      Somebody that has experience with the precision of backcountry vs alpine mode? I’m not sure but I think these two modes have a different precision level concerning the gps track.

      I think the alpine mode is more precise because the gps track shows every turn but in the backcountry all my Turns are not shown. It’s just a straight line down.

      Anybody who can confirm that?

        @stefan-kersting Could be possible.
        I also noticed this with running. GPS setting is on best so that should record every second but the running profile records at variable intervals between 1 and approximately 5 seconds.

        If you analyse the JSON file it should be visible.

          I don’t notice that… maybe you need to do wider turns? 😉

            @freeheeler maybe I should not run straight down all the way 😉 but it is a possible explanation…

                @stefan-kersting If your watch syncs with SA, it creates a file named “entry_<numbers>.zip” file on the phone. On Android phones it is located in the folder “Internal shared storage\Android\data\com.stt.android.suunto\files\smlzip”.

                If you open the file, you see 2 JSON files inside: “summary.json” and “samples.json”.
                The last file contains every GPS sample (and more) the watch recorded.

                    @stefan-kersting I would be surprised if those file weren’t created on iPhones, but I don’t own one so I can’t check 😄
                    Maybe someone else in this forum knows the location of those files on iPhones?
