I’ve been using my XT2 and Tread app (frustratingly) for over 16 months now. Both are quite annoying, unreliable and don’t function properly.
The concept is great and they should/could be excellent best in class devices. The problem is they feel unfinished and let down by their software and ...

Re: No directions sound on tracks
That seems a bit stupid to me. So if lost somewhere and wanting to backtrack, it must be done without turn by turn directions whilst in an unknown area with unknown roads but also need to keep watching the screen to follow a thin line. What goes through the designers heads! I can't see why they ...

Re: is there a Tread app user guide?
Ah, national parks, yes, that makes sense as it's the same for lake district and others areas. There should be a user guide to explain these things.
I've not got any layers enabled.

No directions sound on tracks
When following a track on XT2 there are no audible directions. It's quite dangerous looking down trying to follow a thin line without any directions whilst keeping an eye on the road.
Anyone know how to:-
1. get the sound on for tracks
2. make the coloured track line thicker.

is there a Tread app user guide?
Anyone know if there is a user guide for the Tread app showing what all the different highlighting means on the map?
In the layers options I have the map type set to "Driving" with no other details/layers showing. I'm trying to find out what is signified by the diagonal lines shading of whole areas ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button
Did you manage to find a speed camera to test it yet?
If you did, was it shown on the map and did it give audio alert?

Re: Report Safety Camera button
My XT2 always used to show cameras on the map and give audio alerts for cameras in my direction of travel. But now there’s nothing at all.
I think these devices are just too buggy to rely on. This is not good for such a device. Mine even shows fuel stations that don’t exist or they are just ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button
Up Ahead Places is already turned on, it makes no difference.
I was wondering if reinstalling the Tread app might help, thinking about it, the info is stored on the XT2 device so Tread shouldn’t play any part in it.
Garmin must be aware of the various issues/foibles with their devices but appear ...

Re: Report Safety Camera button
It's all very strange..
With everything setup how you said, it's still not showing speed cameras on the map or making any sounds or showing any warnings when approaching them or anything! I even went through an area with average speed cameras every half mile or so, again nothing!

Re: Report Safety Camera button
You mentioned the latest Cyclops updates have to be downloaded using Garmin Express.
I already had cyclops installed and working perfectly with both sound and visual notifications. I wasn’t aware Cyclops only updated via garmin express, not over wifi, so I may not have the latest database, but most ...
