I understand that you don’t like it - which does not make it a bug.
I agree that it doesn’t make it a bug. But this shift in rendering makes maps less usable when running in wilderness on trails. When trails disappear after zooming out as little as 500m in metric or 0.2mi in imperial, there is pretty much nothing left of the map. What’s the point then? Suunto is one of the major sponsors for UTMB, so I thought Suunto sees trails runners as one of their core user groups. The design of packaging for their watches conveys the same message - that this is an adventure watch for exploring trails.
Let’s hope this was not intentional and will be fixed soon.
Also, I wanted to use this opportunity to mention that I am also unhappy with the choices of colors on all maps, including the high contrast one. Trails aren’t contrast enough, like dark green on green in the light map or grey on black in high contrast one. Even when trails are still visible, for example at 500ft or 200m scales, they are nearly invisible to my eye due to their width and poor contrast. So with this change, I can still see trails well only at the 200ft scale that covers at best only about 20-30 seconds of running.

@sky-runner I agree with your statement. I always found it very useful to see trails when in unknown terrain to orient myself. I hope they are fixing it with the next update. And maybe an option to adjust how many feet it meters turn by turn gives a warning. It really makes a difference when biking vs running.

Is my understanding correct that with the new ZoneSense data fields it is not required to use the SuuntoPlus app now?

Any info on why the 9PP is not getting the update?

Do it back in the altitude measurements
- leaving the watch idle , it should NOT change either altitude but the barometric pressure … at the moment a storm (which should have triggered the alarm ) changed both the altitude measurement and the barometric pressure , but that way both indicators were somehow wrong

@danct As far as I read it there are only fields for the time in the different zones - but not the zone you are currently in itself. But didn’t try it
