Zumo XT2 and Garmin Tread app

[Andy Beviere]

Hi All,

I have simply given up and removed Tread from all my devices and only transfer my routes from MRA with a wired connection… I know we all go round in circles with this subject but has anyone managed to successfully get a route from MRA to Tread to their XT2 OTA (Bluetooth)

Personally I cannot get any of the file formats to go on without some form of error in the route, this always starts with the Tread app…

Thanks,

Andy.

@Andy-Beviere. Same with me. I gave up with Tread some months ago and have also sold my XT2 now; I was so fed up with the Garmin experience.

@Carl-Lee said in Zumo XT2 and Garmin Tread app:

Been playing a little more with this thing. I'm now happy that my system works fine to wirelessly import MRA routes and tracks in GPX 1.1 (auto recalculate in auto).

How are you wirelessly importing your GPX files into the XT2?

[Carl Lee]

@Ron-Z import the GPX file into Tread app and it’s there. The trick is to make sure there are enough shaping points so that Tread (and the Zumo) don’t think better and reroute it.

@Carl-Lee You are correct, that is exactly how it should be if you read the descriptions of Garmin, but unfortunately in reality it is a bit different:
My experience was, that it works from time to time, but not always. Specially my experience that Tread messes up not only the routes etc. on the XT2, but also the Garmin explore data in such a away, that I haven't been able to "repair" differences between Tread APP, my XT2 and the Garmin Explore webpage. It was that bad that I lost all the data I already have migrated from various sources into the Garmin Tread and Explore universe.

Beside that I must admit, that it have worked for a very short period of time and only as long as used it more or less seldom. As soon it is was used heavily for planning and organising things, it messes it totally up.
