Apologies, however 9 out of 34 POIs on my S9 are classified as “hunting”!

From experience I know that if you’ve been making a chain of POIs, and are maybe getting a bit stressed as the light fades, it helps to know what each one denotes.

But mainly I am annoyed that Suunto removed the Record function that is on their older watches. I knew about it before buying the S9 so I suppose I can’t really complain; even so Suunto’s decision still seems crass.

I think you are talking about a different record function than I do, right?
Because I can see breadcrumbs and I can find back… or is it different what you are missing?

@david-young I would not rely on a watch for this and I don’t! Second, there is a find back feature that is similar to the track back on prior watches. Third, you can load a route if it is in your phone offline into the watch and follow the route back. There are options, some I believe better and some worse than the Ambit solutions.

Perhaps next time you could phrase your issue with a question on how to do this rather than berate a company and the individuals working for it, which you obviously know nothing about. I think your post is inappropriately rude.

@freeheeler The Traverse’s Record function is diiferent in that the trail is saved to memory and can be retrieved and used as a route at any time.

The S9’s Breadcrumb exists only while the exercise within which it was generated is active. End the exercise and the Breadcrumb is gone.

…and then you sync to SA, go to the activity and save it as a route, toggle use in the watch and sync back and you can navigate as usual.

In over four years of Traverse use I never once used track back, since I always make a POI for where my car/tent is anyway.

As I said earlier, I did know before buying the S9 that the record function was missing and I have considered all the workarounds.

I would like Suunto to consider restoring it, also can we have some user-defined POI types please.

you can always ask and wish. some wishes come true, some don’t.

I am following him : he requested badly, something he never used, he perfectly knows how to make it differently with a watch he bought in total knowledge.

Thank you, that’s the answer.

I followed the whole process of recording and synching a hike using Bluetooth only and it worked. I have a route on the watch.

You seem to be pretty well informed about the way hunting works
