Useless for ACTUAL adventure and navigation

2025-01-06

We took a garmin this app and inreach into remote Alaska.

Tread 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 this app 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 Tread ), 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 Apple 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.

Does not transfer to XT2 correctly

2025-01-06

Not only myself but a number of others on Facebook have noticed that routes are corrupted when uploaded to the XT2. They come out as empty and can not be seen on the map. Big problem as this is the only easy way to load gpx files to the device.

The most un useful app there is for guidance

2025-01-06

I have used many Garmin products, including the Aviation garmins. This is the most unintuitive app there is and even worse, It goes along with the super expensive Garmin this app GPS. My free Apple app on my phone is much more accurate than either of these. They have a chance to make these apps really useful but they didn’t.

Limits on map details

2025-01-06

Some map details, such as popular paths, are not completely shown. There is a square region of my city that has the popular paths but outside this region the purple lines stop

This also makes it not possible to fully plan your route a long distance route.

No save button or route options

2025-01-06

I’m not sure if this is a bug or not, but I looked at some older videos of the application being used and there’s a save button when you try to create a route. There is no way to save any route that I create on the phone app (there is also no way to load a route as far as I know). older video walk-throughs of Tread show a save button as well as a fast and adventure button on the bottom when you’re creating a route. Those don’t exist anymore and haven’t for the last few versions I guess. that fact, render Tread almost completely useless.

Extremely disappointing

2025-01-06

You release an update that includes great rides… the ONE in north Georgia has 40 miles each way of of boring slab, you miss almost all the scenic roads, you don’t have the dragon?

Garmin … always so close, but so far… I wish they had competition or someone made a phone that worked with gloves so the could become irrelevant.

Lacks useful features

2025-01-06

It isn’t that useful unless you’ve got certain Garmin devices. For example it’s hard to get a list of nearby campsites and filter them. Hope they improve it.

Garmin tread

2025-01-06

Wish the gps had same coverage as app satellite wise and didnt have to download every 5 miles

Tread XL and app review

2025-01-06

Loving the this app XL and app so far.
Hands down the biggest miss is not being able to create tracks on Tread that can be sinked back to the unit.
Creating routes is a problem as well. You can’t create a route unless using a road system. For an Offroad gps that is kind of ridiculous!
I’m assuming it’s because I’m in Alaska. But only major rivers and lakes are named. I use other apps and small rivers, streams and lakes are identified. Annoying

Overall good product and I do recommend it to buddies.

Treads

2025-01-06

Takes a while to figure out how to use it properly, but once you do it is easy to work with.

Tread

2025-01-06

The Garmin XT2 and this app app are just about perfect for moto travel. I have tried many alternatives. No laptop required (sorry, but BaseCamp is past it’s prime). this app makes GPX management simple.

Washington BDR & Beyond

2025-01-06

Love the Garmin this app app! easy to plan your routes and transfer to the motorcycle mounted Garmin. I use the Zumo XT 2. Customizing routes to explore the Pacific Northwest has never been easier and frustration free.

Works smoothly

2025-01-06

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

Best yet

2025-01-06

I frequently plan multi-day group rides (road touring) for me and my friends. We’ve used Google Maps, Harley GPS and Indian GPS in the past. This is by far the best app I’ve used. We can plan the days ride while sitting in our hotel or a bar at night on my iPad. It will automatically sync to the cloud, then to my phone and from my phone to my Zumo XT2. Once you get used to adding waypoints, stops and shaping points it’s a breeze to use. If you’re planning a long ride in a place like the Ozarks it helps to break the route up into several segments with “stops”. The stops can later be changed to shaping points. Loving it!

Way better than base camp

2025-01-06

I’ve replaced all my nav devices with zumo xt’s because of the route planning capabilities of this app and the automatic sync. Huge improvement

Great options easy to use

2025-01-06

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

Very smooth

2025-01-06

I really enjoy Tread. It’s just what you’d expect from Garmin. Basic user interface, but powerful features when paired with their device.

So Far..So Good

2025-01-06

But all these Apps want you to rate them before you have any real experience, with them…so be careful of the 5 star I gave, as while I’ve done “home testing”, I’ve not done the real world trail testing, yet. Garmin was “hot to trot” for a review so I gave one, but I’m not going to lie for them.

Finally

2025-01-06

As someone that isn’t all that experienced with GPS software, I can tell you this app is 1000 times better than Basecamp! Obviously…Lol
Seriously though, Garmin has done a great job making this app 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 this app, in my opinion anyway.

Initial Tread Review

2025-01-06

There’s been a bit of a learning curve, transferring routes from MRA to the this app app. Once you understand how it works, it makes Route planning extremely easy.
