Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely look at the GPS Track Editor. I had the GPS Accuracy set to OK which meant there were times when it wasn’t picking up signal . The track looks very similar to what we did but I suspect it missed most of the corners and ups and downs especially where there wasn’t good GPS signal. Didn’t think it would miss that much but the difference was around 15km from what others who have done the loop before. I wasn’t sure if there was a way to go back and correct this on Suunto or Movescount. I will definitely not be running this again for a while so if I can’t edit it no big deal. As you said, the most important thing is that we know we did it. Thanks again for your comments.
@soggygeorge I suppose you updated GPS/GLONASS sgee data using the mobile app or Moveslink2, right?
Sometimes I notice on mine that the GPS search icon is missing and then it takes more time to lock.
I’m suspecting its some sort of power saving bug because when this happens (no GPS icon on search) if I leave my watch alone it will not enter into power saving mode and turn off the display.
I need more testing on this since I own the watch for not so long, but as far it lock within a minute max when outside.
@jahtba , any bike sensor with bluetooth smart should work, including the ones from Polar.
But when it comes to bike sensors, I personally would pick something that supports both BT & ANT+
I’m sure Ambits and SA will be better friends at some point this year, but right now it may be a better option to stick with MC until it’s superseded by its successor. I don’t have an Ambit nor have used MC, so the app it’s mostly ok for me.

You can set up autolap in Movescount:

I do not, everything works as it is supposed to. I would recommend a soft reset as described in the manual in “Service Menu” (link to the Suunto website)
@Luis-Silva I habe the same problem with my Ambit 2 and indoor cycling. Syncing to MC (Moveslink) works with power, using the new SuuntoLink version syncs no power to SA, also not to QS.
It seems to be a bug?
Best regards,

Hello. How do you know it’s not correct? And if you are sure of it, how big is the difference? Which ambit3 model you own? Some ambit3 models don’t have barometric sensor, so some imprecision in altitude readings is expected.
What do you mean by deleted? There’s no delete option in watch itself, did you force firmware update on it? If it’s the later, it’s probably gone. Or did you stop it from paused state, so that it asks if you want to save it and you chose “no” ?
Are you syncing with Moveslink2 or Suuntolink? If it’s Moveslink2 and you did hook up a cable, but your Move didn’t reach Movescount for some reason, you might still have sml file of your Move in Moveslink2 data folder and there are few tools out there that can convert it to gpx.
Did you have that typo (SUUNTU) also in app builder?
You must also enable Foot POD searching for your sport mode, otherwise you get that reading from your wrist. For app builder it doesn’t matter.
