Serious navigation concerns when POI’s are not showing

inkognito

I also tried hard reset and it didn’t help. I have ~ 50 POIs…

It seems that the issue is position/distance/altitude sensitive… I have tried to test it with more than 50 POIs so far… My observations:

The issue doesn’t seem to be sensitive to POI types
I cannot see any POI closer than ~ 10 km to my location
I cannot see any POIs with bigger lattitude than my location (tested this on northern hemisphere)… so, anything more to the north won’t show up…

Nice observations
Do you see all older POI’s when zooming out?
Sorry, you already mentioned that you don’t see all above, but about how many are displayed on the watch?

@peringmar I am not sure how many were displayed. Looked like ~ 15+.

Now I toggled “Use in watch” off for all my POIs and then added some of them again. Now everything seems to be alright - I can see POIs close to me again. Currently I have 10 POIs only and it works…

So, it seems like the Spartans and S9 are only capable of displaying limited amount of POIs in the navigation screen. The question is how are these chosen. When I had 50 POIs, it didn’t show those close to me but seeemed to prefer distant ones… So, perhaps its based on lattitude in ascending order?

Also the max number of local displayable at what radius …

@inkognito I will see if the same applies for my watch. Kind of a bummer if we are limited to the amount of POI’s displayed. As limited as the navigation screen already is, I tried to make a coastline etc. with a lot of POI’s but they never got displayed.

@peringmar Now it seems like my lattitude hypothesis might have been just a funny coincidence But, I have now tested a row of POIs and once I add more than ~ 15, some “old” start to disappear. But, the rule definitely doesn’t seem to be that purely the oldest disappear first, because we weren’t able to see the new added POIs that were close to our location when all this investigation started

I think the watch shows the 16 closest pois

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos That contradicts our previous observations. The watch preferred old POIs that were more than ~10 km away to those that were very close and added recently. If it always showed 16 POIs closest to my actual location, it would be perfect Unfortunatelly, it doesn’t always seem to be the case…

@inkognito Is this issue has been solved?
I recenlty ran outside several times but don’t remember seeing any POIs on the route navigation screen.

@soojong-moon Honestly, I don’t know. Since I’ve learned that watch is supposed to show 16 closest POIs (or 16 whichever POIs), I always tried to keep the amount lower than 16. So when I move to the location where I need new POIs, I delete the “old ones” from my watch. I am for sure limited by this relatively low number, but at least my watch seems to be predictable now and all my POIs are shown correctly.

I can test larger amount in different location during the weekend though
