      @Fenr1r yeah. We had it in video.

      This is the beauty of this living form of the forum 😅

        @Bulkan I saw the waypoint video; could you direct me to the POI, please?

                  @Mff73 they’ve handled it pretty well 🙂
                  I’m looking forward to it. They say that you have to wait longer for good things :), but in this case it’s a bit excessive 😛

                    That’s the vid I remember: it shows a named waypoint (there’s a giveaway somewhere). Better than nothing, of course, it’s not, as yet, a POI. No sign of coordinate entry/modification (necessary if you don’t have the relevant map tiles on your phone for whatever reason). So not yet back up to even Movescount standards in this regard.

                    Is that tap on the screen actually adding a coord location (to the route) or does SA pick the nearest point on that auto-generated route and enable name editing? The former would seem to have the simpler potential for discrete POIs but the latter seems to be more likely.

                    SA seems to deal exclusively in routes: apparently, a WP will have to be “decoupled” from … something (notional short route?) … to provide a POI. And then the rest of the notional route is invisibly deleted? Curious.

                        @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said that WP first, and then POI will come, as, as far as i remember, WP is at SuuntoDev side, the basis for the POI implementation.
                        I think (hope) that things will arrive with nice UI implementation (like touch, zoom, select on the screen, etc…) and after, maybe, more tech entry ways may be implemented (like coordinates).

                        For WP, you can plot the route and then add a WP where you see to want to put it, but you may also like to create a route, knowing the coordinate of the point you want to go (could we call it POI, before it becomes a WP 🙂 ? ).
                        in brief, to me, and just to me, i will see what will come and react on what won’t be manageable to request enhancements.

                          Sorry, what is an Assange ? without understanding, and with my english level, i am afraid to imagine the taste of something called Ass_ange 😰

                                @Mff73 Maybe having a new baby induces sympathetic leakage.

                                @Mff73 Assange = Julian Assange = Leakers ~= Me that breaks NDA

                                He’s now leaking about leaking, poor guy.

                                      1. Waypoint names displayed (not only types),
                                      2. Next waypoint name field that can be configured to be displayed on a training view (today only distance is avilable)
                                      3. Dedicated view (Ambit2/3 like) with next Waypoint name, distance and direction.

                                          @Andrzej-Dabrowa I had exactly the same asks so many times (in this forum under a different name and on Facebook).

                                          Suunto should copy Garmin’s way of customizing navigation. When navigation is enabled 1-3 additional screens can be added, and fields on those screens can be customized separately. For example I customized an additional navigation screen to display next waypoint name, distance to next waypoint, and ETE. The best part is that when not navigating on a route that screen is automatically hidden. That is a simple and elegant solution - better than Suunto’s approach of adding navigation specific fields on regular sport screens.
