Also want to say: On the other hand, between trails that are automatically followed while building routes in Suunto’s route planner and heat maps to have some idea of where people have gone before, I find what Suunto has done to work pretty well.
Yes, there are issues. I still prefer Suunto’s approach, where I have to engage with the route planning more, to the supposed ease and clarity provided by e.g. Garmin’s automatic routing. Better to think oneself than offload it all to technology.
(We had quite many discussions about that when I was among the fieldtesters, however…)
