Until Tread is sorted out, then the Tread app on phone is not going to be allowed to store data in the Explore/Tread cloud. From all of my testing and evidence that I have sent to Garmin - it just changes the route. I use GPX files. Mainly Basecamp. But Basecamp isn't the issue because it does it if a gpcx file is created using the Tread app and then loaded onto a friends XT2.

So I continue to use Basecamp.
I continue to put GPX files onto the SD card (because they get altered if they are in internal storage - last time I tested).
The XT2 gets and keeps the original route from the BC gpx.
The route is not altered - unless maybe if the XT2 recalculates it - but shaping points and via points are not moved drastically.
I take a copy of the route using the XT2 copy function - and that route behaves perfectly when navigating no matter what I do.
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 !
