Tread data sequence ?

Post by ZumoGSer »

Data on Tread , then appears on both XT2 and online at Garmin Explore
Does anyone know the sequence re XT2 next or Explore next ?
Is XT2 getting its data from Tread or Explore ?

My understanding was that Tread and Explore both sent their data to the Explore database. I can't imagine that would be done on a rota. Computers usually talk using a semaphore basis "Oi you, I need some attention", rather than a polling basis ("Do you need owt ?", "Do You ?", "How about You".....)

Of course, my understanding may be wrong.....
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
