@Gunnar said in Map Design Update 2.53.42: memory is not storage Unfortunately, I can’t find any information anywhere about the difference in RAM between the Race and the Race2.

Merged topics. If after watch restart the same map loads okay then we now identified one cause and it should be fixed in the next watch firmware update

@PhilBee said in new Vertical 2 - auto vs manual laps: yes i guess it must mean that coros record auto 1km laps since the previous auto or manual lap - but what’s wrong with that? to me that makes far more sense Nothing wrong. With that. With Suunto’s approach you can have an automatic lap on each km and an manual lap/interval whatever you wanna call it (in German they are called “Runden”) that are connected with some meaning. Especially if you follow a guide you might have something like 5 Minutes warmup 20 Minutes easy pace 1.6km as fast as you can 10km easy open end - run back home Each of these will become an individual “Runde”. This approach makes sense as well, doesn’t it?

@GiPFELKiND yes, all the time. Haven’t you asked this question in another thread?

@Hashly-Iian but isn’t this an easy to implement Upgrade which would be very heplful! All data and technical basis is already given. Maybe with the step from beta workout plans to the final version…hope so.

@larrybbaker Only pressed pause, and start again 3 times pausing, produces 3 more running activities. The vertical 2 and suunto app is new for me. Last suunto watch was ambit 2/movescount.

@duffman19 Thanks for those links. You’re exactly right—all those navigation features are independent. How that’s even possible is a mystery to me

Yesterday I also had a soft reset during activity. It was simple walking activity, no navigation, no interaction with the watch, and 3 SuuntoPlus apps active. Suunto Vertical 2 with latest firmware. I had soft resets quite often before. Then I did a hard reset and for about one week everything was OK. Now I had another soft reset during activity. I am quite sad about it.

16/05/2023 : first time I used my SV1 (it was release date or very close) Best watch I ever had. Awesome since the beginning, unmatched autonomy

@Egika Ahh ok. Many thx

@maszop Thanks. And weirdly it has now synced correctly some 20+ hours after finishing the activity. That’s what usually happens an hour or two after I’ve grumbled about it on here. I’m inclined to suspect some sort of Bluetooth issue but whether it’s the phone or the watch I can’t say. It’s annoying.

@sky-runner For me (Vertical 2 and Android) that is not the case. After the activity it’s available again. It can take like 10 seconds to appear black again, though

@Nelson-Diogo ohhh, at least this makes sense also for Suunto … let’s see if they implement in there Race and improve in the Run

The watch and phone are connected via Bluetooth, and I’m receiving notifications, but the app shows no connection. I turned Bluetooth off and on on the phone, but it didn’t fix the problem. What else can I do? [image: 1776097483350-a11.jpg]

@inkognito Re random bug: yup, that’s what I’m worried is the truth. Removing & re-syncing didn’t work for me. I have managed to correct a route that was similarly inconsistent by exporting it, opening it in Plotaroute, deleting all hidden auto-created WPs in the “Directions” panel, downloading, importing to SA, etc. Tedious but so far effective for the routes I consider important enough to bother beforehand. A fix for all? No idea. But if you’ve got such a route you’ll do again … give it a go and report back, please!

I experienced the same with distance based zooming. Did report it.

@DrSilverthorn Wait until you try to sync two or more watches with the app. Then as you switch between watches, the one that was inactive keeps bringing the routes back, so it becomes very difficult to get rid of them. You have to remove a route from every watch to truly remove it; otherwise it keeps coming back. There has to be a “master” copy - a source of truth - and I think it has to be in the app or more exactly in the user account on cloud because routes can also be added via the route planner on the web or sync with 3rd party services like Strava or Komoot. Also to make it even more complex there can be multiple Suunto apps on multiple devices. Even if only one device can still, routes can still be changed on every device. Personally I edit routes on 3 devices - a phone, a tablet, and MacBook laptop running iOS Suunto App. But only the phone does sync with the watches. Someone at Suunto needs to sit down and analyze this in details and fix it once and for all. A decade ago I fixed a similar mess of bookmark synchronization in Chrome browser, so I know it can be done.

@cpinky I have the same black grid issue https://forum.suunto.com/topic/15061/black-grid-on-new-maps?_=1776587723972

Coming back to this thread, I now see the restriction “while the Walking activity is active.” First, I don’t think this is an important metric for “live” use. The reality is “step count” is a basic metric that is most useful when you don’t have access to other metrics. For example, a cheap pedometer you attach to your shoe can give you steps but likely won’t have GPS to measure actual distance. In almost all cases, your actual distance is more important than number of steps. However, there is a related metric, cadence that can be relevant. This is “steps per minute,” and in running the advice is to typically around 180 spm which is what I tend to go for, although some prefer slightly different values. Search “ideal running cadence” but here’s a starter link: https://us.suunto.com/blogs/blog/tracking-cadence-heart-rate-and-pace-while-running So I’d look to cadence for “how effective are my current steps” and distance instead of total steps.
