Maps Partial Update Rollout, August 2024 [Limited Countries]

[Iggge]

@Mff73 Wow! This is exactly what I have been waiting for! Can’t wait to get this update! Thanks for the post

[Honza]

I just want to show my appreciation here. Even though I don’t live in any of the supported regions, I really appreciate this being rolled out slowly. I was almost giving up hope. Now I trust it will come to all/most maps reasonably soon. Thank you!

sound like a Tour du Mont Blanc i think!

@pavel-samokha Any updates on when we’ll see map updates for other regions? End of year still the goal? Thanks.

[pavel.samokha]

@duffman19 it’s on the table ofc, but I can’t promise when exactly update happens

Hello Vertical, Race, Ocean and Race S users

We will be rolling out Maps update for certain places:

• Spain (excl. Canary Islands)
• Finland
• Norway (excl. Svalbard)
• Switzerland (Updated 2024-08-22)
• Aosta Valley in Italy (Updated 2024-08-22)
• Rhone-Alpes in France (Updated 2024-08-22)

Release notes:

• Updated to the latest OpenStreetMap data
• Elevation contour lines available up to 2-5km zoom range (depends on the location)

Feedback on the update is appreciated. Update for all places will be later this year.

You may need to restart your watch to see updated maps in your area, as previous version may be cached in watch memory

Do you have any information on whether the zoom level on the maps is also increased on the Ocean? Currently only 2 KM? On the Vertical / Race it is 20 KM…

@Sascha-Domres Suunto Ocean will receive updates to outdoor features with the next firmware release

[Sascha Domres]

@pavel-samokha thank you…!

@pavel-samokha When is an update expected?

[pavel.samokha]

@Danny-poleg no idea

[pavel.samokha]

Maps for Sweden were just updated as well.
Unfortunately everything else will arrive later.

@pavel-samokha
Great with update to Sweden maps. Cant wait to hit the trails with new maps.

Can we see an example of what has been updated?

[pavel.samokha]

@Rayfox changes are the same as mentioned in this topic but for Sweden and December OSM data

Any estimations of when we can expect updates for Japan and New Zealand?

[GiPFELKiND]

@pavel-samokha any news for Germany, austria and the alps?! Until today Missing contour lines above 500m zoomlevel

[pavel.samokha]

@kirill-povarintsev @GiPFELKiND
Thanks for the nudge and sorry about delay with this - it will certainly come, but I can’t promise any date now unfortunately

[GiPFELKiND]

@pavel-samokha i cannot understand the priority from Suunto. Longer than 1 year all of US are waiting for contour lines in the Bavaria alps and tyrol … But hey suunto design a Christmas Watchface… Really?! How long to wait again? 2 years???

[ChrisA]

@GiPFELKiND it took me a few moments to get why all of the „United States“ would wait for contour lines in Bavaria - but I got it and you’re right. Are they there for other countries?

[Egika]

@GiPFELKiND why would you think that the watch face designers and map creators are the same people?
