@maszop said in New SMART barometric algorithm: Garmin Fenix ​​8, in identical conditions, indicated 1,600 meters, which is already acceptable accuracy. Higher end Garmin watches use in-watch elevation database to cross-reference barometric altitude. I think that is called DEM - digital elevation model.

@Tieutieu said in Climb guidance 2.0 issue - not all zoom levels are available at the end of the route (see picture): @sky-runner the only missing thing ihmo is this extra zoom level when there is waypoints . In other cases climb guidance is perfect No, it is not perfect when doing a really long distance with a lot of waypoints, and that is what the above report is about. The zooming doesn’t work correctly when at the end of the route as it may not be possible to zoom in to the desired zoom level. Imagine that you run a 100 km race and let’s say there is an aid station at 5 km before the finish and another aid station at 10 km before the finish. And let’s say there are waypoints for all aid stations. And let’s say you are just past the second from the end aid station, so basically you have 10 km to go and one more waypoint before the finish. Please see the picture at the top of the post for the illustration of what I am trying to explain. At that point it is possible to see the entire profile for the entire 100km, but the elevation profile is so compressed horizontally that it is unusable. Also it is possible to zoom just at the 2nd from the end segment of the profile - from 10km before the finish to 5km before the finish. That is good. But it is impossible to zoom into the segment that shows the last 10 km - from 10km before the finish to the finish. Instead it goes straight into the entire 100km profile. That’s what the above report is about. A similar zoom level is available at the beginning of the route but not at the end. The logic is flawed!

@Bigb0zz what do you mean? In my case nap never worked. But often I do short sleep after lunch.

@shamilt1 I think the GPS tracks will become better once the watch has ‘settled’ around your preferred run area. At least that’s what I see. The first one, two were good but after that spot on. The distance in my runs has stayed same. Meaning the shorter meters do not increase as the length increases. Enjoy your watch and may it serve you well.

I wanted to try the route planner and found a bug that makes planning impossible. In the “Outdoor” map view, forest and dirt roads are displayed as regular roads. Only after zooming out to a certain level do they appear correctly as dashed green lines. However, at that zoom level not all paths are displayed anymore. The dark map mode works exactly the opposite way. Even at the highest zoom level, forest and dirt roads are displayed correctly as dashed lines, but from the same zoom-out level they start to be drawn as regular roads.

@OutdoorMan A similar issue has been reported on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Suunto/comments/1rnesu9/froze_mid_run/

@DrSilverthorn said in Course planner feature suggestion: @sky-runner this could work. Maybe the degree to which you prefer one solution vs another is tied to how obsessively you’re watching the info I think I’d prefer the configurability of a data field option, which would probably involve fewer button presses If there was a dedicated waypoint data screen and I could customize it, I’d definitely use that. But in general I don’t like Suunto’s approach of mixing navigation specific data fields with other data fields on regular data screens. I don’t like having unused data fields when navigation isn’t used. I also don’t like an idea of having a special sport customization just for the case when I use navigation. In my opinion, navigation specific data should only be visible when I use navigation and otherwise be hidden. Garmin solved that by allowing users to customize navigation specific data screens that only show up during navigation. My eyesight isn’t that great anymore so I don’t like having a lot of data fields on each data screen (4 or 5 at max), which means with only 3 data screens I can’t even afford to waste some of the space for navigation specific data fields like distance to next waypoint or ETA. I used that in the past with Suunto 9, but would definitely prefer a cleaner solution. When I used Garmin. I always enabled the “Up Next” feature, which is a dedicated data screen that shows up to 4 upcoming waypoints with their names, symbols, and remaining distances to them.

@Tami999 thank you for the tip !

Trying to see if the bug is related to Vertical 2 only, I used my Vertical Solar yesterday and the same bug occurred (all external sensors were connected and the activity was active - no pause). This time the Suunto App managed to send logs - 06.03.2026 at 15:08 CET. Interestingly the Vertical 2 - during the same exercise - recorded the external HR without an issue. Both were connected concurrently to Polar H10 and Vertical Solar in addition also to a bike power meter. @isazi @brad_olwin - could you please open a ticket for this bug with Suunto (if it hasn’t been reported already).

@SergioB yes you’re right, it’s there (quite small). But I can swear I didn’t see it the first time.

Hey everyone! Glad to announce that Live Groups is finally in the early preview stage, and you can try it out right now. You don’t even need the latest version to get started. Group setup can be done entirely through the web interface. Here is all you need to do: Connect your Suunto account in the app. Confirm your email via your web profile (don’t worry, I won’t send any spam). Create a group and manually add your partners. You can also invite people via an invite link, but that’s currently only available in the TestFlight version. You able to add to group any user with linked Suunto account The link to watch the group live will look like this: live.athletica.one/live/+group-name I’ve recorded a short walkthrough video to show how it all works: https://drive.proton.me/urls/8RA2GZJHFC#3SfMbzrSV8sR And quick demo how it looks for spectators: https://drive.proton.me/urls/0NXMP4BV1R#zxaE0CLPdcwh Since this feature is in early access, I would be REALLY grateful for any feedback! Let me know how it works for you or your club.

@Zdeněk-Hruška Thanks for the information, I sold my race 2, just before the last update from Stryd. I tested some other watches, Polar , Apple WU3 and I think I Will be going back to Suunto V2. So I hope it will work normal again

I’d like to take this opportunity to ask a question: do these alerts sound on yours? Mine only gets a faint vibration (it would be nice if it also notified you when you leave Zonesense zones).

@herlas Thanks a lot for your hint. Found and happy now. Have a good weekend

Bonjour je vous rassure c 'est toujours le cas sur la run en mars 2026

@Adrian.S agree on treadmill elavation gain, would be nice if one could edit it on the watch after the run, like distance but at least we have elevation gain in the app now for treadmill, so step by step.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Possibly. I haven’t used the Garmin 840 in a long time, so maybe this feature is available in more expensive models or has been introduced in an update.
