Maps Partial Update Rollout, August 2024 [Limited Countries]
-
@Likarnik Well, Suunto apparently employs more developers for graphic gadgets than those who could deal with maps, navigation and other more important matters. Which is clearly visible with each update and the number of problems.
-
@sorinus What is this thread about? Missing contour lines, no map updates.
In addition, there is the way navigation messages are displayed that has not been fixed for many years. There is still no better use of the map screen, now there is only the distance to the end of the route. There is still no good management of Waypoints during activities and much more. -

@GiPFELKiND why would you think that the watch face designers and map creators are the same people?
DID i think that?
I only sayed that the priority from Suunto is very strange… No Word about the “same” people 
-
@Egika wow if that is the only use for your Maps… You dont need a adventure watch for this

To quote yourself: “DID I write that?”

@pavel-samokha I’m stealing this immediately LOLOL

@maszop I find the waypoint management very good, and the distance on the map is to the next waypoint and shows what that waypoint is. Not necessarily to the end.
My Vertical guided me 2500km across ten countries this year, I thought the maps and waypoints were excellent
-
@Audaxjoe Well, for me it is very unfortunate that SV still doesn’t allow you to see the name of the next waypoint whenever you want. It only appears in two pop-ups—after reaching the previous waypoint and 100 meters before the actual one. My old S9 displayed the waypoint name at the top of the navigation options menu at all times (together with ETE etc), which I found really useful.
-
@inkognito yes I have to agree that names of waypoints would help.
I love the fact the map now shows an icon of what the next waypoint is. So I know if it is a cafe, control etc. But the name would be good.

I’m a little bummed we haven’t seen any meaningful map updates in a long while. It’s been well over a year for my region. Looks like the UTMB area and a few European countries were the only ones who got any love last year. I was really hoping for something like biannual updates.
I know it’s been asked many times, but is there any news it regards to this? Maybe bigger changes are in the works?

Im also interested in the status of the map updates.
-
Me too. When will we get the contour lines at more than 200m in the Balkans?

Hello @pavel.samokha,
I’ve noticed you’ve unpinned this thread after the recent posts.
Do you think you could provide some information on the matter of the map updates that were planned for last year?Thank you

Hi @pavel.samokha ,
Is there a way to find out the creation or last update date of any country?
I contribute to OpenStreetMap (OSM) and I have a Suunto Vertical with offline maps. I would like to know how old the offline maps are (especially for Slovakia and surrounding countries) and when I can expect my edits to OSM to appear on my watch.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
