Suunto Vertical offline maps
-
Hello everyone. I apologize if I made a mistake while translating. I downloaded an offline map to my newly purchased Vertical watch. The map landed on the application, but I couldn’t find it on the watch. It may be due to my ignorance about using the watch, but I think it may not have landed due to any problem, but I’m not sure. I searched for downloaded maps or a different name in the watch, but I couldn’t see it. I enter the maps from the hiking section, the normal map is active, but I wonder where I can see the regional map I downloaded, I would like your help and have a good day.

@ilker I assume you really loaded the map to the watch? You have a working wifi connection and you kept the watch in the charger for the whole time. By the way, some people have reported wifi problems with the latest sw version.
Now when you start a new activity there are lots of options to choose from if you scroll down. Under ‘navigation’ the default selection is breadcrumb trail. Change that to a map and the map should appear as one of the screens in your activity. Of course you can access the map also scrolling down from the watch face to the map widget.
If the map still doesn’t show up and you see a black grid instead then there’s something wrong with GPS or you are outside of the loaded map. Or the map never got all the way to the watch.
Please let us know how it goes!

@ilker you can check the maps you’ve loaded on your watch directly in the app. In the watch you can’t see the “list” of maps you’ve loaded. If you go to “map/my position”, and if you have a gps signal, you’ll see the map background if you are in the region you’ve loaded on watch. Otherwise you’ll have a black and white grid with only current position icon.

@Tieutieu First of all, thank you for your quick response. I thought that the downloaded maps would be listed as in normal gps devices, which is not the case. I also thought that it can be used even if we don’t turn on gps because it is called offline. So I need to turn on the GPS anyway. Then as far as I understand, if I do not install any map on the watch, I will only see my active location and nothing else. If I download a map to the watch, I can only see the area with that map if I turn on the GPS. Then there is no problem with my watch. It just doesn’t work as I thought it would, the working system is different. Thank you again for your help and have a good day.
