Live location S+ app

[michaeleaton]

Hi

Any news on this? Also, can i ask technically how you may be achieving this? As far as i can see Suunto doesn’t allow direct access to these metrics via their SDK as far as i can see? Would love to get involved if possible and help move development along

@michaeleaton being tested, I believe the OP will release it sooner rather than later

[isazi]

Released today

@isazi i use in the unknown areas record with SUUNTO APP (and with Vertical double record) for safer navigation (and is very useful bigger maps in smartphone etch…)
so the main difference with this third app?
By the way Kudos to the developer

@gerasimos @Nikolai-Simonov

Which developer toolkit do you have to use? Is it quite standard, with just Suunto libraries?
Which programming language is used?

[gerasimos]

@brechtvb I use the Suunto app with my watch SV !
I start the activity record at the same time and at the end i delete from the application the record.
It’s a “patent” for viewing big maps an my trace in real time.

@gerasimos
This third app is to share the GPS position from your watch, in live to “followers” or for emergencies. Watch GPS is very precise, with less battery consumption than phone GPS.
Phone will consume only data to share to “Internet” and you provide the unique link to people you want.
It is not made to record an activity.

@Mff73 thanks for the info man! Very useful tool

[Stavrogin]

Very cool. Thank you so much. I love that I can use it in airplane mode as well as a map extension. That will be great for help with maps while out in the wild. I know it will lose its “help” functions, but if I am out of cell phone range at least I will have maps with labels on them.

Hey everyone!
Sorry haven’t been here for months, absolutelly no time, hope you understanding!
That said, I’d really appreciate any feedback or issues you’ve encountered with the app. I can’t promise super quick replies, but I’ll be checking this thread.

@brechtvb it’s developed with SuuntoPlus SDK which based on ES5

@Nikolai-Simonov Big congratulations !!! I was waiting for such feature for years ! Very good job !
Is it possible to parameter the frequency transmission ? Every 1s, 10s, 1min for example ?

@Nikolai-Simonov Thanks.
It works quite well, the configuration is not too complicated.
Two quick observations:
No easily visible link on the website/in the application to shere/view the location. Unless it is intentional at the initial stage of development so that the traffic and server load are not too high.

Standard OSM maps are difficult to read in mountainous terrain.
