Product Details
The Garmin Group Ride Tracker 5.5-inch is a vehicle-powered accessory that adds radio-based group tracking to compatible Garmin Tread® powersport navigators and the zūmo® XT. It is designed for riders who want to follow the group, exchange predefined messages and track routes where a mobile phone signal may be unavailable. This accessory is not a standalone sat nav.
Group ride functions
- Shares each rider's location on the map of a compatible Garmin navigator.
- Supports predefined messaging between compatible Group Ride users.
- Provides route tracking for the group ride.
- Connects up to 20 riders in one Group Ride.
- Uses a radio connection, so the core Group Ride functions do not depend on mobile coverage.
Compatibility and installation
This version is intended for Garmin's compatible 5.5-inch edge-to-edge Tread or zūmo device family, including the zūmo XT application identified by Garmin. It must be connected to vehicle power for group tracking.
Garmin also produces Group Ride accessories for other navigator sizes and newer device arrangements. Match the accessory to the exact navigator and installation before ordering. For a radio group ride, every participating vehicle needs a compatible Garmin Group Ride setup and must remain within radio range. Terrain, obstructions and line of sight can affect connection performance.

Questions and answers
Does the Garmin Group Ride Tracker include a sat nav?
No. This is the Group Ride Tracker accessory. A compatible Garmin Tread or zūmo navigator is required.
Does it need mobile phone coverage?
No mobile signal is required for the radio-based Group Ride connection. All riders still need compatible Group Ride equipment and must remain within radio range.
Will it fit every Garmin Tread or zūmo device?
No. Garmin uses different Group Ride hardware and connection arrangements across its navigator range. This listing is for part number 010-12998-01 and the 5.5-inch device family, so compatibility should be checked against the exact Garmin navigator before installation.
