Hello all
There is a very good feature when we are in an exercise allowing us to lock the screens so to avoid that without our choice we could stop it (it happened to me multiple time with my suunto 9 baro and I liked a lot to have this also here)
BUT FOR ME THERE IS AN ISSUE !!!
It also lock the wheel !!!
For me this is a big error because you cannot anymore zoom in / zoom out the map
If you want to do this you are forced to unlock the screen, do your zoom and then lock again.
As you can be sure that you will zoom in / zoom out quite often, this is what happened to me durign a bycicle small trip this summer, where it was necessary to change the zoom factor to see more preciselly and hen to get back to a large view may be few hundreds meters later, I realized that this lock is a problem
Do you have the same feeling
If there are some SUUNTO devolppers here, could they report this point to the support.
I will also do it directly but I’m just a poor lonesome but happy

@Mister-PYC when I lock the buttons I want them all locked! Using poles often triggers the crown so I am not in favor for a default leaving the crown unlocked.

@Brad_Olwin Hello Brad I’m not in agreement with you
why ?first of all the crown is already unlocked when buttons are lock, you can always click on it to navigate from one screen to the other
secondly what I’m suggesting is to unlock the rolling of the crown when you are on the specifi map screen so that the zoom IN and OUT can operate.
such a feature does not damage in any manner anything.We should come back to the original reason why the buttons were locked
The sole danger of not having button locked is that in the middle of an exercise and exactly as you said the poles or a press by your clothes could stop accidenatly the recording. this is the sole big danger that you may encounter. It happened to me mutiple time with my SUUNTO 9 baro when I was forgetting to lock the buttons.Apart that, OK for sure it might not be enjoying to see the screen on another one but there is no danger. in reverse locking the button and firbidding by such a zoom in and out is again creatign danger, if you want to zoom in/out you will be obliged to unlock and not only you loose time but also you take the risk to forget to lock again or to do a wrong manpulation
Hence fo me the current lock is perfect except on the map, here the rolling to zoom in and out should work also in a locked button mode which I hope you will agree with me is not a big change versus what we have already today and you are also requesting
