@PhilBee said in new Vertical 2 - auto vs manual laps:
And then when you see the resultant run auto-synched to Strava, there is ONLY manual laps and no auto laps … BOO, because they’re not in the FIT data synched I guess (they’re certainly not in the FIT export) - so the Strava display is rather odd - unlike the Coros equivalent which appears as you would expect, with a mixture of auto and manual laps
With Suunto there are two overlapping lap schemas happening. One are the automatic laps and another are manual or Guide created ones. Thoses do not interfere with each other.
FIT file format as such is developed by Garmin what does not know this concept. If you press the lap button, the next auto lap will be 1km after this (if set to 1km laps). Most likely Strava uses one or the other, not both.
Best you can see this, if you export the workout as FIT file in the Suunto App and use a tool like fitfileviewer.com to look into the content.
