is there a Tread app user guide?

Post by VeeBee »

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 and also why some roads are shown in different colours.

I think roads shown in red are tracks but Tread doesn't let me do anything with tracks. In the menu, when I select "Favourites > Tracks > [track name]" the track name background changes from white to grey but it doesn't do anything. Tread locks-up and doesn't allow anything else to be pressed. Nothing responds, the only way out is to quit/restart the Tread app. It's difficult at the best of times trying to work with maps on a phone screen.

I think the green diagonal lines signify a national park. Can't tell for certain as Tread on my phone has decided to only show the base map :cry:

Edit, re-started the phone and mapping now back, and yes pretty certain it's the Yorkshire Dales NP that's showing in your example. And, what layers have you got enabled in Tread?

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.

I don't know what the red line is then, as I can't reproduce it.
