Creating a Track from a Route - Is it Impossible with Tread ?
Answer. I think so.
The only way that I have managed to do this is to use Basecamp:
Make a route in the Tread App using waypoints, shaping points and via points, and (setting your segment route preferences if you are so inclined).
Let the route synch with the XT2.
Access the Route and use the spanner tool to make a copy - as a safeguard : any changes to the route are immediately synched with The Tread app and the original is lost forever.
Connect the XT2 to the computer with the USB cable and transfer Current.gpx to a list in Basecamp.
Select the route and create a track. Transfer the track to the XT2 in the old fashioned way.
Really, Garmin ? Am I missing something ? Query sent.
Reply received. First pointing me to a page which showed me how to create a route
A second reply pointing me to how to import a track (not how to make one)
Third reply informing me that it is not possible to create a track from a route in the Tread App.
