What is your opinion of Route Planning with the Tread app?

The tread app is good or great route planning tool. It is my primary tool for route planning.

The tread app is a fair route planning tool. I use it sometimes, but not exclusively.

I'm wondering about zumo XT2 users experience with the current Tread app for route planning. Please share your opinion.

I use it sometimes, but my main route planning tool is MyRouteApp - and I mainly plan routes on the bigger screen of my laptop.

But - I do have tread running on both my phone and my iPad and it is fairly functional, but not amazing.

I'd be more than happy to use the Tread App, if Garmin would just develop a large screen PC route planning program that could then enable planed routes to be exported to the tread app and then to the XT2. (better still ... direct to the XT2!)

Being "forced" by Garmin software engineers to plan a route on a tiny phone screen, is bloody-absolutely-ridiculous!

I've of late, been using BaseCamp to plan my routes, unfortunately it's also "less than perfect" in interacting with the XT2.
