With my XT2 I route plan and construct waypoints in Basecamp. I find (pun intended) finding POI's in Tread to be a real PITA, making your own waypoint is easy, but usually I want a waypoint to be something of interest eg petrol station / cafe / sight and Tread seems to like hiding them, unless you know where they are.
I then export the route / waypoints from Basecamp via an e-mail to myself. I then open the email on my smartphone / tablet using Tread.
Review the route and see if it has been "adjusted" by opening it up in Tread. If it has, and I don't like the change, then add a shaping or waypoint until it does.
Open up the route and let it be calculated in the XT2 and confirm the route when calculated by the XT2 is the same as Tread one (usually is), if not try adding in an extra shaping / waypoint.
NB - The problems with Tread messing about shaping points is well known, I usually do not have shaping points in routes I export from Basecamp to my XT2 via Tread.
PS - Others have differing ways of skinning this cat! There might be better ways, but my system and its limitations it imposes is ok for me, YMMV.

I have started you a fresh thread.
There is little enough about the XT2 and Tread, so it might (hopefully) create some interest and be of help to others.
