Strava Live Segments
-
@Mi_chael after reconnecting, repeat the process I described before. Thanks.

I just tried live segments and they work as promised. The only problem I have is that I canāt add new segments. It only shows the segments that I had starred before and it does not sync new segments at all. Any solution for this? I donāt want to delete all started segments just to try it because I donāt want to lose my starred segment list.

What is the āofficialā status of he live segments? I had read in several places that it was a ābackendā issue that Suunto/Strava have to fix. I have disconnected/reconnected my Strava account multiple times with no luck in getting my live segments to show up/load. SV/iOS both on lates versions/code.

@larrybbaker status is that they have been released in production, both Suunto and Strava announced it publicly, even Ray mentioned it.
-
@isazi So any suggestions on getting it to work?
-
@larrybbaker have you tried this already?
first, try to add a new segment in Strava, and then go to Suunto App and refresh the guides. If this does not work, another trick that used to work in the past (cannot tell you if still works) was to go to Strava, delete all segments, go to Suunto App, refresh guides, go back to Strava, add segments, back to Suunto App, refresh again.

BTW the official support page from Strava:

They do work. Initially, there was a problem that required unlinking SA and Strava, potentially re-installing SA (and a few other steps). But once it started working, it does sync additional segments (or drops the ones that you un-starred in Strava).
One big gotcha is that Strava will not let you sync any segments that have a negative gradient (even minimally negative) and there is no feedback on that (you keep adding segments and only some of them come across). But this is a Strava issue (I guess, safety related). -
@isazi Thank you - yes I have connected/disconnected the SA and Strava, deleted all my segments and added a few back. Still not showing.
