turn by turn ... A Major Letdown in Navigation
-
@Audaxjoe Hello How did you do to turn it off ?
and still see the nevigation ? did you used SNAP to ROUTE instead of ROUTE ? -
@Mister-PYC Disable the TBT toggle for the route in the App before syncing.

@thanasis at least it should be better imo, but still far from perfection
Not much better?! -

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos When Improvement will come?

The suunto engineers seem to be unwilling /unable to solve the tbt issue. I already posted my comments to them regarding tbt 2 years ago using a s9b, nowadays I use the S race, very disappointing that it is still an issue. How difficult can it be to show the upcoming tbt AFTER the actual one is taken, can someone explain to me??? I love my race, but for navigating it really is a f…nightmare.

@Marco-4 I navigated from Zagreb to Rotterdam with the Vertical. But totally agree with you, my solution is to turn the TBT off and just follow the line.
I find this works perfectly and also now the tooth on the maps shows distance to next waypoint which I’d have as a cafe/town etc. -
As a new Race S owner, seeing that the issues I have with navigation have been around for a year (or more?) is really disheartening. It feels like with some really trivial fixes things could be improve drastically, yet apparently things have stagnated, with little reason to expect improvement.
Another thing I have found is that it’s impossible to edit existing routes. If you create a route and realise you’ve slightly messed up a section, your only option is to undo everything until that part. Even that option isn’t available if you’re coming back to a previously-created route. I suppose one could use another app to edit the gpx route but this feels like basic functionality that any human using the app would quickly require.
mapping is the specific functional selling point of the Race S at this price point. if this part worked properly I could perhaps live with all the other weirdness. I really hope we see some movement, here.

The issue is known and planned to be improved. Hard to say when exactly, but planned

You can edit route. If you have some section you don’t need any more you can long press on planning points you have in that section and move them to a new place
-
@dankcushions someone on here have a great tip. Sometimes if you add one planning point and move it the whole route changes. Which is annoying. But if you add three, the one you want to move and two lock points you can then edit a section without the whole route changing
