Re: zumo xt2 does not auto connect to galaxy s25

I have Tread on 2 devices: a Samsung Active5 tablet and a OnePlus 13 phone. If both devices have their Bluetooth on the XT2 seems to automatically connect to the first device shown in the Phone list on the XT2. That is usually the Active5 tablet. With the Active5 Bluetooth off I always have to ...

Re: Tread App

Although the Google Play store app description says the Tread App requires Android 9 or above it will not work on my Boox Go 10.3 e-ink tablet running Android 12. The Play store will not allow it to be installed.

I am able to install many other Play Store apps on the Boox including the Kindle App ...

Re: Tread app not syncing to XT2


... Always, synchronisation was not instantaneous. Sometimes some data would come through, but the rest took a while longer. But always, collections, tracks routes and waypoints were synchronised flawlessly...


That ^ seems to be the secret, at least for me. It has on occasion taken quite some ...

Re: Removing other people’s tracks from my route

From the Map view tap on the stack icon on the right side 1/3 of the way up the screen (just below the arrowhead) then Tap the Popular Paths (Moto) legend so the text turns from blue to black. That should do it.

Re: Different items in Tread/Explore app vs explore website

Actually, I have had the same problem. I use an XT, an XT2, two different phones, and a Samsung Active5 tablet. I added the Active5 to the mix for my last long trip because I wanted a larger screen both for planning using the Tread App n the trip and for running a backup GPS program next to the XT2 ...

Re: Collection not deleted on xt2 when deleted by Tread ?

I think I sort of ran into the same type of situation with failures to delete Collections and then failures to properly sync tracks within collections. To "cure" all that I did a system reset on the XT2 deleting all my data but not the maps and it seems to be working OK now.

One thing I noticed ...

Re: Garmin Express / BaseCamp Maps / XT2

Yep, just had the same big red failure box problem on both my XT & XT2. Still have my Nav V so I just used that and it worked. I like your solution much better!

Re: what3words & Garmin Drive App

FWIW, I just received a notification from W3W on my Android Phone showing how to display lat & long in any W3W address display as its shown when you search. [Settings: display settings: Decimal degrees]

If one then copies that to the clipboard, moves to the Tread App (in my case), pastes the ...

Re: SD Card


That sdcard.org website does not indicate that the formatter will FAT32 format a card larger than 32GB, at least not that I could find, nor does the manual indicate that the formatter allows you to select a format. It appears that the formatter makes the decision based on the detected capacity of ...

Re: ZUMO XT2 CONCLUSIONS

@Javelin16 Here's a list from Garmin's website of the devices compatible with the Tread App: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/773341#devices Check the previous page at that link, too.

I think Garmin introduced the Zumo XT2 in mid April 2023 (according to the internet)

In January of 2022 they ...
