2.14.12 is here
-
@zhang965 thanks a lot
-
I’m supposed to have a rest day tomorrow…but there’s something so tempting about new firmware
-
@olivier-cornelissen I’m not convinced that Suunto is ever going to produce a great firmware update. This one is so lackluster at this point.
-
@prenj Ya I feel like the POIs operated identically before? I didn’t test them thoroughly. But nothing seems to have changed there that I’ve noticed

@sartoric said in 2.14.12 is here:
I wonder if komoot navigation will work on Spartan … that would mean that something has been fixed or worked around
I wouldn’t really call it “Komoot Navigation” but it is Komoot integration with SA (to upload routes) AND Komoot had the ability to generate routes with automatic WP at each identified turn (and related WP naming).
So, it will work with Spartan (not tested as I don’t have komoot) like any other routes with WP : with no naming shown during navigation
Just tested now, and I can do the exact same with Locus Map routing, exporting my route into Gpx with WP and turn-by-turn instructions inside (just WP with naming) and import it with QS or Runalyze to SA.Komoot integration is good and easy to use, but not any real evolution of Suunto watch capacities , and really nothing usefull if WP naming is a not shown on watch.
Marketing has done their job, with marketing description of the reality.
Here is route in SA imported from QS, created WP with Locus.

@дима-мельниченко Sorry, I wanted to post a general remark. It was only by accident that I replied directly to you
-
@zrumlow Don’t forget that the watch has also really nice things (battery life, nice watchfaces, suuntoplus features like weather and Safe I really like when multiple day hiking. Only remark is that you can’t use both of them, but as such, Safe is only to be used in exceptional cases ;-))
As my watch is still working fine, I am going to be optimistic and hope for more convincing releases in the future. Of course, the needs in a watch also depends on the environment were you live in / sport in. And unfortunately I am not living in an outdoor country like Finland. So if I ever need a new watch, I’ll rethink to see what is important.

Just like the previous version, I am unable to complete the update of my S9Baro using an up to date SuuntoLink on Win10 Pro 64bit - SuuntoLink says the watch was disconnected, and the update fails. S9 is bricked.
The last time around I had to depend on @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos’ help for downloading the FW and manually drag&dropping it on SuuntoLink, which worked. It is now obvious that this approach is not sustainable, and is a more serious bug. I am surprised though that there are not more reports of this!? It doesn’t make sense that just my unit be affected, does it?
-
@radu-negoescu I have only had your kind of issues running a virtual machine.
Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti
Blog: isazi's home
-
@isazi this is not a virtual machine. and the fact that drag&drop install works but suuntolink normal install doesn’t points to an issue not related to my setup, as far as I can understand it at least …
-
@radu-negoescu Maybe someone from Suunto who knows the firmware update process can tell what the difference is between a “normal” update and the drag&drop method?
To me it makes no sense why the first one fails altough the firmware seems to download correctly because the update started and the second one succeeds.
-
@radu-negoescu even if @j-dominguez case was a bit different, I have a feeling that maybe there is a relation between the two cases: can’t download firmware file vs. corrupted download?!
-
@radu-negoescu In other posts that people have commented this issue it was related to a faulty cable, could be the case?
The other people could charge the watch without problems but when was related to updates then they have this issue. -
@cosmecosta I’d be surprised if it was the cable. It is the same one that works for the “manual FW update”
-
@andrasveres this might actually make sense. if only there was a way to capture the automatic download? where is it hiding?
-
@radu-negoescu not sure about that, but it might be in %appdata%\Suuntolink folder as most of the files are stored there.
-
@andrasveres nope, first place I looked, no recent files matching
-
@radu-negoescu then I have no clue. You are looking into Roaming and not the Local folder under AppData, right?
-

I do not know but maybe using the automatic update it make some checkings that fail due the cable…if you can access one easily I think it worth to try.
I don’t think its an issue with the watch, like corrupted firmware, because you do not have problems with the watch between updates. For what you tell us the issue is only when updating, so can only be cable/suuntolink/computer permissions. I would discard computer permissions because the update wouldn’t start, at least this is my experience with my work laptop connected to my work network.
BTW I have updated mine using WIN10 PRO 64 bit as you are trying
-
@andrasveres I wasn’t
What do you guys have?
