      @prenj maps can be usable if they are like the s7 + heatmaps.

      Zoom with pinch etc.

      I’ve used it quite a bit in the forrest near me when trying to explore trails I haven’t tried before. It’s a nice and simple way of figuring out if I’m still on said trail as most of them are on the map.

                    For hiking in the mountains I’d still prefer paper map in most cases to get an overview. Of course I wouldn’t object to having them in the watch 😀

                      Map and compass should be considered essential regardless of the watches capabilities (depending on how well you know the area obviously).

                        I think we should avoid 9 in German right?

                        “Would you suggest my a Suunto watch?”
                        “9”
                        “Why don’t you?”

                                    @dimitrios-kanellopoulos I guess it’s hard to have new fresh ideas after some time, and 100 episodes is quite a bit.

                                      To my understanding it’s ok if the next s9 does not have maps. It’s the next S9 not an S11 or S13 or S7. When the time comes we can ask the same question.

                                      I do use GPX tracks and SA App to build a route for S9 navigation very often, which is perfect for me.
                                      If there are questions about maps sometimes, I always prefer my phone with bigger screen.
                                      Which is in reach within 1 second in my trail vest…
                                      So I think I would not use maps on watch…

                                        As you can see in this video, the map feature is not planned for the next version of the S9…

                                        I am very surprised to learn this because it is a feature I expected in the next S9. Am I alone?

                                        I would rather prefer suunto to focus on “essential” (for me) things like sensors support, training load, structured workout than maps. And even on size, weight, confort.
                                        As others said, on the fenix, it is not that awesome. Cool to have, but honestly, for me breadcrumb on the watch and good maps on phone/bike gps.

                                          I would prefer to have maps in my new watch. Main reason I bouth the current one was to be able to navigate with an active gps all the time without worrying about battery llife. I new from the start s9 could only do breadcrumb, but I didn’t like fenix 5+ at the time. I like how navigation works apart from the times there are multiple turns available - there the breadcrumb often fails as gps positioning in a forest or in a mountain valley isn’t always perfect which makes me guess and ofter go back from the false turn.
                                          I’m not going to change the watch until I have to, but I hope by then there will be a map enabled suunto watch on the market with a decent battery life (ie not android wear).

                                            Would it be possible to have activity data synced to Suunto app during activity? I think it would be much more useful to have map on a bigger screen (offline available) with all the data from your watch (breadcrumb on the map, route, POI-s and all the stats).

                                            I’d rather check the map on a phone screen than on my watch. Basic route, as we now have it on the watch is enough for me to quick glance that I’m on the right track, but if I want to see the bigger picture, I’d reach for the paper map in my case. But it would be pretty cool to utilize the larger phone screen for this. Even manual sync only when opening Suunto app would do.

                                            We did have a “second screen” feature in Movescount app, but it didn’t use the whole phone screen.

                                            I don’t know if any competitor have a similar feature but I’d find this highly valuable. What do you say?
