Garmin Tread SxS 8"

As of writing the current release of the WunderLINQ Android app is fully compatible with the Tread SxS 8".  

We tested mounting a Tread SxS 8" to a 2017 R1200GS and have created a video of one possible option for using a Tread SxS 8" with a WunderLINQ.  

For map zooming in the Garmin Navigation App you must reconfigure the WunderLINQ key mapping to using +/- instead of Up/Down Arrow.
