Syncing, Adding, and Deleting Explore Data on a Tread Device
The Garmin Explore account is an intermediary tool for creating, deleting, and transferring data to and from the Tread - SXS Edition, Tread - Overland Edition, Tread XL - Baja Chase Edition, Tread XL - Baja Race Edition, and Tread XL - Overland Edition. You must connect to the Tread app and enable Garmin Explore to sync your Garmin Explore Account data with the Tread.
See instructions for the Tread - SXS Edition, Tread - Overland Edition, and Tread XL - Overland Edition null.
See instructions for the Tread XL - Baja Chase Edition, and Tread XL - Baja Race Edition null.
NOTES: You will need to use the email address from your Garmin Explore Account when signing in to the Tread app. The Tread will not pair to the Garmin Explore app on your smartphone. However, you may download the Garmin Explore app on your smartphone to make edits to your data. The Tread app can also be used to make edits to your data.
Synchronizing Garmin Explore Account Data
The Garmin Explore website and mobile app will wirelessly sync data with each other and the Tread. Information that is added or deleted from the Explore account from the website or app will then be added or removed from the Tread the next time it syncs to the Tread app. If your smartphone does not have an active internet connection, it will not be able to sync.
See the Appropriate Instructions to Sync Data from your Device with your Garmin Explore Account.
The Tread - SXS Edition, Tread - Overland Edition, Tread XL - Baja Chase Edition, Tread XL - Baja Race Edition, and Tread XL - Overland Edition can be used with or without an inReach subscription.

When paired and connected, the Tread, website, and Tread app regularly communicate with each other. When the app syncs, it sends and receives user data between the website and the Tread. With an inReach subscription, the app also syncs account changes made on the website, such as check-in messages (null) and inReach contacts, to the Tread.
NOTE: You must use the Tread app to sync data to and from the Tread. The inReach Sync application is not compatible.
Items That Sync Between the Paired Device, Garmin Explore Website, and Tread App
