Useless for ACTUAL adventure and navigation
We took a garmin tread and inreach into remote Alaska.
This app and hardware are completely useless. Nothing works unless you are connected to a cell or internet connection. Message between inreach devises on ANT+, nope. Mark a waypoint have it available to the other users, nope. Mark a way point on the inreach navigation on the tread in the sxs, nope. Maintain participation in a multi day ride, nope. Rejoin a ride (without cell signal), nope. Access basic help documents on setup or configurations, nope. Navigate to a waypoint from your phone connected to the gps via Bluetooth, nope. Sync waypoints, nope. Real time compass(from the gps to the app), nope. (Good thing we brought an actual compass)
So an gps app that requires a gps provides no actual navigation function without cell signal….ummm so what is the point this hardware and app? If I have cell coverage I’ll just text the person. Share pin on Apple Maps or Google maps.
Sounds like garmin needs to make there engineers through navigation training that stretches beyond the garden walkway at HQ in Olathe.Show lessKeepItRealAlaska
Awful
Multiple, significant, issues.
Routes that are created in the app and then transferred to a Zumo XT2 are (if short) usually okay. Anything with any shaping or via points or any moderate length to them, once synced to the device, then get altered by the Tread app, which is then reflected on the device.
Maps are not offline (why?!)
Any routes that are imported, either from BaseCamp or MyRouteApp, through the app will become corrupted and will route in totally the wrong way, even with waypoints and shaping points.
The only way (seemingly) to get a route on the device without Tread mucking it up is to directly add it to the device or SD card, and ensure that Tread does NOT sync. If Tread syncs, your efforts are wasted. The files need deleting, and starting again.
Absolutely unbelievable.
Totally unacceptable for a company providing navigation solutions.
Reported to Garmin - nothing happening as yet.
Issue is far reaching (quick Google will show that).
Garmin - sort this out. I can see why customers are leaving in droves for your competition.Show lessS_Ellis
