Alternatively, riders can pair Tread with their compatible Bluetooth®-enabled helmet or headset for hands-free voice communication. What’s more, riders can pair Tread with most of Garmin’s inReach® satellite communicators to stay in touch globally via two-way text messaging, access to weather and crucial interactive SOS. And thanks to the all-new Treadô mobile4 app, users can easily import/export GPX files, access live weather, canned text messages and sync trip data across all devices.
