Dotted lines in Suunto app?
-
I went for running on lycabetus hill in Athens this morning and I have some dotted lines on the app which I never have seen before !
Furthermore following a track on the watch I was regularly was shown indications of going off which wasn’t the case . Any ideas ?
(Btw the area is not dense by trees and the location with the dots is either clear skies while me settings were on performance …)
-
@thanasis in another post, we discovered such dotted lines which seems to correspond to “pauses” (dotted lines between start/end of pause GPS positions).
Do you have auto pause? Or maybe some kind of GPS lost? -
@Mff73 thanks . I do have enabled auto start and stop but I also observe some offset in the line to the path . There was no obstacle between the watch and the sky (literally it was clear sky and no trees) . I feel a there is a constant uncertainty lately with how the watch behaves and I observe more frequent gps offsets and errors so it’s either the hardware itself or the firmware …
Anyway
Thanks -
I am checking again( in quite a disappointment) the offset which happened in the middle of the activity while the start and end are spot on .
This offset also justifies the constant alerting of going off route on the route navigation. . The dotted lines seem to indicate the watch not having proper gps signal despite the rather favourable conditions.I don’t know if the issue is hardware related but would anyone suggest sending it back or wait for a firmware update ?
-
@thanasis I think the dotted lines are pauses. (Asking for 100% validation)
Whats is the offset ? Can I see ?
-
Those are pauses and I suspect that is the culprit for the offsets (although I still wanna check those)

@thanasis
Seems like this (dotted lines for pauses, not for the offset
) since “discovered” with SA android 4.97 (or at least implemented in the backend at this period) https://forum.suunto.com/post/153193 -
the offset happen’s before the dotted line so they are not necessarily related . @Mff73 thanks
