Thanks Turbo19 (if that is your real name) :) This is useful. Just updated my two units (map and firmware). If you have read my other posts, you'll see that I am not a fan of the Tread App. IMDO until they put something meaningful in their app update section, I'm inclined to leave it UNINSTALLED. Th...

Yes but you're not going to like the answer... You need to use the Garmin Tread App. However, no one should be using the Garmin Tread App. Complete sh!t. If you are inclined to take a risk, you would export the route from your Tread App, share the .gpx with your friend via email, Bluetooth, text, wh...

If you are not using the Tread app, I am curious what your experience has been on creating and saving routes on the XT2? I recently had the frustrating experience of creating a route and saving a route on the XT2. To open the route, I selected it from the Explore catalog app listing routes on the X...

It aligned to my wife's unit which was prepared with the same BaseCamp maps using the same method. I high...

My next trip (which starts Friday) is roughly 2700km.

I'll share what I learn when I get back!

Hi technoguppy - just wanted to ask if deleting the tread app has solved the problem and allowed your XT2 to follow the route you imported? Also how are you importing - are you transferring gpx files from Basecamp directly to your SD card in the XT or directly to the XT? We have a 2500+ mile trip p...

IMDO Their team is focused on "wearables" or other priority products. It's the best explanation I can think of.

Simply put, and these are my experiences, yours may be different, the ZUMO XT2 is a fine unit. I thoroughly believe the issue is the Tread App. When I use BaseCamp and import to my XT2 via USB, load the maps, and go, all seems to work. Shaping points are shaping points, waypoints are waypoints, no m...

Give my other post a read if you'd like to hear more...

Wow! You have hit on many of the frustrations of Zumo XT owners. The Tread app adds a level of complexity that seems absurd. Some tips when using preplanned routes: 1. In a route, never have the start and end points the same. You saw why. Make the start point some distance away from your physical s...
