Question about POIs
-
Hi everyone,
I have my first ultra run coming up this Saturday, it’s 47 km with a lot (9 I think) of aid stations so I’m planning to take just one soft flask to refill at each station and drink in-between.
I had a very basic thought of writing on my hand at which distance each station is. After seeing the latest updates to Climb Guidance I thought I could have POIs on the watch. Assuming the FW update comes to S9PP in the next days, would you recommend using this option? I want to keep it extremely simple and not use any App or Guide.Thanks!

@Francesco-Pagano hi ! For your needs, even if you don’t have the new fw, you can simply personnalize a sport mode where you can add the field “distance to next poi”.
I use it this way for my longer races : I plan the POIs on my route, and I have a screen with this field. From point to point it’s pretty cool to see countdown distance to next POI.Suunto’s devices at home :
Vertical titanium solar
Suunto Race S
S9pp titanium sand

@Francesco-Pagano Take a look (and test) the S+ app called « Race companion », it’s been a great help for me during similar races.
