@tomahawk5000 those are power merers: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/11/power-meter-buyers-2018.html

@Brad_Olwin To be certain, I had notifications off but connection to SA is on. Every time new workout completed it starts to sync immediately.

@MickeytheFinn as you have experienced, you need a GPS fix at some point.

@Mff73 said in request and suggestion: @safari Agree and not. You are climber (and so I am) but some (many?) are athletes. we must be different from smartphone watches :)))

@loopylou72 j This should probably be moved to the appropriate OS, are you on iOS or Android? Could you try this on a stock sport mode? I will check with my watch today too.

@running-L It does sound like you may have a hardware issue, I have two S9s and they both fix very fast and rarely (I cannot remember the last time) lose a GPS fix during an exercise. It is possible when in areas that are difficult for GPS (deep canyon for instance). But, I did not get a GPS error when running a race early in March where there was a slot canyon. I would start a support ticket.

@gerasimos this is a fantastic idea. I like the idea of customizable long press features for each button. I do like quick access to settings with the middle button, but maybe some additional features could be long press the top/bottom buttons for backlight, screenlock, stopwatch/timer, alarm, start last performed activity (ie. run,swim,bike)[useful for those of us who have one predominant activity]…just to name a few. I am sure that there are many others that people could think of.

Thank you everyone. This was all the information I needed.

@ultrabirch Yes, and if they are off, you shouldn’t see nav screen among screens when working out, nor should there be any GPS tracks later. Did you try deleting a treadmill mode and creating it again?

@Matthew-Robertson Using a standard mode worked but turning off wrist HR may also trigger this issue. I had wrist HR on yesterday with a standard sport mode.

@Halcon Well, first view are common compass navigation indicators. The red is always the North https://www.suunto.com/Support/Product-support/suunto_spartan_ultra/suunto_spartan_ultra/features/points-of-interest/ The others are zones indicators https://www.suunto.com/Support/Product-support/suunto_9/suunto_9/features/intensity-zones/#topic_XY1NkxikIEO4TyozWstYig

@lost_today Yes, send in a support ticket and see if they want you to send the watch in.

@General_Witt said in POI type and distance should be visible even in 1km+ zoom and in the altimetric route profile: @lexterm77 said in POI type and distance should be visible even in 1km+ zoom and in the altimetric route profile: @General_Witt said in POI type and distance should be visible even in 1km+ zoom and in the altimetric route profile: @sartoric I’ve created a new route and the type of WP is shown only when you get in the proximity of it, like few hundreds meters. When you zoom out you just see a dot, so that if you create multiple types of WP you can’t tell the difference between them. I did not know this feature was in SA, how do you add WP to a route? It’s in the beta version. Create a route and long press along the line, then you can choose the type of WP you want to add. I don’t have beta version, and I use iOS version. Will have to wait.

@TELE-HO in general you are correct. Many Informations can easily be dismissed with the middle button. Not so the downhill lap information in skiing. As I said - I reported it a year ago or so.

Anyway, see it as a “User-Story” and maybe communicate it to the developer team. Additional, it would be good to see those features on the ambit, cause that’s the classic model which use mountain-guides and other alpinists. There is no sense of purpose to use those newer (expensive) clocks with additional features of smart watches. I know that there are a lot of competitors on the market, but don’t forget the main (often simple) things of outdoor watches. However I think Suunto is still on the right way

This post made my day. Maybe we need to talk about GPS from time to time to learn about it… or maybe just say “The Suunto doesn’t record 1s and I see it on my GPX file” and see what happens…
