If you wish to use the full potential of the XT2 and let Tread sync with Explore, it needs to be gpx1.1 as Tread will not play with gpx1.2 at all. And of course then you can employ wireless transfer. With cable/USB transfer, the XT2 will accept gpx1.2 routes directly from MRA and work as usual. To ...

JS_racer I also use MRA. It took a while but I’m reasonably happy with my MRA-Tread-XT2 combo now. I build a route on MRA with enough shaping points so that Tread doesn’t try to change it. Do not use ‘Motorcycle’ on MRA, use the ‘Car’ setting. Once you’ve exported your built route to Tread, if there ...

Thank you again for your extensive knowledge. I have deleted current gpx files from the XT2 hard drive before after cable transfer. You wouldn't think this to be necessary for cloud data but you never know. Since my last post, I remembered I had the Tread app downloaded to my tablet in addition to ...

Thank you for your very detailed thoughts. It’s certainly a challenge to work with cloud based systems sometimes and Garmin seems to have struggled a little to implement them. However, I’m now fairly happy with the MRA-Tread-XT2 combination and I want to keep it for the ease of planning on the fly an ...

Has anyone else found that a deleted route, either via Tread or the XT2, that has completely gone from both libraries will reappear some time later? These are routes that have not been imported to the XT2 via cable so they are not in the ‘hard-drive’ of the unit. Merely imported to Tread then synced ...

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 ...
