycle.
I plan trips on Google Earth by creating routes and POI's, save as a kml file and upload to the two navigation programs.

I just purchased one . My HX2 was faulty and replaced about 6 weeks ago. The new one has the same problem.

Glad to find someone who likes this. I don’t think the features justify the asking price, overland tax included but either looking forward to the next model or the old one on clearance.

Great device! I absolutely love mine. You can get the exoskeleton case and get even more protection. I cut out the back of the exo case to still be able to use the magnetic mount. Cutting the case allows easy swapping between trucks, I even use it in my boat in conjunction with a depth finder. You can extend the awake time so it’s more useful out of the charger. I believe 15 min is the max awake time so no worries about it dying. This also keeps from having to hit all the startup stuff after a quick stop. I also have the reverse camera because of my rear bar. Reverse camera is slightly glitchy sometimes but ok for the most part. Hopefully this helps anyone on the fence about buying one.

Love your input on the GPS device you use. I however use a different software and device. The feature I use most often is planning and uploading new tracks with Google Earth then downloading it to my smart phone and tablet. The track is also backed up on my laptop. New tracks and waypoints are added similar to the way you do on your device. I am able to sync all my devices as others have shared this can be done with your device. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy them. Thanks for sharing.

I've also found those spitters in the bush.Best thing I ever found was an old antique logging truck with a 265 Chrysler engine with the air still in the tyres.This was off a track of a track off another track deep in no man's land in between Dwellingup and Karnet prison...

[UserManson]

Stellar work on the dramatisation, I wouldn’t have understood what buying actually means

[stevegoodwin]

Got on last week, nice bit of kit so far,

[MuddyRuttzz]

Great! I have GPS Maps 66i from Garmin. Love it. Looks like the Overlander is awesome. We sell them at Bass Pro and I get a hefty discount.

[jjsadv]

GNSS will be around for your life time Ronny. Starlink has nothing to do with positioning.

[shanesambo]

Love your new Troopie bro. Just got myself the last of the V8 200 series in 2020. But now I also want a troopie. They are so handy. I can use it for my work too.

[AndrewKumler]

Agreed, brilliant navigator. I mounted mine in place of the rear view mirror( cant see out back because of topper anyway) and installed the hard wire kit for factory like charging. Love it.

[overland_adventure_nz]

Thanks for a great review, I got myself one a few months ago after the offroad disappointment with Google Maps etc.

[rossstewart]

Yes if the price comes down It is my next nav tool.
Good travelling and yes don't be lazy read the bloody manual. Ross from South-east Queensland.

[coreydark]

Yes I would and fun fact over the past couple of years Queensland Fire and Rescue have been buying and fitting this GPS to their trucks.

Hi Ronny i bought a few months ago only used it once, it seams to be reliable which is most important. Tell me something with the track recorder after recording can the recording be used in reverse to return to where you started . Also ronny for those people who don't like those useless windscreen mounts i have a Dmax and i made a bracket from steel sheet metal and mounted the magnetic part of the charging base off the handle you use when pulling yourself up into the cabin using one of the screws which attachers the handle. regards Mark enjoy your video's mate.
