Bringing this thread back around to the topic of Tread on an M-series Mac, I'm the original poster. Sync issues aside, the Tread app is inexcusably buggy on MacOS, iOS, and iPadOS. As I said in my first post I can do "one" thing successfully and then I need to quit and restart the Tread app before ...

The only "true" alternative here would be BMW's ConnectedRide, which is based on TomTom... but it too is very limited in what it can do.

There are many other alternatives in my opinion, but these are Android-based.
Then you need something like a rugged outdoor tablet or a DMD device or ...

What is the current recommendation for consistency? Use Basecamp or MRA or something else and import gpx files directly into the XT2 and not use Tread to sync?


That's right, from experience I can confirm that you should avoid using the Tread app for route synchronization with shapings ...

I have just been doing some testing with the behaviour of routes and route points in the XT2 with and without Tread being installed.

The changes seem to be dependent on a number of issues.
Whether route points are shaping or Via Points
Whether or not route points are created as Waypoints first ...

Thanks smfollen. I've seen this happen as recently as yesterday with a route containing all stops (vias), but today after doing a factory reset and creating -
1 route in Tread with as many shaping points it allows before complaining, up to 10 between stops (vias)
1 route in Tread with all stops ...

Has anyone confirmed the "moving via/shaping points" issue is independent of having traffic enabled on the GPS and the related manual/automatic optimize route setting on the same GPS settings screen?

Oh yes, I'm familiar with the problems with Tread. I was experimenting with staying within the Tread/Garmin environment and up until last night it worked wonderfully and I had not experienced any issues. And this is with many edits and syncs to/from the XT2 via Tread and my phone and computer for ...

Hello,

I haven't found any similar posts so I wanted to begin a discussion about using Tread on a Mac. I've had general success using the Tread app on my Mac to create, curate, and sync routes with newly created Tread routes as well as imported routes from gpx files. This is after doing a factory ...

I’m just wanting a way to easily completely remove the XT2 and its mount. Swapping to another biker would be a bonus, but that’s not why I’m asking. I occasionally like to ride with my phone on the handlebars or to just ride without the GPS from time to time.

Hello,

Is anyone making a quick disconnect power mount for the XT2? Or has anyone come up with a creative idea to be able to remove the entire mount easily with some kind of waterproof power connector or maybe an inline power connection using SAE connectors or maybe Powerlet? Thanks.
