Cool to hear that (feature improvement + forum is heard )
As we see that some notifications are possible in SA, may it be possible to have for example a notification that states :
“Hey, we are working on that feature… it may disapear for xxx reasons, and nothing is bad on your side, it will be back soon”
or something more understandable

[Paddeltrader]

Just hard to understand why Suunto released this unfinished cheap app. Its doesnt feel right. The watches arent cheap and we’re Suuntos custumers

[Paddeltrader]

“Finding moves in my area” is gone again since a couple months. Not a big surprise they just shut down function randomly without communication. They dont care much about their customers so no chance I buy a Suunto watch again.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Any update on this? As I’m travelling from time to time to new places, it was (and on MC still is!) a great feature to find a route for a run or similiar.

[Paddeltrader]

@MaxiPalle I quess they dont know why this function disappeares all the time. Its a bug they cant handle.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

hi this is not a bug we cannot handle. There is work done on this and its off intentionally

[MaxiPalle]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Sorry, i don’t understand. Will this functionality return or is it totally gone?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@MaxiPalle this will return. Its shut off currently.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I was always a little ambivalent about this feature, to be honest. On the one hand it could be incredibly convenient to just highlight a route someone else ran, upload it to your watch, and go.
On the other hand, yikes. It’s the sort of thing that you could easily imagine a stalker loving. When this feature is brought back, how does Sports Tracker/Suunto plan to implement it?
It seems to me that the ideal way to do it would be to not have those runs directly connected to specific people, like show it on the map as, “here’s a route someone did recently,” rather than, “here’s a route this person did at this exact date and time.”

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@ianshowalter its a public activity. You can set the privacy to non public and that activity wont be listed. I am not sure why this can be an issue.

[ianshowalter]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Got it. Private activities won’t show up. Thanks!

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@ianshowalter same applies to heatmaps. Just saying…

[Rami Kaunisto]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos When this public exercise explore will return? It has been un-working about 6 months

[isazi]

@Rami-Kaunisto It was working in October, I used it.

[Rami Kaunisto]

@isazi Ok, I tried it summer and autumn many times. Now, I have tried it many times in last weeks but did not working. Not in Suunto app or Sport tracker app. I tried also Sport tracker web site but did not work either. Somthing broked in server sides.

[isazi]

@Rami-Kaunisto yes, been already discussed, @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos says it is being worked on and should be back for good in the next future.

[tseik]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos do you have any info of when this feature will return?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@tseik no my friend sorry. I will have to ask doing that now

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@tseik very soon. Maybe this week already.
