Should mention that you need 2 apps, for some silly reason, to access this feature in this app. Or do I need the zumo too? Because I was trying to look to decide if I was going to buy the Zumo
@@Yowzoe what I don't get is why people keep saying this is great!..... We bought a product that's complicated to operate and on top, they load a 10 or 15 year map so they can sell you the updates!
So frustrating. Why so many apps to use with my Xumo XT2 and motorcycle. I want to plot a fun ride in Deadwood area and I end up with use, Explore app, use Tread app, use Drive app. Then I don't even see the option for Great Rides even with my phone and XT2 connected.
There is no road data for Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras. I’ve tried every which way to get support from Garmin to no avail. Why would these countries be virtually blank in the app? This weirdness renders using Tread with my XT2 useless.
It already is, that's what he showed you. Hit the "layers" icon which looks like sheets of paper separated, then select "Great Rides". You may have to zoom out to find your nearest.
@@brentswartzentruber5565 I've just checked, to be sure I haven't got it wrong, and there's definitely a great rides layer in my Tread app. I have an Android phone, the layers icon is under the magnifying (search) symbol/icon.
I just came out of a very long trip between Switzerland and Greece and return through Italy, where I used my xt2 and the great rides to choose my itinerary. It was awesome! But some “great rides” in Italy were not so great: crowded highways with trucks and so on… How is it possible to rate them so badly they do not appear in this category for future users? Thanks
Sounds like a great trip, we are glad the Zumo XT2 worked well for you. In the app you can rate the ride and add photos to share your experience with other users. support.garmin.com/?faq=NasfIL0rC50sgmsWXpvle6 -BS
Thank you for your comment. Sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with the Great Rides feature on the Tread app. Great Rides will only be available if your Zumo XT2 has been paired to the phone/tablet that you are using with the Tread app. If you are paired with the Zumo XT2 and still not seeing the Great Rides layer, please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to troubleshoot and assist.
@@GarminRetailTraining why would you share a phone number if the phone will never be answered???. Garmin creates these devised to keep engineers entertained.

This is to me still a very expensive toy, on endless development

How are great rides created and added to the map?
These videos are absolutely great. Excellent job GARMIN!!!! My XT2 arrives tomorrow!!!
How much did you pay for your XT2? I’m trying to look for *any* kind of discount, and I’m not finding a price under $600.
@@Yowzoe Garmin is firm on their price, I do not recommend this product unless you are an engineer. Otherwise you will be buying a headache!
@@77freire sadly I bought it and sat on it and now I wish I hadn’t. Damn.

Will the great rides feature be also available on the garmin Tread ?

Mine doesn't have the Great Rides layer.
@@sdavey10that's not the Tread, it's the Zumo XT2. The Tread App is what he's demonstrating.

My Tread app (Android may '24) doesn't have the Great Rides layer. What gives?

Hi, how can I contact Garmin training team?
Good video; but very boring and zero excitement from the presenter. It doesn't inspire me to continue watching the video.
The presenter does the job very well. He's not doing the video to excite you.
