Tread®

Navigation for Tread® Riders

Tread® is a companion app from Garmin for off-road and powersport riders who use compatible Tread® navigation devices. It helps you plan routes on an Android phone, manage riding information, and keep key trip data aligned with your navigator. The app suits drivers and riders who travel on trails, explore unfamiliar areas, or want a clearer way to prepare before leaving.

Route Planning and Data Sync

The app uses the same mapping and vehicle-profile approach as Tread® hardware, helping keep routes consistent between your phone and navigator. Waypoints, tracks, and planned routes can be synchronized across devices. Tread® also supports GPX import and export, which is useful for working with trail routes from other sources or sharing routes from your own rides.

• Plan and review routes before a trip
• Keep waypoints, tracks, and routes synchronized
• Import and export GPX data
• View weather information and connected notifications through the Tread® system

Group Riding Features

For group outings, Tread® can show the real-time locations of up to 20 friends on one map. This makes it easier to see where other riders are and notice when someone has fallen behind or taken a different route. The feature is aimed at coordinated trail rides rather than general-purpose everyday navigation.

What Users Say

Tread® is listed in the Auto & Vehicles category and has a 4.25 rating from 1,129 reviews, with 100,000+ installs. It is developed by Garmin and is most relevant to people already using the Tread® navigation ecosystem. Users looking for a standalone map app without compatible Garmin hardware may find its companion-focused design less useful.
