Great for 4 Wheelers
on June 15, 2022
Posted by: Skyliner
I was talking with someone from Garmin and told them I needed a waterproof, off road GPS with a big screen for my motorcycle. They talked me into getting a Tread. It turns out it is way more GPS than I could use on a motorcycle and has many features that only work on a SXS, Quad or small 4 wheeler (or big 4 wheeler). I ended up getting a Zumo XT which is the same as the Tread without the 4x4 features. If you have a 4 wheeler the Tread would be a great GPS, especially if you travel in packs.

Amazing group ride feature

Ever since Polaris came out with a shared ride on their sleds I wanted a similar feature for my Jeep and motorcycle. This gave me exactly what I needed and more. Love hooking up a Bluetooth and still being able to chat to someone with tread headset

I dont care for the trun by trun for the sxs. Its take you spot that you are not Allowed on. For the most part it's pretty good.

Love the GPS, Love the features... Why it doesn't support backup cameras is beyond me and something that makes me give it 3 starts

Overall great device
on June 23, 2022

I am using on my motorcycle and really like the features especially the built in MVUM as I ride mostly off pavement and over a wide area. Great bright screen that can be read easily in any light. My biggest complaint is the discontinuation of the ANT sensor for Tempe. Only temp is from the phone and then the closest station and of course only when in cell coverage. Where I live I can ride up a mountain and the temp difference can be 20 degrees also a good bit of my riding is in areas without cell coverage. Ambient temp is much safer once the temperatures hover around 32 degrees

transamerica trail
on June 27, 2022
Posted by: Utah tat rider
I bought this so I would ride the transamerica trail. I was able to create routes but the tread would add a vehicle on its own and change my route to include highways, which is what we are trying to avoid, and narrow hiking trails which the sxs was to wide to fit on.. It would change my route and try to send me through private property and on horse and hiking trails. At times I would use my phone's google maps which worked just as good as the tread. I have to admit that the tread was a lifesaver in the back country. I would have to look at the map and then make sure it was routing me on the correct path. I couldn't just trust that it would route me in a way I didn't have to backtrack.

Disappointed
on August 9, 2022

After much deliberation and research, I finally bought the Tread. Wanted to use it on Hatfield McCoy trails in WVa which was listed as one of the 5 best places to go on the website for the Tread. After mounting it on my side-by-side and traveling 5 hours to WVa., I was disappointed to find out that the trails are not downloaded on the Tread. I have tried to figure out how to download then but I can't figure it out. So, I have a very expensive GPS for my car.

Lack the trails in nw Wisconsin
on August 12, 2022
Posted by: Ba69
I bought this for snowmobiling in NW Wisconsin and found that there are almost ZERO trails loaded. The trails have been around for 30 years and they sell the treats as an option on the sleds up here yet no trails are loaded on it.
