Offline Maps and Routing in Suunto App
-
@Brad_Olwin Oh, in the beta it is
if you click on the little point at the activity start it will open the activity in a popup and you can tap to open it entirely. Thatās awesome! You canāt click anywhere on the activity line but maybe this will be improved in a future update. But if not, the actual implementation does the job great

Edge Case: No offline maps if no device is linked
Makes sense? probably. Just mentioning
Makes total sense. Further, if your watch does not support maps (9PP and prior), youāre out of luck. Is there a reason this feature couldnāt be located in the SA map area instead of in the watch options? I donāt see why the two (watch maps and offline app maps) have to be tied together.

@Prenj I was scrolling through yosemite and saw peak names

I donāt understand whatās this is about.
Mobile app offline maps can be used with or without connected watch.
Mobile app offline maps can be installed from mobile app main map view. -
Installed a bunch of offline maps in the mobile app (iOS 3.9.0, released today) and as I wanted to add another one the app simply closed. And currently it closes right away as I try to reopen itā¦
EDIT: Found the issue: phone storage fullā¦ still a meaningfull warning would have been betterā¦

@pavel.samokha Okay, I may have spoken too soon. Itās actually a bit confusing.
Mobile app offline maps can be used with or without connected watch.
So, yes, this does work if you have a watch paired with the app. And, yes, it does work with older, non-map watches. (Awesome! I didnāt initially see this option in the SA map view with only my 9PP connected. Didnāt think to check the ā+ā button.)
Mobile app offline maps can be installed from mobile app main map view.
This option is not available if you do not have any watches paired with the app. This is what @suzzlo was referring to in his comment above. And this is what I first saw after updating the iOS app (my watches werenāt paired with the app at the time).
I suppose there arenāt too many app users who donāt have a watch, but for them, offline maps will not be available.

Amazing improvement. If names are not shown, try to zoom out and in back again. In my case, no name appeared in the first try, now they show (and some additional useful information, as water sourcesā¦and bars!). At least in my test map (Cantabria, a small map in the north of Spain, 62 Mb).
Good job, Suunto!
PS: Now, letās see if we iOS users can access to previous activities shown in the map simply acting on the starting point

@Efejota it works for me with the iOS beta version

@pavel.samokha big thanks to Suunto. In last year there was lot of improvements and espectially now. Offline maps with navigation, improvements to maps on watch, Suunto Plus editor opened to public. There is still many things to improve but Suunto is going right direction. This is very positive news. Really thanks to all suunto team.

Correct, we limit offline maps availability to Suunto app users who own Suunto watch. You donāt need to have watch connected, but you need to have one paired

@Prenj show it
Yeah sorry, I wanted to make a screenshot and upload it but got distractedā¦
Anyway, when I opened the suunto app offline map now, I can see the names. Strange. And I was not alone with this map without names. My friend had the same thing happening on his phone (both androids) few minutes after downloading offline map. Is there something happening in the background in suunto app that needs time?
So yeah, anyways, Iām glad it works now

@pavel.samokha will watch get street names in same way as in suunto app offline map?

I notice one thing, maps are full of parking in Slovakia Map, i checked city Banska Bystrica. For example suunto app vs mapy.com
For map primary focused for sport. It show too much parking.
