    So, what are you going to do after Movescount closes?

      @andrasveres Yes, that full syncing capability is just what I have been asking for in feature request (linked below). My understanding is that they have chosen to strip this away from ambit3 to create bigger gap between a3p and Suunto 9, to differentiate. Because if you put features side by side, it could be pretty tough to defend the price difference between those two watches. So A3P is now little less connected than it used to be. They basically downgraded it almost to Ambit2.

      Middle ground could be letting Ambit users use Suunto app even for routes, because they are not properly maintaining this feature in Movescount web for almost a year now and I really doubt this will suddenly be changed at some point. On the other hand, Suunto app is being actively developed and is getting better. Plotaroute would be a decent replacement for route creator in Movescount, probably even better one than Movescount. So why not? Keep things simple and let people enjoy even these watches they now call “legacy watches” (that one I will never understand).

        @Prenj that is not correct. its not stripped to create a bigger gap.

        Actually if you are on iOS we can pm.

        I have multiple times asked in this forum (not you) to not jump into assumptions.

          OK, that was just my understanding how thing are going. I would be really happy to see some progress in Suunto app for A3P although I’m not actively using my a3p anymore mostly because of all the shortcomings.

            As Romain said in the video about suunto transition, the strategy of suunto is to:
            Invest in the “platform” instead of new watch every 6 months
            Focus on doing good instead of doing everything

            So maybe we will have surprises.
            But for sure there must be priorities, I believe first having best experience for current products, develop new ones and maybe for last to support older ones.
            I believe it is normal.
            Let’s see, a lot has changed since the initial statement, so…

              Very mysterious. Could be about technical barrier or a pleasant surprise. 🤔

                      this survey should not be there. MC is closing in a few weeks.

                        @André-Faria Thanks for that.

                        I wonder what “Routes still available” means. And what, if any, future for POIs.

                        Was there detail “below”?

                            @Prenj Yes, you’re right, I must have been looking at an imported route. There is no elevation data for a route created in Movescount.

                            I’ve always been impressed by the accuracy with which my Traverse tracks Movescount routes on the ground. But if they’re not maintaining it then maybe it’s time to move onto an alternative route creator.

                              what in “routes still available” is so difficult to understand?

                                @Egika It can mean:

                                1. A map on which to create & view routes
                                2. An account library of prior MC-created/imported/move-conversion routes
                                3. A simple function to transfer imported routes to the watch

                                No. 3 seems the minimum to fit the statement

                                Not necessarily No.2. And No.1 has been hobbled for some time.

                                  Hello,

                                  Does anybody know if Suunto custom apps data is now synced into Suunto app for Ambit/Traverse watches ?

                                  Thanks.

                                    I would hazard a guess and say no, why: I gave my A3PS to a good friend and he uses it as I set it up (with Ambit apps) and none of the values recorded are available in SA.

                                      Thanks for your feedback TELE-HO!
                                      I knew it wasn’t supported few month ago but I 've been hoping SA would be improved to support it since MC shutdown is now scheduled on February 9 2021. I’m sad to lose those data

                                        I am not sure if this will be left out in SA integration but I doubt it. Ambit apps where MC and Ambit specific. I think (?!) it’s still possible to set them up in “what’s left of MC” in a few days. Since it’s not possible to set them up with SA it might me a feature that is going to be obsolete some time in the future

                                          I also hope it would still be possible to set up the apps in MC but I’m interested in the data of those apps. It’s currently only supported through moveslink2 <-> mouvescount.com.
                                          SuuntoLink doesn’t transfer suunto apps logs and nothing seems to be planed to support it.

                                            I assume this is the way Suunto wants users to upgrade.
                                            I know the watches aren’t inexpensive by far! I did the step while I was bored sitting at home recovering from getting a bunch of screws in my elbow… I accounted it as entertainment expens back then and I do not regret it.
                                            While I enjoy the newer Suunto watches, I absolutely understand everyone who would like to stick to their older models. I also think it is a question of how green a company wants to be… it is definitely also a waste of resources if you replace a 2-3 year old watch that would actually work easily another 2-3 years.
                                            Just to mention, my wife upgraded to S7 recently as she wanted a swimming mode and a reliable OHR. I did the S9B upgrad 1.5 years ago. We both gave our Ambits to good friends/relatives for a second life and we would much appreciate if their Suunto experience is that great, that they might buy Suunto again one day, rather than buying any other brand because of disappointments now… ✊
