Offline Maps and Routing in Suunto App

@duffman19 said in Offline Maps and Routing in Suunto App:

Makes total sense. Further, if your watch does not support maps (9PP and prior), you’re out of luck. Is there a reason this feature couldn’t be located in the SA map area instead of in the watch options? I don’t see why the two (watch maps and offline app maps) have to be tied together.

I don’t understand what’s 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 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
