Tread Customer Insights

1. I just switch from one to the other to see we're my buddies are but its just slow on the screen not fluid seems clumsy and wish the screen was more of a mirror image to the tabletCANT RECOMMEND TREAD OR ZUMO XT2 YET.

2. I need to find location inside Tread which is painfull.Trying to to load GPX files onto Garmin Tread GPS so I don't have to use my phone.

3. Unable to plan a route to Stranraer, as the roads are not coming up on the app, when you zoom in for more detailed locations.I love this app, especially the ability to connect to my zumo XT2 gps with group riding sharing.

4. But the garmin tread connected to my tablet with the tread app is not as good of an experience.

5. Unless I just haven't dug deep enough into Tread it appears that ability to filter campgrounds is gone.

6. Would love to have Garmin make the motorcycle mount for the in Reach Mini and a front & rear dash camera for the motorcycle.

7. If I search for a location and find it, I can't add it...so I click cancel and the map loses the location I found and goes back to a zoomed out view of the start to ending points.

8. I want to share location from gmap to Tread and it's not work as suppose.

9. That is why I bought and installed the Garmin Tread.

10. Use the website to create your account as a workaround.Having used Ultimate Campgrounds in the past I expected it to be the same.

11. OnX Off road works fine so it is a Garmin thing.Explore and this are similar, then I have earthmate for my InReach.
