1. 5/5Quickly 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!

2. 5/5Best yet

   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!

3. 5/5Flawless Navigation and Route Planning

   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!

4. 2/5Extremely slow routing.

   When the app is working well I have built some great routes on it. But lately each section I try and add to my route, will just calculate for 10+ minutes. I’ve deleted a bunch of routes that I didn’t want to delete hoping it would free up memory and allow the app to work better/faster, that don’t work. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, that doesn’t work. It’s frustrating and disappointing that this has become my slowest mapping/routing app there is. I read that if your route is too long it’s better to break it up into smaller sections, trying to route from my home to a first stop it just sits there “calculating” forever. Somethings wrong.

5. 5/5Amazing Technology

   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
