      As someone passionated by old technology and seeing some of it getting revived/having new apps specially with the help of LLMs I tough myself if it could be doable to write a small program to upload a gpx to an ambit on android (either via bluetooth or usb otg)?

      Why?
      1 - As we know, with the closing of movescount to suunto app, we “lost” the ability to sync routes wirelessly to the ambit (on movescount you could open movescount on your android browser, upload road, and sync it with movescont android app and normally you would have the route on your ambit).

      2 - suunto tested gpx sync to ambit via suunto app with bluetooth but it was unstable.
      3 - we only can upload routes to ambit having a windows or mac computer around and we still need android or ios device to upload the route to suunto app

      What was done in the past that may help?

      On my side I have zero knowledge on coding, but I have some free time and for the sake of fun and revival of ambit keen on spending some euros on LLM credits.

      Of course, I expect zero from suunto, but if anyone has tips on how to start I will be keen on it.

      Feel free also to tell me why you think or know why this won’t work.

      PS: for sure the dream would be that instead of this we could integrate this work into suunto app, but I highly doubt it is possible for obvious reasons.

      Edit: already found that the ambit 3 driver is lacking this function https://github.com/openambitproject/openambit/issues/286

      @sebchastang I recall you messing around with the ambit 3, maybe do you have any info?
      @margusl you too 😃
