Live location S+ app

@Lazar-Dimitrov upd: should be fine in the latest Testflight update (72)
please let me know if it works or not.
-
@Nikolai-Simonov Both works now!
Sending message to iOS with Testflight version is working well plus the finished activity notification is gone.
When the watch is in a different screen than the S+ live tracking, there is a vibration, when a message comes in. It is rendered once I enter the S+ screen.
Have not tested yet, what happens if I send multiple messages before looking at the first one…And sending SMS to a German number is also working.
This became an awesome tool!

German mobile number works now… in the regular app, not only in test flight
thanks a lot! -
@Egika Awesome great to hear it!
So, enjoy using it!

@Nikolai-Simonov I still get the pop up for showing last route as mentioned earlier. Also, still not able to add a GR number.

Is it now possible to receive notifications on the watch (whatsapp, etc.) when you go live or can you only receive Messages from Live view?

could you try reset browser cache?
Also, still not able to add a GR number.
will be next rollout
@graciti
it’s only from messages from live view, not sure if we able to share btle connection with suunto app on the same device in near future. only if suunto decide to integrate our app into their…

@Nikolai-Simonov just for unserstanding: if the live app is running, it is also not possible to add routes to the watch, because the BT connection is exclusively used for the live app?
thx!
-
@Nikolai-Simonov Sad too hear that, hope there will be a solution some day.
-
@egika unfortunately, yes. however, as a workaround, the latest version (still in appstore review) adds a restore session feature.
so briefly
you will be able to turn off live.τ for a minute, sync with the suunto app (to update a route or something), and then turn live.τ back on, the app will let you continue your session without interruption.it’s kinda hacky and not ux friendly solution, but it could works for non frequent things like an route update.

Hi everyone!
I want to make the development process and feature planning a bit more transparent for those interested. I also want to ensure the product solves real user problems, so I’ve decided to try launching a public feature request board for the project. - https://athletica.userjot.com
I think this approach will bring more clarity from my side and help me better understand actual needs. So please, jump in, vote for features, submit your own feature/bug requests, and feel free to share the link with anyone else who might be interested!
P.S. first time using userjot, hope it works smooth.

Has anyone measured the battery drain with live tracking? I’ve noticed it’s consuming about 3% per hour.
-
@Antoine I had an idea to measure this, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Honestly, measuring power consumption properly is not as simple as it looks. Battery percentage is a very subjective metric, especially just on-eye observation.
To do it right, we would need to use a multimeter and run controlled A/B tests (baseline vs. tracking in background/UI) across different devices multiple times.
That’s the only way to get real consumption milliamp numbers instead of just rough estimates.
But 3% per hour looks great for continuous live tracking.

@nikolai-simonov : thanks for aswer.
Of course. It wasn’t a criticism. I just wanted to get a rough idea of the battery drain on the Suunto Vertical. My measurement isn’t super precise, but I’m usually at around 1.6% per hour during an activity (100% ≈ 65h). With the SuuntoPlus Live Tracking app enabled, it’s around 3%, but i just want to confim that (or not). My goal is simply to estimate the overall battery life of my suunto vertical 1 for a long race while using live tracking. -
Hey everyone!
A couple of exciting updates are now live for those who enjoy following athletes via the web version.
Here is what’s new:
Smoother camera tracking: The camera following modes have been significantly improved - they now work seamlessly without any jerky movements. This is especially noticeable in the “dronie” view, where the movement physics have been tweaked to “realistically” simulate a flying drone.
Camera switcher: The camera mode switcher has also been refreshed to make it cleaner.
3D character: A useful… or at least a very fun new feature has been added! Instead of a simple plug/arrow on the map, it is now possible to switch to a running 3D character. (3D button in the right-bottom corner)
A quick heads-up about the 3D character:
Right now, it’s a basic stock model and it only knows how to run. So don’t be surprised if an athlete is speeding along on a bike while their character still running. There are plans to make these avatars much more interesting and customizable in the future… now just try it out.Of course would be great to hear your or your spectator thoughts!
