OK, some more experimenting that may be of interest, certainly to the MRA fanboys like me. I've just done four routes, all planned using MRA HERE mapping but with the OSM overlay (something I've picked up on from elsewhere that allows more accurate waypoint placing). 1. Laptop, fully shaped with ...

jfheath was that meant for me? I don’t actually have a ready route for you as all my recent ones were test routes and now deleted. Tread will most often accept a route but are you comparing it (in Tread) with your track? Does Basecamp send the track at the same time? Without that facility, I’d have ...

@jfheath I think you just may have been lucky that Tread liked your GPX route. I’ve tried it many times now and like I said, hit & miss. It all depends whether Tread agrees that your route is where it would go. Hence me having to add extra shaping points to my route.

@smfollen @jfheath I plan to contact Garmin once I’ve got all my ducks in a row. I want to be able to provide suggestions or solutions along with the problem.

As I've mentioned before, you lose everything if you swipe the Tread app off an iPhone. It will not sync and you lose weather, traffic and connection. I’ve just checked again so bang up to date information. Incidentally, a new XT2 software update has just been installed 2 minutes ago which does not c ...

smfollen I totally agree that when Tread syncs gpx routes, it can change planned routes made up of shaping points. It’s not ideal and very frustrating. If Garmin can find a way round that problem, it would be good for all of us. In the meantime, what I’m suggesting is to make your routes compatible ...

I'm going to go bold here and suggest Basecamp is potentially not the best route planner to use any more for the XT2. 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. I'm prepared for the incoming flak for dissing so many people's ...

smfollen jfheath MRA gpx1.1 sends a route, track, POIs which include Shaping and Via points. MRA gpx1.2 sends the same but strips the Shaping points which are replaced with lots of invisible route points that effectively nails the route to your track. What I should have said is that my imported ...

jfheath , I'll certainly be in touch with Garmin once I've fully got to grips with any workarounds. I can confirm that if you swipe away Tread from an iPhone, it stops communicating with the unit altogether so not the best solution if you want all that it gives. Another topic I'm keen on is ...

Many years Garmin user in its various forms. Now an XT2 slave and is it making me work to love it. I’ll get there. To all those that slag Garmin off, I’ve found them to be a good company with decent technical support. They’ll usually help you out with damaged units too. Having said all that, who on e ...
