Offline Maps and Routing in Suunto App

2b2bff

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 it…

EDIT: Found the issue: phone storage full… still a meaningfull warning would have been better…

@pavel.samokha Okay, I may have spoken too soon. It’s 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 didn’t initially see this option in the SA map view with only my 9PP connected. Didn’t think to check the “+” 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 weren’t paired with the app at the time).

I suppose there aren’t too many app users who don’t 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 sources…and bars!). At least in my test map (Cantabria, a small map in the north of Spain, 62 Mb).

Good job, Suunto!

PS: Now, let’s 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 don’t 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 distracted…

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, I’m glad it works now

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.
