@Nikolai-Simonov thx for the live Location App. Great Feature. One of the few i missed from my garmin. I could only test shortly the Connection. A run or bike activity will follow.

Keep up the Great work

A little update announcement:

This morning we rolled out an update (1.0.9) for those using the app via TestFlight or who downloaded the APK (you need to download the new one) directly.

In this update, we’re testing email sending functionality.
You’ll find a new section under:

Settings → Emergency Contact → Email Settings

it will be available in play and app store later

Very good functionality !
Idea: add up to 5 email contacts instead of just one

Thank you for your hard work to put this to work.

I was thinking to switch to Garmin watches because of livetrack functionality, but now I don’t think to change

Finally I can share my activities to my loved ones when I go alone on the trails

@Nelson-Adão a 1 on 1 example how Suunto should keep up with Garmin on such things.

@Nelson-Adão I still don’t get it.
There are dedicated apps for this on phones alone.

Have not seen a side by side comparison of those regarding phone battery…

Nikolai Simonov

@Nelson-Adão Thanx so much for warm words! feedback like this is incredibly motivating!

So, I hope Suunto will thank me someday for saving a loyal user!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Here’s a little developer diary update:
I’m currently working on track loading and display on the built-in map. You’ll be able to upload tracks from GPX/KML files.

Once a workout starts, the current track will be drawn on the map, and the app will show deviation from the preloaded route, projecting your position onto it.

In the future, this feature will also include:

Alerts when significantly off-route,
Customizable checkpoints and geofences with notifications if you don’t reach them in time,
And many other improvements!

Here’s a short preview of the new feature in action:

@Nikolai-Simonov I have a question. If we turn on the Live T function with the watch only, without carrying a mobile phone, will it work?

Egika

@SODIUM no

SODIUM

@Egika OK thank you.

Great work @Nikolai-Simonov

This reduces the need of opening Komoot when get lost while navigating along a route quite a lot.
I can simply have a look at the map in your app and don’t need to waste battery for geolocation on the phone.
I often ended up on 2 or 3-way forks not nowing wich one to choose on the 9PP cause there are no maps.
