Maps Update Rollout, March 2026, Staged

@duffman19 More advanced filtering would be useful here. If “shelter” is used with “bus,” or whatever OSM uses, then the shelter is marked as a regular bus stop. In theory, this seems like a primitive problem, very easy to solve.

@Fenr1r yup, this is a bus stop
@duffman19 this makes sense as simple shelter, but still the bed icon is a little too much for this category

… with a shelter (rather than a simple sign on a pole), AKA “Bus shelter”

Yep, definitely. Suunto already has good, separate icons for shelters and lodging listed in their POIs. Like @isazi mentioned, it’ll just take some time to implement them and sort the info effectively.

Just to be noticed : maps update is significantly faster on my SV1 vs my SRs.
Same WiFi, both watches at the same place.

Egika

@Tieutieu interesting.
I found V1 very slow compared to V2

Tieutieu

@Egika please don’t tempt me : for now I resist to SV2 because I love my SV1 but the latest update is sooo cool on my SRs…I understand that everything would be faster on SV2 !

@Tieutieu
Good that the need to update maps does not occur every week

Ah, true. Vertical 2 and Race 2 maps download should be faster than Vertical 1 / Race / Race S

@Horizontal_2

I can’t update any maps. I live in The Netherlands and have The Vertical 2. The app doesn’t seem to be upgraded, but I’m not on beta.

Delete the map you want to update and then download it again. This way you’ll get the updated map data.
Also consider deleting watch maps you don’t need anymore while you can, using your current app version, because after Suunto app update, you might not be able to delete maps, until you update them first. (This limitation is known and will hopefully be fixed later.)

@Squirrel Thanks! Will try this

Is anyone else experiencing crashes/reboots during the map updates? My Vertical crashed 2 times while downloading the maps.

my Race rebooted once while downloading one of the three maps I updated

@Brad_Olwin ditto for my R2 and RS. Very smooth. Fantastic update!

Sadly the updated maps for Italy still contain wrong data for the Dolomites area (Trentino-Alto Adige), which makes them nearly useless for that part of the Alps … what a pity!

The data is OSM data. Maybe you can help make them better

I wrote several times to all the contacts I found, but never get an answer. The problem is that the wrong data is widely diffused on the Dolomites area, not just localized wrong details. All the region needs to be rebuilt from a correct source.

@Stefano-M64 he meant you have to have a look at the source (OSM) and if it is wrong there, you can correct it there yourself.

I understood, but - as I wrote - there are massive elevation data errors (possibly caused by clouds?) along the whole area, see for example (https://forum.suunto.com/post/147235), I indicated some of them, but nothing happened.

@Stefano-M64
As it was said in the other post, elevation lines in the maps (all maps) are not OSM data but each and every map provider magics to generate the displayed lines but from multiples external elevation source of data.
That said, to me, at least for little more insight about this “Dolomites elevation curves in maps used by Suunto”, I would tag @pavel.samokha

You have to clearly state that you are talking about digital elevation model, otherwise you get useless responses about fixing it in OSM, which has nothing to do with it.

I don’t know if all elevation data that Suunto uses comes from mapbox, or they access different sources for different regions directly, but the elevation source for Dolomites would have to be fixed.
