Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes
-
@MdzOtt Suunto has maps from MapBox, but I assume these are only raster maps. It is possible that MapBox also pre-processes vector maps, but these are from the Openstreetmap database, which is public and free.
The visibility of objects is defined based on the type of individual objects. For example, forest paths are defined as visible for zoom X-Y and have a certain appearance, forest roads for zoom X-Z have a different appearance, shelters have an icon and are visible for zoom X-XX, etc.
It is unrealistic for each object to have a defined zoom level at which it should be displayed. -
@segi_pn allready discussed in december. Vector maps.

@MdzOtt said in Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes:
I don’t think Suunto has its own, in-house maps; rather, it uses maps supplied by a provider (MapBox?). So, in order to change this map behaviour, the supplied maps will have to change.
As stated above, all of the data originates from OpenStreetMap. Almost all app mapping services outside of Google (and Apple, kinda) use OSM as their base. All of the routable lines (called highways on OSM) are divided into two main groups: roads and paths. Then there are tags that can be applied to each to further designate these features.
On Suunto’s maps (on the watch), all paths designated for foot traffic are depicted as thin dotted lines. Although a “width” tag can be applied to OSM ways, it is rarely used and I’m quite certain ignored by Suunto’s maps. When I view the map, all footpaths disappear above the 200m zoom level. This includes trails, sidewalks, and informal paths. Paths designated as cycleways last another zoom level, disappearing after 500m.
Roads have a hierarchy that determines their visibility (motorway, primary, secondary, tertiary, residential, etc.).

@ChrisA said in Suunto 2.50.26 – Q4 2025 Release Notes:
@ISztárek if you read above, you just need to add an interval screen to your customised sportmode and the guides are back. Just tried myself and worked - a bit weird though, but not that bad
and it has always been so, even before update.
No interval screen, no inbuilt intervals workoutsThis is incorrect as Guides were available without an interval screen. For example, A Guide could be a Recovery Run, where you want defined HR zones. I can imagine countless other examples. One should not need the internal interval screen to enable a Guide.
-
It looks like this bug has finally been fixed as well.

@AntoniusGaius Not yet. Had something like that on the last updates but only with trunpoints
-
Unfortunately, with the latest firmware 2.50.26 on the Vertical 2, there is still a problem with disconnections (loss of heart rate visibility) during activity. I am using a Suunto Smart Belt. The current battery level of the belt is 70%.
Around 4.3 km, I noticed that the heart rate was no longer displayed while running; a moment later it came back, and I also felt a vibration on my wrist.
I think the Runalyze graph in the Developer Fields may indicate this issue after 4 km.
-
Regarding new OHR algorithm on the Race S, I’m honestly impressed about my ride to work today. You can argue about the absolute values of the HR, but the general direction of HR changes are very plausible do not feel as random as before the update.
Today:
Same ride before the update:
So, overall an improvement, but still could be better…
-
My structured workouts I created dissapeared from my peak pro too, even app say that they are in my watch.
-
@Tieutieu I already wondered when you replied that it was always that way
- I really doubted my own memory -

I don’t think so. Trail visibility has been changed to the worse as a result of 2025 Q3 update without new maps being downloaded. Before that I update I could see trails at 0.5 mi zoom level (800m). After the update I immediately noticed that trails now were visible at up to 500 ft (150m) zoom level. So for anyone in the US trail visibility radius was suddenly over 5x worse.
Furthermore, in October 2025 at a race expo I looked at Suunto Ocean watch and it did still show trails at 0.5 mi zoom level unlike all other Suunto models available at the Suunto tent at that race expo.
-
During my first run after this update I had 2 issues:
- black screen instead of suuntoplus wing2 screen
- not possible anymore to command media from media screen (play, pause, volume). Only title of the song is diplayed on the watch. Time of song stay to 0 but title is displayed
Note: i am in a custom sport (trail).

@Calando I noticed an increase on the resources widget. Usually I had a 75 but currently it shows 95.

Same weird Resources behaviour on the Race 1. Full day at work (desk job) but work is detected as Recovery! Never seen this before - at best it would earlier show Inactive while being at work. I’m really not that lazy at work
Maybe the new OHR algorithm/behaviour is not properly taken into account in the Resources algorithm?!
-
@Mads-Hintz-Madsen I have the Race1, too. The time before and after work was registered as inactive, the time at work was registered as recovery.
Lucky us that work does not stresses us out.

@sky-runner The Suunto Ocean is so far behind in terms of updates that what you saw was most likely due to the watch running an old firmware version. I use an Ocean myself and have been following Ocean-related posts for a while. Dive users are very dissatisfied with the delays. According to unofficial statements, this is because the diving functions require additional safety testing, but doubts are increasingly growing about this explanation. Many features are lagging behind, even though the Ocean’s hardware is very capable and its price reflects that. It seems that there is at least one advantage to the delay — in some cases, the older version actually works better.
-
@borgelkranz I’ve also a Race 1 and I also notice a different behavior because it reports more “Recovering” during the day than before. At the same time I also noted that the built-in sensor no longer falsely measures too high HR during the day. The values were often too high, now they are quite comprehensible.
Which behavior is more correct from the “Resources” widget point of view I don’t know to be honest. I don’t care that much about the Resource thing but I assume always showing values >90% would probably miss the point. -
@Calando This is great to hear. I had a previous Sunnto watch, which I would have nights in the 30% range (after a couple drinks) up to 100%. When I got the SRs my quality fell in line with yours (78% to 82%) and hardly ever fell outside that, so I stopped believing it. Seems they fixed this.

Isn’t that what he was talking about? The updated firmware and not the maps are the source of the trail removal, as both watches likely have updated maps…

or outdated maps, because I heard some regions have not been updated since maps came out
