Live location S+ app

Nikolai Simonov

Hey @Tamon-Yanagimoto!
nope, never heard this behavior, is it happens if you try use Live.τ + structured workout?

This year, I’ve already run 3 ultra races, each about 60-65 km (6-7 hours). Every time, I share my location via LiveT (Android, Pixel 8).

I ran the last one on Saturday.

On every run, after a few hours, my location stops being shared - it disconnects from the watch or something else happens. I don’t have time to figure this out while I’m running fast, so I just ignore it, but this is a major flaw for Suunto.

I use the Vertical 1.

I thought maybe it was because Android was killing the app in the background… So, as a last run, I made sure that battery saver mode was turned OFF and that the app could run in the background without any restrictions.

It didn’t help.

When I noticed that my location was no longer being shared, I opened the LiveT app on my phone and saw that the button was turned OFF.

I tapped the ON/OFF button to turn it ON, but it couldn’t connect to the watch anymore.

I think you’ll need logs from the watch or the app, but if you’re not a developer, it’ll be hard to fix this.

@Nikolai-Simonov yes I built a custom interval workout because I wanted to use navigation at the same time. If I use the built in intervals I cannot use navigation (this is known Suunto functionality)

Hi. Thanks for the app, it works. It looks nice, like very good piece of software and I like it, but…
The map is horrible. Basically empty, with no usable points that could help somebody determining where actually I am. Like if anything happened deep in forest, mountains etc, it is impossible to precisely locate me, call help, navigate to, or so. No possibility to reflect position to any other mapping service. Even copy/paste coordinates fails. It is weird.
My point is: I use this app during my bike trips (often in the wild) to let my wife or friends know where I am. But they don’t in fact.

@Lazyjones thanx for feedback! copy/paste coordinates it’s really good catch!

regarding maps, for now we use openfreemap as a tile provider but i could agree outdoor / hiking maps is not their strong point. unfortunatelly major providers like a maptiler or mapbox significantly out of budget.

Now i’m looking to self-host tiles, let’s see.

@Nikolai-Simonov Understood. Please allow to quick transfer coordinates to any other mapping service. The one who monitors the position will certainly have to do this several times. It should be quick and easy.
Thanks, cheers.

I was just wondering why my Track Live keeps cutting out after about 2–3 hours every time…

Have you signed up for a subscription since the latest update, and does the free plan include 45 minutes of tracking?

Hey guys!

If anyone faced up with issue when S+ app turn black and disconnect from the app. could you please try latest 1.8 R9 (it should be in the suunto store already) and let me know if it works

also i can confirm that it wont work alongside with structured workouts
structured workout also quite greedy of heap mem. live.τ too.

@Nikolai-Simonov I just submitted two screenshand associated SIDs to the support email. 2 recent 5 mile runs are getting truncated shortly after starting. Duration is saved correctly but pace and distance way off.

Vertical 1 Ti Solar with current FW and app
Suunto App latest beta
LiveT app updated. Happened July 8 and today.
