      @freeheeler thanks a lot for the great feedbacks!

      One last question: has the navigation/zooming in and out of the maps changed since the new firmware update, or the button shortcuts for zoom and switching back the the other screens are still the same?

      Thanks!

        you’re welcome 🙂 👍
        it’s still the same (Vertical).
        the zoom level is bigger now.

                  The MIP display of the Vertical is also my choice for maps on a sports watch.

                  You can find some reviews with the map view of the Suunto Race mounted on a handle bar of a bike. Without full brightness of the AMOLED display it is nearly impossible to see the map and route. It is completely different with the AMOLED on your wrist, because with the movement of the arm the brightness will come up according to the light in the environment and you can hold the display at the best angle for reading the map. That’s not possible for biking, kayaking or other outdoor sports where the watch is not on the wrist but on the training device.

                    but with the display facing upwards, the display is always bright and doesn’t need to go from low energy to full on first

                      In two videos there was a low lighted display and the rider had to press a button to get full brightness. May be the users did something wrong.

                      Thanks for the correction! 👍

                        I did some rides with the Race on the handlebar and didn’t notice the screen to reduce brightness. I’m pretty busy this weekend and next week, but I hope to get the chance to test in real life, soon.
