Poll: Speed vs. Ascent ...

lohtse

personally want both as a mountaineer/hiker/MBTer having both allows you to see if you have improved over time, keep a check on you time as speed up a mountain side when calculated allows you to figure out when you will be on the summit. So for me BOTH are required.

I miss values next to the graph… is it 3’300m? or 3’400m in the last entry?

Don’t know, it is only a screen shot taken from the latest survey. Looks like a mockup of what could be implemented in the future

@Mff73
I know, I saw that and gave feedback, too.
But what I critisize is that no one knows the exact value… for some people it’s not that important and the graph will be good enough… but why not showing the exact value when e.g. pressing on that specific spot when the exact value is stored anyway?

Ah, OK, sorry , I didn’t catch the point.

Hey, its important to get the ascent as a value

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
yes it’s true, I have set myself a total ascent target to aim for by the end of the year…

but for the next 3 weeks I don’t care, I just learn surfing

More than 1 1/2 year old the poll … nevertheless still valid …

And still no cumulative vertical ascent metric in SA - neither in the log or feed nor in the summary. One would think that having Kilian Jornet as their most famous athlete Suunto would think about vertical ascent. Has Kilian not provided a similar feedback?

@silentvoyager
maybe he does not worry so much as he relies on various 3rd party tool, too?!
…or maybe he has some secret SApro version?!
I recall that Dimitrios mentioned it will come in early 2020 update

@silentvoyager he probably just wears Suunto when he has to shoot a promo video, otherwise he doesn’t use the ecosystem and doesn’t care.
