Tread®

The thing I like best about this app is how you can build a route exactly how you want it from the comfort of your home. Specific roads/trails, however many way points or stops, adventure settings- curvy and paved or straight and boring- whatever you want. Then name the route, save it, and the next time your GPS synchronizes it’ll be on your device screen. You can build several days worth of routes for a multi day trip and then name each. Monday, Tuesday, etc. Works great with Zumo XT2

I’ve been using the Tread app for navigation and route planning with my Tread XL Garmin, and I couldn’t be happier. The app works flawlessly—no crashes, no glitches, just smooth and reliable performance every time. Creating and customizing routes is intuitive and easy, and the app communicates seamlessly with my Tread XL device. Whether I’m planning an off-road adventure or just exploring new trails, this app has been a game-changer. Highly recommended for anyone serious about off-road navigation!

I frequently plan multi-day group rides (road touring) for me and my friends. We’ve used Google Maps, Harley GPS and Indian GPS in the past. This is by far the best app I’ve used. We can plan the days ride while sitting in our hotel or a bar at night on my iPad. It will automatically sync to the cloud, then to my phone and from my phone to my Zumo XT2. Once you get used to adding waypoints, stops and shaping points it’s a breeze to use. If you’re planning a long ride in a place like the Ozarks it helps to break the route up into several segments with “stops”. The stops can later be changed to shaping points. Loving it!
