This is GMR designed and manufactured product. Protect your Garmin Tread® products and tablet devices like them overheat in direct sunlight.

Garmin Tread® products and tablet devices like them overheat in direct sunlight. When they're mounted to a windshield, these navigators run a-ok when the AC is blowing. What happens when the device is on and the truck is turned off? No AC? Hot day in Baja? Through the windshield, the sunlight bakes these electronics like an oven. The white heat shields give the unit some shade, about a 8-15 F (4-8C) cooler when the windshield is in direct sunlight. We haven’t tested the gray or black ones, but customers have requested differing colors.

When the units overheat, they’ll turn off. Sometimes, they even master reset in the process. A master reset removes all saved data on your Tread device, including the precious birdseye imagery.

What is the heat shield made out of? ASA has a maximum operating temperature of 216F (102C), which is much higher than the electronic unit it’s protecting.

  • Warranty? No warranty for shields sold through Ebay. The heat shield is a consumable. It is your ultimate responsibility and liability to protect and use your device in a manner which meets local laws, safety and trail etiquette.
