      Yes, the issue still persists and has to be solved by an update of firmware.

      Suunto knows this, the only thing we can do is keep the fingers crossed and hope that they prioritize the issue as well and provide a solution with the next update. 🤞

      I have experienced the situation you have described by myself - whiteout on a glacier and you have to find your way back around hidden crevasses with no traces left. In such a situation a track back / non-disappearing breadcrumb track is really, really useful and may be the extra margin of safety you need there.

        This is really annoying, it completely deleted the beginning of my route, the red part is missing from where I started… Ive put a yellow strip to let you see. It is literally ridicolus that you dont know where you started your route from… the blue is the tarck I was following but of course the beginning i did not follow the blue trackj but my own and on the way back I could not follow it back

          Okay, I don’t have any official answer, but a person testing the next software release for the Race told me he did a 8 hours mountain run few weeks ago and didn’t have the issue.

          I’ll post again if I get an official comment.

            I can second this observation. didn’t notice this issue this morning on my 4h run.
            however I don’t know exactly when this issue happened in the past (or after what time or distance)

              I don’t have the exact answer but I did several tests and I noticed that the problem only appears when there is a difference in height. A 10 hour recording to and from work (then with very little elevation gain) posed no problem whereas I observed the problem after 3 hours of ski touring and 1600m of D+.

                ok… I’ll keep this in mind for testing next time.

                  I had the issue on every of my skimo / mountaineering trips so far. Breadcrumb line was always incomplete, only the first section was / is there. At some point, the red track has always ended when I tried to follow it back.

                  This is quite annoying for some purposes and in certain situations is a real disadvantage (not to mention any safety concerns here).

                  So it would be super cool if the issue is fixed with the next update.

                  Keep the fingers crossed for that, I am really waiting for this. Suunto knows this issue right from the beginning, I guess, and vertical is now more than one year old.

                  I mean the possibility to track back the route you have been taking so far (not the track you have uploaded maybe in advance!) is absolutely basic for any gps tool - not to speak of a watch which is designed as an ‚adventure watch for outdoor expeditions‘ that should be ,a companion for the highest peaks‘ (I am just quoting Suunto here).

                    I think this issue should be fixed in the latest FW, but I can’t say that with 100% confidence, so someone need to test on really long activity

                      So far it has worked for me, I will find out the weekend after this one. I think a 40h or more run should sufficiently test this.

                        I am super happy to hear that, thanks a lot 👍👍

                        I will keep an eye on that and will report here (some activities of 10+ hrs are on schedule during the next weeks…).

                            @giuliosq recent FW should be available for everyone, check your FW version in watch settings and in Suunto App

                              @pavel-samokha Solved the problem, the update got stuck at 5MB and could not go farward. Solved the problem! Do you know if that uncomplete track issue has been fixed? havent had the chance to test it, might go for this weekend

                                @giuliosq I had every day between 5 and 7 hours activities last week, and had the breadcrumbs track. So, seems fixed.

                                    Hi @all!

                                    I just want to give a little feedback after a while.

                                    I was out on several longer mountaineering trips during the last weeks. The missing breadcrumb issue is solved imho.

                                    Thank you very much for fixing this, suunto vertical now was a perfect companion for all my trips and a worthy successor of my ambit peak 3. I can recommend it to everybody who is looking for a watch for mountaineering.

                                    Even one of my team mates noticed that the display works super good in bright sunlight. So I am super happy with it.

                                    If you use full gps and the map display most of the time ( which I usually do), battery lasts for about 25 hrs. So you can do one longer tour of 12-15 hrs + your way to the mountain hut the day before. If you want to do more trips in a row, it’s better to have the possibility to recharge (I have the non-solar version).

                                    But hey, that’s totally OK for me and I am happy that vertical now covers most of my needs. It is a good and powerful tool for mountaineering after the issues, I had with it during the first months of use, are now sorted out.

                                    So have fun with it! 😊
