      Nope, you cannot create a POI outside the route. Try it.

        @djibarian waypoint you mean? I just told you how. Do a free drawing to that peak and then long hold to add a waypoint.

        If you don’t want to pass from the peak as of routing then no need todo it at the route planner. Add a poi at that peak. When in the activity, you can navigate to that poi via the navigation menu

              @djibarian go to the map. Tap on the peak -> create POI -> name etc -> press add to watch.

              Make sure you are on version 4.33.x (x is any number)

              (do the above outside the route creation)

                @sartoric I’m talking about both trackpoints and waypoints (or POIs)

                    @djibarian at the same map you should be able to see also the pois you created with the watch.

                    The same applies when you are using the route planner. So the pois are marked and you can create a waypoint at a route

                      I see you see the POIs in the route planner, but still you have to create the waypoints manually.

                      Anyway that’s not a problem. The only problem I see now is to be able to export the POIs, whether all of them together, or being able to select some of them in the POIs tab, and export them as GPX.

                      Do you think is feasible to expect that option to be in a next release?

                        Unfortunately and coming back to some previous comment afaik this was never possible with movescount etc.

                        I guess it’s technically correct. Just that bluntly copy-pasting data of few hundred POIs from Movescount.com in batches of 10, formatting as CSV and converting that list into GPX of POIs for using with other devices and mapping tools takes more determination than skill and something like 5 to 15 minutes from average user. That part of Movescount is also quite scraper-friendly.

                          @margusl On the third hand, bulk export can be built-in. The ViewRanger app will export all visible (or total saved) tracks, routes (with named WPs) and POIs from the planning/review screen to a single GPX file.

                          (Of course, VR doesn’t do much with health metrics. Or talk directly to anything other than its companion WearOS app.)

                          Still a worthwhile standard to target, though. Unless Suunto wants to get away from GPX entirely ASAP. Which might be tricky as FITs don’t appear to be anything like as common as a route import format.

                            Can’t promise on the behalf of the company, but we’ll probably add POIs import/export in the future

                              Is there already a feature request? If not, let’s create one and vote. I honestly don’t use POIs, but also until 12 months ago was not using routes on the watch either. I am still a paper map fan! Anyway, I would vote for the possibility to export/import POIs from/to the app.

                                  I find suunto poi an excellent feature, even when navigating in city. I hardly use or nearly never use Google maps nowadays. I just create poi using suunto app and then sync to watch and then navigate to poi. Always work like charm!

                                    @djibarian for sure I am not the one to decide or tell when and how.

                                    What I can do, is present to the Suunto app Product Owner the feature request of exporting the POIS based on the demand here, he can then prioritize the request and make it so that it gets out for both Android +iOS + Backend systems.

                                    Even if the work would be “small” (at least how I see it) that doesn’t mean it comes first / quick .

                                    So please people do a feature request and vote
