Let Garmin show you how to use your Garmin Explore™ data with your zūmo® XT2 navigator.
Garmin Explore is the Garmin cloud for your data.
You can use your Garmin Explore account to view and share tracks,
waypoints, collections and other GPX data.
You can sync data from your Garmin Explore account by pairing your zūmo
XT2 device with the Garmin Tread® app on your compatible smartphone.
You will need to enable Garmin Explore when signing-in to the
Garmin Tread app or creating an account.
Check out our pairing videos, linked in the description, for instructions.
If you skipped this during your initial setup, open the Tread app and select the menu icon.
Then, select “Explore Library”.
Followed by “Enable Garmin Explore”.
Your Explore data will automatically sync to your zūmo XT2 device when paired.
The tracks, waypoints, collections and other GPX data from your Garmin
Explore account will automatically be added to your zūmo XT2 device.
The GPX data on your zūmo XT2 device will also sync to your Garmin Explore account.
You can share Garmin Explore data including waypoints,
tracks and routes from your zūmo XT2 device.
To begin, select “Explore” from the Where To/View Map screen.
Choose the type of data you would like to share.
Then, select the 3 dots in the top right.
Followed by “Share”.
Choose the items to share and select the share icon.
Select a method to share the data.
The data can be shared using the Garmin Tread app or a memory card.
In this example, we’ll be using the Garmin Tread app to share data with another zūmo XT2 device.
You can enter a name for the data, then select “Done”.
Select “OK”.
Open the Garmin Tread app on your compatible smartphone and select “Share”.
Use the sharing options on your compatible smartphone
to send the GPX file to another zūmo XT2 user.
The receiving zūmo XT2 user can then open the GPX file with their Garmin Tread app.
The receiving zūmo XT2 user will see an option to import the GPX file into a collection.
The receiving zūmo XT2 user can then sync their
Garmin Explore account data to see the shared GPX file on their device.
You can also import data to your zūmo XT2 and Garmin Explore account from a memory card.
To begin, select “Yes” after inserting a memory card in your zūmo XT2 device.
Choose the items to import and select “OK”.
Select the file types to import and select “Next”.
Here, you will be given the option to add the imported data to a collection.
Then, select “Import”.
The data will be added to the zūmo XT2 device and will sync with your Garmin Explore account.
Lastly, let’s go over converting a track to a route.
You can convert a track to a route on your zūmo XT2 device if you want to
receive turn-by-turn directions during navigation.
To calculate a route on the zūmo XT2 device, which is very close to an imported GPX file,
start with a GPX file that is a track instead of a route.
Then, convert the track to a route.
To convert a track to a route, select your track.
Then, select the wrench icon.
Followed by “Convert to Route”.
Next, select your preferred trip direction.
Enter your route name and select “Done”.
The route will begin calculating.
The route will now be saved to the routes in Garmin Explore.
And that’s it!
