Suunto Routeplanner

@tuxbuster TbT:
I just tested this. When I open the route that was synced to my Suunto account in the app, I can then toggle TbT on or off. I am on iOS.
So this one works well. -
@Egika You’re right. I tested it again: If I draw a route from scratch in the Web Route Planner and upload it to Suunto, I can enable TbT. BUT: If I open an existing GPX file in the Route Planner and then upload it to Suunto, the option for TbT in the Suunto App is missing.

@tuxbuster I think the reason is, that existing GPX files do not necessarily match to existing paths or roads. There is just no data basis on which any tool can decide where a turn is a turn.
To introduce turns, the app need to know if a road forks or has an intersection - this information cannot be applied to external gpx tracks that probably don’t stick to roads in the first place.I hope you can understand what I mean…

@Egika I see what you mean. The imported GPX is treated more like a static overlay rather than a natively planned route. For TbT to work, the Route Planner would need to ‘snap’ the GPX to the map and recalculate the path based on the map data upon saving. This is the only way the system can generate the necessary turn instructions.
