No information from Suunto Vertical watch when changing direction during navigation

@neverhood You need to turn on turn by turn, it is not on by default, when creating a route.

I’ve never created a route on Suunto App but via Kamoot turn by turn is the default. Strange it is the opposite ‍️
I also turn the turn by turn off.

@Audaxjoe you should try native route creation with SA !
I’ve tried komoot a few times. SA is so much easy to me ! (Except maybe if you are using existing routes in komoot).

I think the issue is activity. My main need for a route is cycling, normally in the range of 150-200k. SA isn’t the easiest on a phone for these distances! Or not in my experience anyway It could be user error…

[Tieutieu]

@Audaxjoe so for you need I can understand why you use komoot ! (Even if SA works well also for cycling to me )

[Brad_Olwin]

@Audaxjoe Use a tablet or computer.

How do you get the SA on your computer? Probably a stupid question but oh well

[Brad_Olwin]

@MiniForklift On my Mac SA runs great. On Windows 11 I believe Android apps also run.

@Brad_Olwin I do the same as you, I also turn off turn-by-turn, but I understand that this is not a solution to what the colleague is asking.

In the end, as the turn-by-turn works in such an unhelpful way, it ends up being a useless feature. It’s a pity.

@enriqueescoms when I had no maps (with A3p, S9b…), first there was no turn by turn. When it arrived on S9B, I used it but with the same limitation than now.
With the SV and maps, If find it less usefull.
When I still use it, I often remove most turning points, only to keep the key ones on my way (complex crossings for examples…). But I only use it as a warning for map looking !

[enriqueescoms]

@Tieutieu Yes, I do much the same. Maybe if the turn-by-turn worked differently I would use it more. Maybe, I don’t know.

[Brad_Olwin]

@enriqueescoms there is a trade off using on a bike vs. Run. But, I agree it needs improvement.
