Transfer routes from logbook to navigation?

sigi on the go

Is there any update on this topic or is the current firmware of the Sunnto 9 (Peak) still not able to navigate using a route from the log book?

I am a mountaineer/climber and have been using the Ambit 3 Peak, which supports this feature, for a long time now. This feature is lifesaving if you are in the mountains or on a big glacier with crevasses for several days. If the weather and sight turn bad you have all the tracks available from the previous days for navigating back.

Updating to the Sunnto 9 Peak is not an option if this feature is not supported.

Btw. Current Garmin watches still support this feature.

@sigi-on-the-go this is what i was trying to explain to everyone here….

Don’t want to read whole thread (probably someone mentioned it before), but on iOS it is not possible to export recorded activity without internet connectivity so it is imposible to create new route and navigate by it when you don’t have good mobile signal with internet connection.

@Tomas5 That’s terrible. My old Traverse can build the route all by itself. I think it was a retrograde step on Suunto’s part to move the route-building code to the app for the S9, but at least with an Android phone you can work with Bluetooth alone.

(It’s still no fun though on a storm-lashed hillside to be sheltering your phone from the rain while waiting for the app to complete all its little checks and routines!)

@David-Young @Tomas5 My hope is that the app will provide offline maps and offline routing. I have been asking for this longer than the thread has been here….

@David-Young compared to Ambit era, there is more usefull features that was removed from new watches.

@Tomas5 said in Transfer routes from logbook to navigation?:

This statement highly depends on the use case, as the above posts shows

@andrasveres
I agree! much more useful features have been added than removed… I wouldn’t want to step back

@andrasveres @freeheeler well I don’t say that there aren’t lot of new usefull features. I just say that there are usefull features that was removed:

Route navigation from log
Possibility to use multiple bike pods at once (cadence + power + speed)
Possibility to have paired two different bikes (same kind of pod)
Auto-calibration of bikepod
Custom programmed apps
Multiple displays with graph in one sports mode (hr + altitude for example)
Toggle backlight

From HW side: I miss compass on S5, but yes I could buy more expensive S9 so that’s more or less mine mistake.

This are just most obvious for me but maybe other people miss something else too.

To be fair, i really like new features like bluetooth and daily step counter i didn’t have on A2S. And daily WHR is nice to have but considering accuracy I would gladly trade it for compass, multiple graphs, toggle backlight etc if there was this possibility.

But i don’t want to spoil this thread, so i will keep out of this topic anymore.

@Tomas5 don’t get me wrong, I just wanted to point out that the usefulness of a feature varies by use case, what is useful for me, might not be useful for you.

No question that, if you compare old and new generation watches, they have different features, but I can say only for my case which feature I consider useful or not.

Hi, the topic is already quite old, but the function is still missing. even with the latest generation of Suunto watches. I have therefore created a feature suggestion: Help it make it to the top. Thank you!
