[Race - 2.53.42] Climb Guidance Segment Issue

[SergioB]

Hi, today I’ve encountered the bug shown in the photos below. I’ve created a route using Suunto App, beta version 6.12.6. The route can be downloaded here
The first segment, which was supposed to be a climb to be shown in red, was shown in gray, and it was not possible to zoom in. All other functions worked properly. All other segments worked as expected.

I was on standard trail running profile. I tried both without Suunto Plus app and with Suunto Plus App “Stifa”, but the behavior was the same.

@SergioB I may try to report this because I have never seen it reported before, but 2.53.X is quite old (I know it is still the production firmware for the Race, but in development they are far ahead of this) so it may not be relevant anymore.

@isazi thanks! This is the first time I’ve seen it too (and I use navigation very often)

@SergioB I have experienced exactly the same issue on my yesterday’s run - the first climb was shown as grey rather than red and zoomed in Climb Guidance didn’t work. I repeated the same route twice and had this issue both times.

And in general, I should add that Climb Guidance worked terribly and was wrong most of the time - repeatedly locking to the opposite direction at every single opportunity. It was frustrating!

@sky-runner Was this on your new Vertical 2?

[sky-runner]

@Squirrel Yes, Vertical 2. This was something that I’ve never seen before - the grey Climb Guidance segment. So perhaps a new version of Suunto App is to blame.

Edit: in fact I can still repro this by loading the same route:

@sky-runner it may be indeed Suunto App related, I will report it now.

@isazi here below some other insights, if needed to reproduce/describe the issue.

I made some more tests today and find out that the first segment is always gray regardless of:

• The date of creation of the route (today or months ago)
• The sport mode used on the watch (trail running, trekking, etc)
• The grade of the first segment (cloud be uphill or downhill)
• The length of the first segment (could be few meters or some km)

Btw, thank you very much for reporting it!

@isazi I noticed the same on my Vertical 1 yesterday, never seen that before. First section was greyed out. It must indeed be app related because vertical 1 is still with the Q1 firmware.

@SamppaP yes I reported this, it seems unrelated to the watch but something that is happening with the app
