City names in Englisch or German

Hi and hello to the forum!

I have a question regarding city names on Garmin maps:

When I transfer the tours created in kurviger into my Tread app and view them on the map, it shows the Cities names in local language (which is quite challenging when going to East European countries).

Does anybody have any idea how to show the names in English or German?

Many thanks in advance,

Henry

Is this something specific for imports from Kurviger or is it a common behavior of the other app that you use?

When I planned the tours in Kurviger, the names were visible in both languages, especially when I used the „search for“ function. But
When exported the tours into Tread (Garmin App for Zumo XT 2) the names only appear in local language.
So, it could be abtopic to address to Garmin, too…

You mean something like these names:

For this, you have to use the maps that have both languages on your Garmin device and/or app. Is your device and/or app set to English or German? If it is in German, try setting it to english.

Here is an ancient post from Garmin forum where someone wrote that if you have dual language maps (here English/Thai) and your program is set to German, you only get Thai. If you set language to English, you get Thai and English. The post is related to Basecamp, but maybe the same logic applies to Tread App.

Anyway, I do not think that this problem is related to Kurviger in any way…
