Completely Unusable and Frustratingly Slow – A Total Disappointment
I am running the Garmin Tread app on a top-of-the-line MacBook Pro with the M4 Max chip, and I have honestly never encountered a slower, more poorly optimized application in my life.
Given the hardware power of the M4 Max, there is zero excuse for performance this abysmal. The app is agonizingly sluggish, constantly freezes, and makes route planning an absolute nightmare.
To make matters worse, basic mapping functionality is broken. When selecting the "Driving" layer and zooming in, street names and Points of Interest (POIs) completely disappear, rendering the map useless for any detailed navigation. Trying to plan a long-distance or multi-stop route is virtually impossible—the app simply can't handle it without lagging or freezing up.
It is completely mind-boggling how an ecosystem designed for long-distance navigation can deliver software this unrefined. The Garmin Tread app in its current state is frustrating, unreliable, and totally unfit for purpose. Avoid it until Garmin completely rebuilds it.

Very good not great
This app works well to map out planned routes and is fairly user intuitive it does, however, sometimes not update the Garmin and did cause some challenges during some trip trips, but it is much better than using just Google maps or the dreaded BMW navigation app on my motorcycle.
Bisher super
Benutze es nun seit einer Woche und ich habe mich schon umgewöhnt. Es ist anders als base Camp, aber auf dem iPad sehr gut zu nutzen. Durchgeführte Tracks muss man leider manuell abspeichern, aber auch das klappt inzwischen. Was besser ist als vorher, ist die Speicherung der Touren und Wegpunkte, gilt auch für die Sammlungen. Inzwischen schon mehr Touren und Wegpunkte als vorher zusammengetragen, macht mehr Spaß und ist übersichtlicher. Auch die Bearbeitung zwischendurch im Urlaub auf dem iPad macht Spaß und die Übertragung auf alle Geräte ist dann super. Tread für MAC wäre noch das i-Tüpfelchen.

Greatest app for anyone to use
Perfect pair for my XT
Makes the track download super easy
Tread app Ktm 1290
Great app keeps regular updates - auto connects to phone - loads of features - great A+ 💪
Great up to date data
Accurate data thx
Great app
It’s a great app. I wish the tread 2 can export “activities” not just routes so you don’t see millions of little flags along the route when reviewing track logs on the explore website.
Tread overland xl
Excellent
Battery killer
Ate 25% of my battery today whilst riding with my XT2
Dozens of tracks lost
Horrible. Many of my tracks disappeared from the map/app, and since it syncs with the GPS it also deleted them from the Zumo. Weeks of motorcycle trips completely gone.
This is due to bugs in the app as now I see several “Unknown Error” entries in the Collections when I do a Select and Edit”.

Why is search so bad still?
Why does search seem so terrible in the tread app? I’m shocked at how bad this app is. I thought about buying a new Garmin zumo XT 3 but if I am forced to use this terrible app to find locations I will skip it, especially at those prices, I expect way better software.
Byroads
Helps me find off road tracks/byroad easy
Brilliant
Couldn’t be easier uploading gpx files, loads of features beyond that too, very pleased and it syncs with my zumo xt2 really easily
Einfaches und zeitgemäßes Handling
Die App lässt sich einfach und intuitiv bedienen. Sowohl auf dem iPhone wie auf em iPad. Planen von Routen und eine schnelle Übersicht ist jeder Zeit möglich. Ich kann sowohl auf dem Mobilegerät wie auch auf dem Garmin Tread SXS arbeiten, was es sehr einfach macht.
Gut ist auch, dass man Updates zum Navi mitbekommt, wenn das Navi eine Zeitlang nicht in Benutzung ist.

This is the best app linked to a satnav I’ve had and I’ve had a few
Quickly Create An Alternate Route In The App
I recently added the Garmin Tread 2 Overland Edition All-Terrain GPS Navigator to my collection of trail-riding tools for our 2026 Polaris Xpedition XP 5 NorthStar, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Having owned and used Garmin GPS units for more years than I can count, I had high expectations, and the Tread 2 has exceeded them.
While there are many features I appreciate, the standout for me is the ability to create and modify routes on the fly using the Tread App. During a recent ride, we encountered multiple trail and road closures caused by flooding. Instead of stopping our adventure, I was able to quickly create an alternate route in the app and seamlessly transfer it to the Tread 2 navigator.
The process was simple, fast, and incredibly reliable, allowing us to stay focused on the ride rather than worrying about navigation. If you enjoy off-road adventures, overlanding, or exploring remote trails, the Garmin Tread 2 Overland Edition is an outstanding investment. Highly recommended!

Arghhh
Every time the app is opened I’m asked to finish setup. Only so many times I can finish setting up the device!!!
Great so far
The unit works well syncing to other devices. Well done.
