Software Limitations of Suunto Nautic vs Garmin X50i
-
After carefully comparing Nautic and X50i, and seems like Nautic has some interesting software limitations.
1) No tank pressure when looking at compass:
When I am navigating underwater, Nautic hides the current tank pressure stats. Garmin X50i allows me to see both compass heading and pressure at the same time, despite having a smaller screen. Is Suunto planning to fix this in an upcoming software release?
2) No live dive depth chart:
X50i shows a live dive depth chart on screen, which I find quite helpful. Suunto Nautic can generate a 3D dive map AFTER the dive, but does not show a live depth chart during the dive. Also wondering if this is something Suunto might fix in next software release.
3) No dive topography maps:
I am not going to hold my breath for this feature, because it is a major feature that seems hard to fix with a quick software update. But it would be a miracle if Suunto somehow pulls this off.
It will be super if a representative like @Brad_Olwin or @pavel.samokha can chime in and clarify the plan for software updates.

@Aquario regarding the maps you cannot see them during your driver am I right?

AFAIK the Nautic only shows the land surface map, not the underwater topographic map.
Plus, the surface map also disappears when the dive starts.
