Overview

The Garmin 010-12953-02 is a zippered carrying case sized for Garmin Tread Base Edition (5.5-inch) and Tread 2 (6-inch) navigators, so you can stow the unit safely when it is off the mount.

The outer shell is thermo-molded to take the bumps that happen in a gear bag or locker, and the padded interior helps keep the screen and housing from getting scuffed. Inside straps limit how far the case opens, which helps reduce the chance of the navigator sliding out during handling.

On a boat, this is a practical way to keep your navigator separated from tools, spare parts, and other hard items that can rub and scratch electronics. For best results, let the device dry before zipping it into the case after a wet ride or a salty day on deck.

Key features

• Fits Garmin Tread Base Edition with 5.5-inch screen and Garmin Tread 2 with 6-inch screen
• Not sized for larger 8-inch or 10-inch Tread models
• Thermo-molded exterior shell helps absorb knocks during storage and transport
• Zipper closure with a padded interior to reduce marks and scratches on the device
• Internal straps help keep the case from opening flat while you are loading or unloading

Compatibility and fit

This case is made around the physical size of the 5.5-inch and 6-inch Tread units. If your navigator is one of the larger-screen Tread models, it will not seat properly and the zipper will not close cleanly.

When in doubt, compare your device screen size and model name before ordering. The right fit matters most at the corners and along the zipper line, where oversized units tend to bind.

Use on board

This case makes sense for boaters who take their navigator on and off the vessel, or who store it between trips in a nav desk, cabin drawer, or cockpit locker. It also helps when you move the unit between the boat and a tow vehicle, tender, or dock cart.

Keep the case in a dry spot and avoid sealing in moisture for long periods. A quick wipe-down of the device before storage goes a long way in humid, salt-heavy environments.
