@Sportsfreund when the release date for the run will be?
-
@GiPFELKiND Hm no clue why he think that this could be a Suunto.

In for a SV or a RaceS and watched Courtney’s Instagram today. It’s a recent post (4 days), not sure about the date the picture is taken
It’s written in the post description, Big’s Backyard 2020.

In for a SV or a RaceS and watched Courtney’s Instagram today. It’s a recent post (4 days), not sure about the date the picture is taken but the watch she has seems to have 3 round buttons on the side. I don’t see a Suunto in the line up that has that feature. Any guesses what this is here?
Here a zoomed-in section:

This must be a very very very old photo. The S/Lab shirt is very very very old and the Suunto watch has the ambasod strap, which had only 9Baro (I think).

@timecode yes, it has to be something like that. Old picture … but I was confused as she didn’t look that much younger on the picture
-
Is it possible to send a gpx file to the watch while it is recording an activity? Is it possible to navigate while recording an activity, then stop navigation and chose a different route and start navigation?
-
@szleslie yes to both scenarios.

More precisely, no need to stop and start. You can just load a different route while navigating.

@Squirrel Great news because I asked my “friend” Google Gemini about it. It said synchronisation is not possible between phone and watch while the watch is recording an activity. On my Garmin Epix gen 2 I recorded an activity which was a hike, loaded a previously synced route after the recording was started. When I arrived to my destination I created a new route in Osmand on my phone. Shared it to Garmin Connect then send this new route to the watch. I loaded it while the Epix was recoding the hike and followed the newly loaded route.
So It works the same way on Race s. I just want to be sure.
Thx your and Audaxjoe’s answer! -
@szleslie only caveat I’d say it you need wifi or data to plot a new route. So in remote areas planning a new route may not be possible.
I think packaged like kamoot you can download maps to your phone, but not sure about this. I do use Kamoot but have never needed to plot anything offline.

@Audaxjoe if on iOS you can use an app called Mapout, where you can download offline maps to your phone. With it you can easily “paint” routes with your finger and then share the GPX file with the Suunto app. Works completely offline. It’s 6 or 7 € if I remember correctly.
