Vertical Map fantasies

@Luis-Andés-Olmedo
The possibility to activate / deactivate would be great -
@MiniForklift it would be wonderful if we could choose which data to display with maps.
I do see the upside of just having the map with nothing to get in the way, but on the other hand having to change screens during a trail run has put me in a few face down on the ground situations
-
@Egika at the moment I wrote it I didn’t have in mind the possibility to choose, chhosing is definitely much better than having fixed data
-
@Mff73 great idea

Having two fields over the map (i.e. time and distance) is a big help when running in technical trails…

I posted this on another topic but I will repost here as it is relevant to the OP’s question, I think it would be good if we were able to pause an activity when you are on the map screen. Quite a few times I’ve come to a stop and gone to pause it with the middle button before realising that you can’t do this, so then you have to scroll through a couple of screens before you can pause it
I have got a little better at remembering to cycle through the screens in advance if I know I’m soon going to be stopping, but would be nice to at least have the option to set the middle button to be a ‘Pause’ for those that wanted to

BTW do you need to calibrate compass very often? I’m not sure if it is after every sync or when I activate a gpx route….
Nevertheless whatever the reason it’s annoyingBeen with a Suunto on my wrist since Ambit2
Currently alternating between Race titanium & Vertical titanium solar.
Would love a Vertical with amoled display. -
@peegee After charging for sure, when starting navigation sometimes.
The question is what is more annoying:
The rather quick calibration or a misleading compass… -
@peegee My compass needs calibrating regularly, but also seems to calibrate quickly. On the 9 Baro it took ages to calibrate. So for me not much of an issue.
-
I really would love to have labels on maps but as a layer that could be activated/disactivated, as said on previous posts, and ability to display one or two metrics (time/distance…)
On other “fantasies” that should be under dev would be to have some king of “OTA” updates of maps corrections from OSM.

@Egika great ! What else to say ! Guess my mind was synchronised with release time !!!…should I think harder to other things ??!

@Luis-Andés-Olmedo agree as well. I’d like to have the ability to get a datafield or two, but not at the expense of readability.
Edit: with regards to readability, I think the main issue would be adding too much detail to the existing maps. If Suunto goes down this route, the extra detail should be optional.
