bought a product from Suunto that suppose to have altitude data when navigating

If your imported route came from 3rd party or you draw it yourself with some other tool, it likely includes elevation data. Even though Movescount fails to display elevation profile, it shoukd be fine once loaded to your watch. Though I haven’t tested with longer routes that Movescount must simplify to fit into trackpoint limits.

As to who’s to (not) blame here… for those who were interested, retiring of a certain Mapbox API for elevation data was known atleast 2 years in advance. Some decided to act proactively, others had probably more pressing matters to deal with during that time. Or something.

Why so hard to get a route from SA into the watch?

that’s this recently discussed cache issue either in the watch or SA, I’m not sure… (sorry for being offtopic here).
I create a comoletely new route, completely new name, toggle add to watch, sync and when I want to use this route it shows me any random earlier created route… did that 4 times, 4 different random earlier routes. The data is always correct, but the route track is wrong… only the 5th attempt finally worked

So is there anyway to upload a route to the Ambit 3 now via the new(ish) app or magic?

You can keep using movescount for that

@sartoric Hi your link states

“Currently you cannot synchronize routes or custom sport modes with Suunto app for Ambit3,”

so not much help but thanks for trying.

I can get on to Movescount and update my routes there, but how can I get them to the watch now Moveslink is disabled and the new app doesn’t support this?

I appreciate I might be being really stupid here but the support in this regard is hopeless

With Suuntolink

@mff73 How do I get suuntolink to transfer routes from movescount? Suuntolink just transfers between my watch and the new App when I connect to that, it isnt transferring the routes I updated on the movescount website

@georgex here you can find pretty straightforward instructions.

You need just a couple of click to go to the page suggested by @andrasveres

@georgex
Exactly what @andrasveres links to you.
Suuntolink should do exactly what you think it didn’t : sync activity from watch to Suunto app cloud + sync your legacy watch settings and routes and POIs from MC Web to your watch.
Sure it is not that simple, but it is like that.
