@Egika said in Creation of new sports modes: @MikeC30 no need to delete a custom sport mode. Just remove anyone from the shortlist of recently used (standard) sport modes. Thank you. You are right. It seems the list can have 20 sports (custom or not). If the list shows 20 sports you can not create new ones. If the list shows 15 sports you can create 5

@Egika keeping fingers crossed it will also be an update of the FW 2.52.8 (90th) as Bluetooth disconnect problem still persists (at least partially).

For testing, I attached my route.gpx file. route.gpx Even Better Prep: Virtual Tour with AI + Satellite Maps Before You Go! Want to make your walk 10x more exciting and personalized? Do a virtual preview right from home! Open Google Maps / Google Earth (satellite view) or Apple Maps — zoom into your destination city (e.g., Oviedo historic center). Switch to 3D/street view if available, or just satellite + street names. Ask an AI (like Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — any good one): “Describe the top historic architecture highlights in Oviedo’s old town for someone who loves Pre-Romanesque and Baroque styles. Suggest a personalized walking order based on my interests: [your preferences, e.g., ancient fountains, cathedrals, hidden gems, avoid crowds]. Include why each spot is special and photo tips.” The AI will happily give you a tailored list with explanations — often better than generic guides! For example, it might prioritize La Foncalada (9th-century fountain), San Tirso Church (Pre-Romanesque), the Gothic Cathedral, Foncalada Fountain, San Julián de los Prados (UNESCO Pre-Romanesque with frescoes), etc., and suggest starting at the Town Hall for the best flow. Then: Use the AI’s suggestions to fine-tune your waypoints in Suunto Route Planner (add custom notes like “Must-see: Victory Cross on Foncalada”). Take screenshots of satellite views or AI descriptions — paste into your phone notes for offline reference. Bonus: Ask AI for café recommendations at the end (e.g., “Best sidrería near Foncalada Fountain in Oviedo for a reward after the walk”). This way, you arrive already “knowing” the places, spot hidden details faster, and feel like a local explorer. Your walk becomes truly customized — no more surprises (only good ones)!

@Egika That’s the way. But I couldn’t find a way to see an overview of all my running parts afterwards in the app ( I see the single running parts but miss some overview like overall running distance, overall avg. pace/hr, …) The single running/cycling parts doesn’t count towards my running/cycling statistics as monthly distance, etc. If that would be possible it would be some quality improvement for me

@sky-runner no, I don’t like this. I rather have touch disabled completely and only enabled, when needed. Like in the maps. And Garmin has a button combination to disable/enable touch on the fly. But Suunto has not too many buttons…

New app just released Can’t wait to try it out [image: 1773736904863-1000011600.png]

@zhangschmidt but this is then a problem on Runna’s side. They have to interpret the manual (and Guide created) and auto laps individually…

@CarlW afaik you cannot put in exact coordinates directly, but you can easily move the map around on the watch screen until you reach your desired point. then bring up the navigation menu und choose “Save as POI”. Voila, there you have your POI to add as a navigation target on the watch.

@Brad_Olwin said in Will OpenSuuntoPlus be coming to Suunto Run?: @thanasis said in Will OpenSuuntoPlus be coming to Suunto Run?: @JebClydeNC I don’t follow your rationale … You cannot be arguing that you lose something by having additional options … on the contrary, not having options means you lose the option of having something Well, I see @jebclydenc point. The Run has many S+ features built into the watch so fewer S+ features would be used. Second, if future S+ features require more memory that an older watch does not have that could be problematic. Theoretically, couldn’t Suunto have a setup where an app that has a demanding requirement not show up for Run users but only for those who meet the requirements? Feels like this objective is a QA user more than anything else. Alternatively, if someone on any watch downloads a S+ app and finds it “problematic” then they can remove that app (and ideally, report it as bugged to Suunto). I personally like the Run a lot, it has dramatically improved since I started testing for Suunto. I typically don’t need maps when following a route and often will check my phone anyway. I don’t have a quarrel with the Run for its lack of S+ ability, as I think that makes for a clear line showing why one might pay for for a Race, etc. However, it also means S+ isn’t a “core experience”. I do think the limited sport modes is silly in comparison. People will just end up tagging some sessions with a slightly less useful tag in most cases. Now if there is a limitation of how many modes a watch can “hold” then have a core set and let people select from a list what secondaries they have — I think maybe Polar does something like this? Finally, while I’m here, I’ll repeat I think it was silly for Suunto to give the Run the ability to do offline music playback but not include it further up the line. People say that’s due to limitations of the older watches, but Race 2 came out after Run and still doesn’t have it. Yes, I realize the Run has its own OS and that’s probably part of the reason, but I think it’s kind of dumb they rolled a new OS for just one thing. Mostly though, I think it makes purchasing decisions sillier than they need to be. If I want both maps and offline music, there’s no Suunto solution for that, even though they have watches that offer either solution. This makes Suunto feel more like Garmin in my mind, giving an impression of being more fragmented with different teams on different watches not paying attention to what the other team is doing.
