@greg-bennett said in Suunto 9 Baro Route + Activities:
@mff73 Got it and thanks for the info. From a user perspective it seems like an number of odd odd and confusing design decisions are at play.
1 Uploading a Route, Asking you what activity to associate with the route, but that selection has no apparent impact when actually using the route.
2 Route and Activity, You can start a route, but can’t then select an activity. Again, even though you selected on in 1.
3 Routing Navigation and No Tracking, Route only navigates you, but does not give you the option of tracking same said route. It does give you the options of POIs, but typically you would want POIs + breadcrumbs.
Anyways, just some feedback for the Suunto Team if they monitor the forums.
it is your way to understand this.
1- route is not “associated” to one activity in the app, there is a list of “suitable activities” for that route --> i imagine one day a search engine in the app to filter routes by suitable activities.
3- it is the way it is implemented and once understood it fullfills all needs : navigate without tracking (in navigation mode), and tracking in activity mode.
What would bring a tracking option in the navigation mode ? a duplicated way of launching an activity ?
