Calibrating the Compass
NOTICE
Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading accuracy, do not stand near metal objects or
objects that influence magnetic fields, such as vehicles, electronic devices, buildings, or overhead power lines.
When your device is connected to the mount, it uses GPS data to determine your compass heading. When you
remove the device from the mount, it uses a built-in compass to show your heading.
Each time you disconnect your device from the mount, you may need to calibrate the compass.
If you experience irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme
temperature changes, you can manually calibrate the compass to improve accuracy.
1 Disconnect the device from the mount and move away from objects that influence magnetic fields.
2 From the main menu, select > Apps > ABC > > Calibrate Compass.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
Group Ride
The Group Ride app allows you to coordinate rides and communicate with nearby riders using preset text
messages, live map locations, and voice communications. You can pair your Tread XL device with the Tread app
on your smartphone to enable Group Ride tracking features.
Voice communication and preset messaging require a Group Ride accessory, which is not included with all
product models. The voice communication feature is not available in all areas. Go to garmin.com/tread for more
information, or to purchase a Group Ride accessory.
