Hi, @VoiGAS @Artus-Diver
This is what I get from Joaquin’s video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSkJvrj_vqA

It literally says:

• Improvements to the new swim algorithm

[herlas]

@suzzlo let’s not get confused here, there’s not a new swim algorithm this time around, it should be fixes to the new swimming algorithm that got intruduced last time.

[suzzlo]

@herlas sorry, you are right… changing my comment

[Artus Diver]

@suzzlo
I was guided by the previous description, but yes, you are right, there are more improvements including the swimming algorithm.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

Bonkers, I still don’t have it. Anyone got links?

[MarkNL]

The bug regarding the missing accent color in the default watch face of the Race S, introduced in the Q1 update, unfortunately still persists after this Q2 update.

[Pavlas]

So now the maps look absolutely terrible. Especially the dashed road markings. I hope it’s a mistake.

[GiPFELKiND]

@Pavlas i cannot find extra data fields to personally Sportmode Like gpx Status, or battery … No new data fields like in the description!!!

[SergioB]

Question: will the GNSS optimization be performed also with the Suunto App? I rarely have access to the wifi, so I won’t be able to update it frequently

[herlas]

@GiPFELKiND that’s all under other :

[GiPFELKiND]

@herlas i dont have this other…

[larrybbaker]

@Pavlas I’m not seeing that?

[GiPFELKiND]

@larrybbaker i dont see this, too. No new data fields.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@GiPFELKiND maybe it’s Suunto App version issue?

[GiPFELKiND]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel in android my beta app is at the newest one. No update there.

[larrybbaker]

@GiPFELKiND I was referring to the map issue

[Pavlas]

@larrybbaker Try zooming 100, 50 or 25 meters.

[GiPFELKiND]

@larrybbaker do you all have the new data fields options!? I dont have “others” with GPX signal or Battery level and weather and wind forecast.

[herlas]

@GiPFELKiND just make sure app syncs once, if not kill it and it should be there.
