I have found that route planning and navigation work well when Tread is removed from my phone entirely. I plan on my computer using Basecamp and import to the XT2 via gpx file on an sd card. It is the Tread / Explore sync that makes a mess of my routes, so I just avoid Tread entirely. m326 wrote ...

Oop North John They do try to use Basecamp as an excuse whenever possible. You just have to tell them that the issues occur even when Basecamp is not involved. Both jfheath and I have explained the issue to Garmin. They understand it but it gets low priority unless more customers complain about it ...

I'm now convince that Tread and the XT2 are incompatible

PLEASE tell Product.Support@garmin.com. They won't fix it unless they hear from many customers.

Thank you Regain . I greatly appreciate your posts and efforts on this but Garmin already knows the solution. They need to fix their software so that it honors, rather than changes, user input.

Does anyone from Garmin read this I wonder?

No, they do not. I have pointed Garmin support here. In reply, they told me that they do not follow any user forums.

This is why I keep posting PLEASE tell Product.Support@garmin.com.

It has lots of things going for it but making a route that is compatible with Tread doesn't seem to be one of them. That may well be true but I think it is important ...

Regain I thought using the MRA 'expand' option to add more shaping points would work but Tread doesn't like that I did send some MRA gpx1.2 routes via cable for a weekend motorcycle event and Tread didn’t seem to mess with those but that may be because I had to use several Via points Thoughts on t ...

As Jon has said, PLEASE report this problem to Garmin at Product.Support@garmin.com. I have had a dialog with Garmin support going for a month so far. The issue is getting low priority because other users are not reporting it. Here are just a few bits of what support is saying: "...I have sent your ...

proofresistant I think it is important in these discussions to separate, as you have done here, what the XT2 is doing and what Tread is doing. Conclusion Tread App changes sharpening points Tread App moves sharpening points Yes I have had the same experience. See https://www.zumouserforums.co.uk ...

From my [limited] experience it appears that: 1. perfectly valid routes from imported gpx files can change dramatically when Tread syncs with the Explore database. No edit of the route is involved. It seems that the original route's shaping points are ignored when the sync and related route ...
