@isazi no in the RACE maps you only have 2 map options: light and dark. In Vertical you have Dark, light, Outdoor. Outdoor is complete missing on the RACE

Not exactly.
Outdoor in Vertical is Light in Race.
Dark is the same.
Vertical has a high contrast variant, that Race currently don’t have… -
@Egika thanx

@Mitch9
Agree with you, I also update osm maps when needed, and I would also like to have these updates in my SV… one day, but not I decades. -

Hi there
I am struggling with my SV maps update.
The magnet of SV charger is so weak. Do you have the same behaviour when you plug it?
(My wife is starting to hate my SV with the sound
)
I tried to couple of time but the same behaviour.Suunto Vertical Titanium

@Wilson75 Not really struggling anymore, more like having accepted it somehow and adapted. Yes, the magnets are incredibly weak, so that I see no chance to charge / connect the watch when not lying on a very flat surface where nothing and noone will touch the watch or the cable. A lttle bit annoying, but it works. But, a (physically) more stable connection would be most certainly welcome.
-
@Wilson75 I have more than one charger cable and some seem much worse than others. One is very finicky and difficult to get the watch lined up on while the other I put the watch on the charger and forget about it. I do not see why they are different but this is my experience.

@Brad_Olwin Same here. The OEM one that came with my Vertical can be tricky to line up, but the spare knockoff one I bought from Amazon seems to consistently work.
What I have noticed is that it is harder to line up when I put it on a hard surface and the watch on top to charge (I think the band pops it up off the contacts). To alleviate this, I resort to using the OEM one on the carpet floor or put a towel on the nightstand and it seems to work better.
The older design of the Peak charger with its two half circles of contact worked very well (but doesn’t work with the newer watches).

I usually wash my watch with a little soap before loading. Last weekend I tried to load it in morning after wearing it at night and got bad connection. Watch was beeping few times while downloading map updates. I washed it and after that no more beeping.
I bought my watch after release and did battery calibration (running battery empty). That was the only time when watch was constantly beeping few minutes while downloading maps but after that it never happened again.
-
@Brad_Olwin same, I have charging cables that work better than others, with some Incam charge and download maps, with some I can only charge (downloads are interrupted)

Hello and happy new year!
Sorry for the question, but what is the procedure for updating the maps?
Thanks a lot!
-
@Frederick-Rochette have a Wifi set up in the watch that is within reach. Then connect watch to charger.

@Egika Thanks! so it’s completely automatic, nothing special to do, not even opening the suunto app?
-
@Frederick-Rochette yes. Like written above.
If you want you can check the progress in the app, but it is not needed. -
@Frederick-Rochette not unless you want to change maps.
-
Today I saw available updates for maps in Austria and Italy, I think? Does anybody know mor? I will have to charge my watch next week, and I will see what happens…
-
@Egika I had the impression my Vertical asked itself to update the maps, when I was charging it?
How can I see if the maps are updated already on my watch?
-
@Philip Check the offline maps section in the Suunto App.
If updates are available they will be listed there.
If no updates listed, your maps are up to date.
