Limited update schedule. Due to cost/resource/validation reasons.
Sorry to bring this up again, but does this imply that we shouldn’t expect updates for other regions any time soon? I think we’re coming up on 2 years since my region was updated. There are quite a few trail networks that are out-of-date on the watch maps.

Known and should be improved in the future.
Any thoughts on when this future is? Kinda seems like Suunto prepped all the maps for the Vertical release and then
completely forgot aboutdeprioritized updating anywhere outside of UTMB regions.Hopefully the future is soon-ish. I don’t know exactly how Suunto’s map update process works, but it is possible to create a system that updates from OSM info on a daily basis. BBBike does this for Garmin maps.

@pavel.samokha Yes, please. I contribute to OSM, and regular updates would motivate me to edit more often.

Is there any hope that the Balkans will get back the contour lines above the 200 m limit anytime soon? I’m really struggling to understand why some regions get this but others don’t. This has now been going on for years, and I tend to buy a new watch every 2-3 years. So it spans the entirety of this watch’s lifetime with me. Why do some regions get better treatment regarding maps? Should this be presented to buyers so they know that, depending on the region they live in, some features could not work as expected?I love Suunto ecosystem and build quality, but I’m not sure I’d accept this limitation on my next watch TBH.
