Here is a solution!
- Import or draw a route with waypoints in MC web (If you want POIs you can add those here as well)
- Make sure you are synced to SA with the watch then force quit SA (it cannot be running in the background)
- Download MC app to your phone, you watch will be recognized and will sync to MC (make sure SA is NOT running first)
- Your route with POIs will be loaded into the watch but all sport mode customizations will be overwritten by MC.
- Force quit MC (not running in the background)
- Open SA and sync. The route will remain in the watch memory with POIs and your sport modes will re-sync.
- You will need to redo this over again to delete the route and replace “import or draw” in step 1 with “Turn off route”
This works for me with S9 and S5, I don’t know about Ambits as I do not have one now and this was working with iOS but I think works the same for Android. I know, a clunky solution until we get POIs or waypoints in SA. I am currently using this for my races as I like to have waypoints for aid stations.

Works great, thanks.

Is the POI coming for the suunto app? Still waiting to make the shift, but it seems the app is still not fully finished?
-
@stevena We think so, a survey released by Suunto showed waypoints and POIs in the app but we do not know when. Dimitiros has said these are coming as well.
-
@stevena maybe it’ll be in this weeks update. But we don’t know for sure…

This week expected update is a watch update and not an SA one
-
@Mff73 I’m pretty sure there will be functionalities added on both sides.

@BobMiles
Let’s hope
For my old SSU, I don’t expect too much new feature but who knows. -
Curious about the new update. Since the last update the zoom in my navigation screen changes at random… lets hope for the best regarding the poi’s
-
@stevena what watch? I at least can’t confirm this behaviour for my S9.

@Shrek3k spartan trainer.

@stevena ok … unfortunately I have no experiences with that watch nor access to that model.
Maybe someone else might be able to offer some assistance or explanation or even better a solution (btw: I would softreset the watch … but you might wait for other opinions, based on experiences) -
Any news on the functionality?

@matthias220841 I am still using MC to generate POI. But its difficult, especially on the phone…
