Seems like the old thread got resurrected.
My expectations are the same - to get the software more polished.
I use map, navigation, and climb guidance features very extensively - every week, sometimes multiple times per week. In my opinion it continues to be a mess. Almost none of this stuff works flawlessly - that is unless you use these features in the most most basic and straightforward way. There is a large number of quirks and bugs, and unfineshed rough edges. I could easily make a list of probably 10-15 issues that I continue to hit on every long run including:
The watch not following the navigation route as planned and jumping from one part of the route to another
Navigation direction reversing - almost guaranteed at a turn-around. Also often the route is reversed right from the start.
Climb guidance switching direction (going right to left), swapping colors (green for uphill), or just plainly not working correctly and showing me on an uphill segment while I and descending
Climb guidance zooming working incorrectly or event refusing to zoom
Light blue navigation arrows not being visible
Off-route notifications when I am not off route and the watch shows me right on top of the route
The above is what I could remember in a few minutes, but there are many more issues.
If someone at Suunto took a comprehensive look at this area of functionality and made sure it offers a more polished and reliable experience for trail runners, with all features completed and working correctly, this would be the best thing for me to have in the next update.
But in the last almost 2 years of owning 3 different Suunto watches I am continuously frustrated by the lack of improvement in these core areas of functionality. The only reason I continue using a Suunto watch is because there are no significantly better alternatives from competitors.
