@Highlands of course that would be much better, but I wanted to make this small improvement possible without asking for the “whole thing” 🤣

Garmin has this function and honestly, it was one of the few things I really had to weigh into the decision to nevertheless buy Suunto…

@Olaf-Gottschalk well, I just did a quick experiment.

Made a note of the current steps Started a cycling workout and paused it right away Walked around the house (counted approx. 60 steps) Stopped walking. Resumed the cycling workout and ended the workout right away. Checked the step counter

The number of steps were exactly the same before and after the cycling workout. So I would say that steps are NOT counted during a paused cycling workout.

(I also did another 60 step walk around the house without any workout activated just to be sure that these steps got properly counted. And they did.)

@Egika I did not know that. Good to know. Thanks!

@Sascha-Domres Thank you for your remarks. I don’t want to risk falling down when running while looking at the map. At the same time I want to keep the stats of my run as correct as possible. If I stop to pan the map and plan my next move, I don’t want the watch to record the activity as if I was running. This makes the map a bit pointless if I can’t work with them when an activity is paused.

I hope Suunto will come with new firmware to enable panning the map while an activity is paused. I support your suggestion to extend the zooming possibilities. Is there any special thread or group where people could make such suggestions and Suunto developers would see what are the most poignant concerns? I hope they visit the forum anyway, but I’d expect a special thread/voting for the most preferred requests.

Thanks.
