Fixed bugs by the new firmware update

@Egika that is @inkognito commenting, not OP And I agree with him, when you realize your compass is not calibrated but the watch thinks it is, you should be able to override that and ask for calibration. Simpler than expecting the watch to always autocalibrate correctly.

@sartoric I donât want GPS direction! I want to be able to use the bearing navigation⌠I want to point my watch to the mountain / tree / any landmark in sight and use the bearing for navigation⌠And I want to be able to use the compass when stationaryâŚ
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos The figure 8 thing doesnât always work! Trust me! I am using my watch for navigation in unknown terrain on weekly basis. There are situations, when the system doesnât think that the compass is not calibrated even though you can clearly see that it is the case⌠In those situations, I was shaking my hand like crazy for over a minute and it did not help⌠We (I am clearly not the only one) keep reporting this and nothing happensâŚ
@Egika Indeed. All the ability of manual calibration during an excercise would solve all the issuesâŚ
-
@inkognito Couldnât agree more. As said, Iâm very disappointed that such critical bugs are not fixed.
Anyway, is there a list of bugs that have been fixed? All one can read on the Suunto website is the Suunto+ addition - which doesnât interest me personally in the least. I want my watch to work, and donât request new features.

@Simon ther is no public changelog / bug tracker unfortunately.

@Simon nothing public, some bugs are mentioned in this forum, especially ones that have been reported here.

@inkognito
I just replied to what you said about âcanât rely on watch for directionâ , that in fact itâs not fair as you can use gps data.That said, I would rely on physical compass and map if know Iâm going âoutside in the middle of nowhereâ
-
@sartoric No worries, I usually have my physical compass and a map with me. But, you know, I didnât buy a watch with a compass and nice bearing navigation functionality to still need to carry the physical compass all the times
-
For me, itâs simply an annoyance. Yes, you can still use GPS and yes, you can still find a track. But itâs tedious, if youâre going lower speed (maybe a steep hill) and the watch orients the map by compass and not by the direction youâre going. And as soon as you stop for orientation, youâll have the unreliable orientation in any case. And when moving medium speed, you donât even know if the map is oriented by compass or directionâŚ

@Simon said in Fixed bugs by the new firmware update:

itâs happened here

I think there should be a message being displayed - full screen - covering the navigation screen - âyour compass is inaccurate, keep moving to see directionâ. Or something similar.

@Ĺukasz-Szmigiel The watch would trigger compass calibration in that case. But it doesnât detect that the compass is not working properly in the first placeâŚ
