What do you expect from the next update?

I just don’t understand how you can write such nonsense over and over again.

Sure, I should have explained it better to have you understand it, but it is difficult when talking with a toddler

[Stefan Kersting]

@maszop My map looks like this when using the 500 m scale. Isn’t that good enough?

[Iggge]

@Stefan-Kersting mine look like this

And here are the same 200 m

During summer MTB riders use it for downhill, and winter it’s skiing.

[Stefan Kersting]

@Iggge for sure, it is depending of the topography and how steep it is. Using the watch for hiking, backcountry and MTB

@Stefan-Kersting “for sure, it is depending of the topography and how steep it is”.

True, 'nuff. That doesn’t seem too cluttered to be returned to other maps. What is the contour separation shown in that 500m zoom pic?

[maszop]

@Stefan-Kersting This is not a 500m view because there are no contour lines in that view in Suunto anymore. The current maps in this case are just a gray background, like the breadcrumb from 9PP and earlier models.
Turn off this useless ruler in this case and on the left you will have a number that symbolizes the zoom level. In my example, there is 500m from the older version of the maps, before the removal of these contours.

[Stefan Kersting]

@maszop I like this ruler very much and don’t want to miss it so, I did as you said. I’m excited to hear what you’re saying now.

[maszop]

@Stefan-Kersting These are the old maps, these contour lines no longer exist.

I like ruler too, but a ruler is not needed now when talking about contour lines.

[Stefan Kersting]

@maszop apparently they exist. No photoshop, I promise

[Egika]

sometimes there are contour lines in the 500m zoom level.
Had them myself when playing around with zoom levels for some time.
maybe sometimes a 200m cached view is used when switching to 500m or so.

[maszop]

@Egika It looks like it was actually 200m. The view from 500m is a bit different.

[Egika]

whatever it looks like - there is a possibility to see contour lines at 500m zoom level.
And yes - this is not the standard.
and yes again: I’d be happy to see them back again for 500m zoom too

[Stefan Kersting]

@maszop all right, I did an effort and took a screenshot of the topo map for this area. See also the same area in 200 m scale.

[maszop]

@Stefan-Kersting Well, as you can see in this picture, 200 m is sometimes not enough in the mountains to properly see the terrain.
With a view of 500m-1km do contour lines give a more clear image of the slope.

[Stefan Kersting]

@maszop no problem, as you can see I have the 500 m contour lines If you want I can show you the 1 km contour lines, too

[Fenr1r]

Bring 'em on. Let’s see what’s possible.

[Stefan Kersting]

@Fenr1r @maszop here we go

[maszop]

@Stefan-Kersting It was like that until December (until “temporary” removal). I myself have some older maps with contour lines that I simply haven’t updated. Which was visible in my earlier photo.

As you can see, they are very clear and readable and it is logical that there is something to complain about.

[Fenr1r]

@Stefan-Kersting Grrrrgh. Is KOMO (Knowledge Of Missing Out) a thing?

Thanks.

Do you have other Norwegian map areas downloaded, also with 1km zoom?

I’m wondering what Suunto’s map detail criteria are.

[Stefan Kersting]

@Fenr1r just Nordland, Troms and Finnmark
