uncomplete track during activity

@Mff73 ahem, I misread the post and was thinking about something else

I am sure they know what they are doing. And I believe that it is not simple. That is where the idea comes from to offer an explicit track back option if this is may be easier to implement.

And I think it‘s OK to express that it is not the best situation that vertical is on the market since 05/23 and the option is still missing. That‘s how I see it and I am not alone with that.

But you are right, the facts are known, and we can just wait and see or look for different solutions or whatever. If they are working on it and they will find a solution for that, this would be the best case.

@ortles sure, sorry I was thinking about something else!!!

@Brad_Olwin according to the previous post, it seems that the recording in Suunto App is not impacted ? The whole trace is visible in Suunto App. That’s right?

@Antoine yes, it is only in the map screen on the watch during activity. The full track is recorded and available in the app.

if i dare to make an ironic post, you are right : when your life is dependant on the watch breadcrumb display, there might be an issue, but when safely back home, you will follow your track on your sofa 🥳
Hey, guys, it is for putting a small tone of humour there

I am not happy with this issue either! I use this while ski touring extensively and depend on it. But, I cannot fix it and ranting won’t fix it. My solution now is to plot a route and load the route.

@Brad_Olwin
i always upload the route for all of my hiking activities but this route is only for reference and cannot fully rely on it.

The actual route that i taken and the one i uploaded can be very different because there are landslide, fallen trees, fallen bamboo, overgrown vegetation etc blocking the path and i need to detour/avoid it by bushwhacking to open the new route. So when i going back to trailhead i need to refer back to my own breadcrumb (redline) instead of blueline.

@babychai I totally understand and am with you. Here is hoping the restoring of the feature lays groundwork for something new. I am hoping for elevation profiling but don’t know it that will happen.

@Brad_Olwin humor on lets have a closer look how many people get lost because suunto didnt fix this issue humor off

I was faced with a junction in ski tour tracks, had to use my memory to pick the correct one…I was lucky:)

invite a split boarder in your group… don’t rely on luck

Ha, ha, ha, rumors say it‘s even possible to sleep and to leave your home without a gps watch on. But I‘m not sure about it.

The main function of a gps watch to me is to provide some extra comfort under good conditions and some extra margin of safety, when conditions are bad. I think we all agree on that.

@ortles
but bear in mind, an activity that has not been recorded is as if it has never happened

@freeheeler we welcome skiers on spatulas,

I tested the SR in alpine skiing, the watch is too sensitive for the count of descents which is greatly multiplied and the CO2 indication is wrong.

@fifi13013 the number and duration of runs is not perfect, it has been reported and I hope it’ll be improved in the future. I am not sure what are you referring at with CO2.

This is the oxygen value in the “weather” application, it tells me that 75% at 2300 meters. No problem for the altimeter compared to the city. I deactivated the map, it is of no use on the ski slopes,

@fifi13013
I am relatively confused now…

You can find this info in the description of Weather - Insight SuuntoPlus app:

Oxygen level
“If you are above 2000 m (6 561 ft) you will get a reading on the oxygen % compared to sea level.”

Suunto does not show the actual absolute percentage of oxygen in the air! That would be of no use for most people who do not remember the absolute value at sea level. The relative value that Suunto shows tells you how much oxygen is there compared to “normal” sea-level air…

To check the values, you can quickly calculate the relative percentage from any reference altitude to oxygen chart. I used this one: https://hypoxico.com/pages/altitude-to-oxygen-chart

It shows:
~ 20.9% of oxygen in the air at 0 m altitude (this is 100% by definition)
~ 16 % of oxygen in the air at 2134 m altitude (this is 76.6% of sea-level value)
~ 15.4 % of oxygen in the air at 2438 m altitude (this is 73.7% of sea-level value)

Therefore I do not see anything wrong about 75% at 2300 m.
