Disastrous at cycling navigation
-
@freeheeler yes, a dedicated bike computer maybe the best thing. Wasn’t there a cooperation with Hammerhead, whichs devices could also use Routes created on Suunto and show Suuntos Heatmaps?
-
@ChrisA yes, there is cooperation between Suunto and Hammerhead.
Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

@cosme-costa you are correct that they can’t zoom the elevation profile, but all their bike comps and most of the watches have a feature called climbpro - when running a route/course it effectively does zoom into that climb/descent and does show the section just related to that climb/descent with detail on where you are, how far left to go and with cycling it will even colour grade the slope. So effectively yes it does zoom in. You can of course also have a screen which shows elevation plot too. You can also have other dedicated auto-climb screen which you can auto switch to (if climbpro not active).

@isazi yes, I just looked it up again - I am just a recreational biker, so I have no real need for a 400.- € bike computer, but it seems to be a very nice device, and if would bike more, I would strongly consider it.
-
@ChrisA I am also a recreational biker (although I can commute for a few thousand kilometers each year with the bike) so I am totally fine with my S9P and the Suunto bike mount (I bought one for each bike I have). I used to have a Garmin Edge 520 but gave it away cause I did not need it.

It would be great to have a “Mute notification while in activity” option.
-
@Kowalski I am reporting this to Suunto in every survey.
-
I personally don’t use the watch for navigation, but it “astonishes” me a bit, that since Suunto has been speaking a bit of gravel on their surveys and have some pretty good ambassadors on bikes that they don’t “correct” those behaviours.
Maybe not their priority for now, or to engage salles on hammerhead.
Or maybe some news on firmware updates
-
@Kowalski that would be helpful. But wouldn’t enabling dnd solve it?
-
@Łukasz-Szmigiel Then you discover you forgot to enable dnd and you receice 52 WhatsApp notifications at the end of the lap and you miss the interesting data

@isazi Thanks !
