S9P software update 2.18.18 questions

Efejota

@kramble I think that it fixes problems with hills repetitions. In long uphill / downhill distances, calculations were OK, but users reported underestimation for small hills activities, if I am not mistaken.

Kramble

@efejota I think what you’re talking about is the “new ascent descent algorithm”…

isazi

@kramble so in addition to improved ascent and descent calculation, current altitude is updated “faster”. Result in less lag from reaching a point to have the altimeter catch up.

guenthi

@isazi Does this concern barometric or GPS-based altitude, or both, or FusedAlti? I’m still a bit confused how the displayed altitude during an activity is actually determined…

isazi

@guenthi in this case the improvement is on the barometric side.

Kramble

@isazi Great ! Thanks

I really want this new algo for the S9B!! Come on Suunto, you can do it!!

i want it as well for my spartan, including fusedalti along the activity and not just at start.

Efejota

@isazi thanks, I obviously mistake both questions. I did not notice this one.

Kramble

Has anyone tested the new asent algorithm with poles ?

Brad_Olwin

@kramble Yes, it seems fine for me, no issues with poles.
