@MarkG Touch for map screen has been disabled with this update. You have to enable it in the settings.

Finally got a Varia to pair with R2 last night, but the RTL515 only. RCT715 has been a no-go, as has Wahoo’s.

Is there any insight as to the Varia app being limited to a particular model?

@off242 I think Varia SuuntoPlus app is developed by a third party developer, not Suunto itself. Does it work with RTL515?

The app does work with the RTL515 @danyel but no others. $:\$

That said, I’m kind of underwhelmed with the performance of the app, requiring an additional screen instead of an overlay, as well as near-constant vibrating of the R2 on my commute to work this morning. Guess I’ll continue using a traditional computer for the bikes where I use radar.

I think there’s an email address for feedback related to the app, so I’ll share further feedback with the developer there.

@Squirrel this is interesting. I have just checked on my watch (which is rebooted frequently due to testing).

I still have the custom pace zones I have set like half a year ago. zone 5 is set to below 4min/km. And it seems to not have changed…

@Egika Thank you for checking. I have Race S. Not sure what model @Speed-Man has and whether this is model specific.

@Egika mine went poof as well after this update. @squirrel you are not alone.

@Squirrel Same for my Race 2 : rebooting the watch causes rebooting pace zones.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I can type up a proper bug report and send debug logs if needed, but my Race S just crashed during my long run this morning.

I was about 20 km in using two Suunto Guides: a structured workout and LiveTracking. I realized that I forgot to navigate my route as I was running in a new area. I long-pressed the bottom button to open up the run options -> Navigation -> Routes -> (selected route) -> Navigate and the watch crashed.

I believe this was due to the fact that I was already using 2 SuuntoPlus Guides and cannot start a 3rd. Sucks though, as I had to stop, wait for the watch to boot back up, restart the run, select the workout, navigate the route, and ignore LiveTracking.

Of course I can stitch the two activities together in a single run, but part of the reason I purchased the Race S was because my 9 Baro would crash on me when doing structured workouts while also navigating a route. I was hoping this wouldn’t be an issue with the newer models.

Let me know if this is something you want to dig into.
