No-Map-Problem
-
@isazi for using your watch, you always need to bring your phone too?
Browsing quickly on the map to see what is still ahead of you makes perfect sense to me (while indoors warming up, without GPS fix).
-
@isazi maybe to check if map works for routes on different location (on vacation 1000km away)?
-
@isazi
Adventure first. Now maps are there, why limit their usage just to the initial use case. Vertical has map, and potentially enormous battery duration : imagine your phone dying or running out of battery…
It is not just playing on our couch (yes, today it is), or checking that map download is correct in another area where you won’t have Internet and charger to redownload it, etc…
So, feature request, just that
-
@renton82 Agree. Would be nice to preview a map on the watch without gps. I don’t always bring a phone and trying hard to disconnect more often.
-
@Likarnik Not only 1000km away. I noticed a map glitch on a route 50km from my home. Only way I noticed it was by following the route and be surprised by it.
Even if I had checked it at the location and noticed it right before the start of the route, re-downloading it wasn’t possible because I don’t have a charger with me.Checking it upfront from home would be great.

@isazi so redownloaded all the maps including my local area Hessen, Germany. Still black screen. Any clues?
-
@Hristijan-Petreski send logs and a PM, I’ll open a bug for you.
-
@Hristijan-Petreski maps work flawlessly for me now. Before it was clear, that the maps were faulty, I did a hard reset. Perhaps that helps 🧐
-
@isazi Apparently I had to go for a run first since the reset may have lost my gps? Nevertheless while on maps the watch said it has acquired location but was blank. After run and while running the maps are working fine
Thanks. -
Is there any possibility to check if a new map is ok or not before I am there? I will go for holiday to Fréjus and just downloaded the map for the Côte d‘Azur… I‘m not sure if it will be possible for me to download it again when I‘m there… did somebody just use the map there?
-
@SuperFlo75 I tested if you can use your phones wlan hotspot and it worked for me with an iphone. So if there is cellphone coverage, you should be able to download maps to the vertical
-
@isazi when weather on watch can be based on the last gps fix (even 1000km far away from my actual position) why not maps?
-
Hello, I found a new problem. I went on a long hike yesterday and after the first break, the navigation system kept beeping and vibrating. After about an hour it was over. After the second break the same game again! Battery has dropped from 80% to 55% in 4 hours! Vertical seems to be very bugy!
-
@Racoon6 uh thats odd… but I don’t think its a general problem with the watch being buggy. I did a 27 km bike ride (with a two hour break in between) and 10 km Nordic walking- both with navigation - without any maps problems. I guess that adding maps to a ecosystem like Suunto‘s which has worked well for many years without it, is just a big step and also a very complex one softwarewise. So I would anticipate that there will be problems and bugs with that in the beginning, but Suunto normally fixes severe bugs quite fast.
-
@dombo weather is based on your phone position
-
@Racoon6 is it possible that auto pause was constantly kicking in because of slow movement?
Just guessing, as I have not seen anything like this in many months of testing…
Cheers -
@Egika Hello, I don’t really think so. Time, pulse, etc. continued to run normally and I had a speed of 5-6 km per hour.
-
@isazi hm. so it didn’t work for me. I traveled 500km and I saw on watch forecast for the location of my last activity even weather was synced 10 minutes ago.
-
I re-downloaded Paris map, and brand new London, both of them don’t work.
-
@zhang965 I assume you have a GPS fix first. If the watch does not have a fix, the map will not show properly so it is not possible to see both Paris and London at the same time.
