Tread® for Android

As someone that isn’t all that experienced with GPS software, I can tell you Tread is 1000 times better than Basecamp! Obviously…Lol Seriously though, Garmin has done a great job making Tread easy to use when creating routes and then getting that data to your device. If you’ve used something like Gaia, it’s pretty much a seamless transition to Tread, in my opinion anyway.

I get traffic alerts, and text messages from my wife seamlessly. Very happy with this iteration of the software.

The app is super easy to use with the Zumo XT2. I like the easy windy road feature to create a route. I can use my Android to create the routes and then easily syncs up with the Zumo XT2.

Fantastic!!

We took a garmin tread and inreach into remote Alaska. This app and hardware are completely useless. Nothing works unless you are connected to a cell or internet connection. Message between inreach devises on ANT+, nope. Mark a waypoint have it available to the other users, nope. Mark a way point on the inreach navigation on the tread in the sxs, nope. Maintain participation in a multi day ride, nope. Rejoin a ride (without cell signal), nope. Access basic help documents on setup or configurations, nope. Navigate to a waypoint from your phone connected to the gps via Bluetooth, nope. Sync waypoints, nope. Real time compass(from the gps to the app), nope. (Good thing we brought an actual compass) So an gps app that requires a gps provides no actual navigation function without cell signal….ummm so what is the point this hardware and app? If I have cell coverage I’ll just text the person. Share pin on Google Maps or Google maps. Sounds like garmin needs to make there engineers through navigation training that stretches beyond the garden walkway at HQ in Olathe.
