The turn-by-turn guidance is not a standard in GPX files
Not standard in GPX files but there is a Garmin standard for route FIT files. Perhaps Suunto could adopt that.
Basically, turn directions are stored as route waypoints with special waypoint codes.
Some route editors like PlotARoute are capable of inserting turn direction and saving the route as a FIT file, and that works correctly with Garmin watches.So does Garmin use FIT to store routes? But they don’t store their TbT into GPX files?

Like said, it can be done but quality will most likely be bad, meaning you will get either too many or too few turn instructions.
The komoot route? No, it’s not bad and quite usable. Have you actually tried it?
(There is no room in a gpx file for tbt alerts afaik. All other brands also use fit for this)

Overall, excellent work—I do GIS for my “day job,” and the map styling has to be some of the best I’ve ever seen, on ALL baselayers!
Only bugs I’ve found are units settings and login not being stored when returning later (might be a cookie issue on my end though), and when changing the units to imperial, the route library (when logged in) still shows overall route distances in km.
For a future tweak, It would be awesome to have elevation and sunrise/sunset time pop up as a label when clicking (or tapping) a position like in the Suunto App. And perhaps, for manual point-to-point routes, labels on the lines with bearing and distance? Just thoughts from my overly map-heavy brain though. Seriously, excellent work on this project!

Thanks. The login is stored but clearing cache will remove it. Some browsers may by default clear cache between sessions. Regarding the imperial problem, I am not able to reproduce it. Make sure you reload the page in case you have had it open for long and try to find a way to reproduce it.
Nice feature ideas, need to think about them. Difficult to support these on both touch and desktop use though.

@kemetter on my Mac I have the same problem as @johann.fuehrer with the rendering of 3D model if I press the 3D button but not if I tilt the map with the mouse. On iOS devices it works normally.
First screenshot is the map tilted with the mouse, second screenshot is after pressing the 3D button without moving the map.

@Freezer what Mac did you try this on? Works on my M4 Mac mini…

@2b2bff, hi! I’m on MacBook Air M2 (Mac14,2).

Reset Button: An option to clear the currently planned route and start fresh on an empty map.
@kemetter Thanks for the new button to clear the current route

@tuxbuster Oh, this is good, thanks Suunto. But I wait for slope/gradient % indication. Maybe some day…

I think that’s the ‘Interstellar View’
