Creating Japan route in Tread app?
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2024 8:50 am
Hello! Bob in Japan here. Long-time Garmin user who is just becoming acquainted with the Zumo XT2. Glad to find this forum.
I know there are issues with the Tread app, but I'd be grateful if any of you who haven't deleted it yet could check something for me quickly: Are you able to create a route between two points in Japan?
In the app, I am able to create routes in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, etc... but I cannot create them in Japan (where I happen to live). Garmin sells the Zumo XT2 officially in Japan, and promotes use of the Tread app. It seems that it just doesn't work at all, which is a bit shocking, even for Garmin!
Every time I try to create a route, the app complains "Shaping point must be placed close to a road or trail", despite using no shaping points and puting the start and stop points directly on main roads. It seems not to recognize the Japan road data as routable.
Thank you for any help!
