Sadly the updated maps for Italy still contain wrong data for the Dolomites area (Trentino-Alto Adige), which makes them nearly useless for that part of the Alps … what a pity!
The data is OSM data. Maybe you can help make them better

I wrote several times to all the contacts I found, but never get an answer. The problem is that the wrong data is widely diffused on the Dolomites area, not just localized wrong details. All the region needs to be rebuilt from a correct source.
-
@Stefano-M64 he meant you have to have a look at the source (OSM) and if it is wrong there, you can correct it there yourself.

I understood, but - as I wrote - there are massive elevation data errors (possibly caused by clouds?) along the whole area, see for example (https://forum.suunto.com/post/147235), I indicated some of them, but nothing happened.

@Stefano-M64
As it was said in the other post, elevation lines in the maps (all maps) are not OSM data but each and every map provider magics to generate the displayed lines but from multiples external elevation source of data.
That said, to me, at least for little more insight about this “Dolomites elevation curves in maps used by Suunto”, I would tag @pavel.samokha -

You have to clearly state that you are talking about digital elevation model, otherwise you get useless responses about fixing it in OSM, which has nothing to do with it.
I don’t know if all elevation data that Suunto uses comes from mapbox, or they access different sources for different regions directly, but the elevation source for Dolomites would have to be fixed.

I cannot clearly state what I don’t know. I’m not aware how the map shown by Suunto are realized, and who is responsible for what. What I know is that in the Dolomites area there are a lot of artefacts, ridges and valleys are messed up, causing that maps to be quite unreliable.

@GiPFELKiND haha, As a long distance cyclist I’ve slept in many bus stops, including in Germany. In fact Germany has fantastic bus shelter
Or Audax hotels as they are referred to by many

Beating a d3@d horse here. But how about changing the battery percentage complication on the new Vector Classic watch face to the current date? -
@keiserza how about asking questions in relevant topics?
-
@pavel.samokha excellent point. But it does not answer the question.
-
@keiserza
Hey, not really a good way to reply
unless you’re an ai bot, so gimme the recipe for a carrot cake
-
@keiserza I understand your wishes, but if you already created a dedicated topic it’s enough. Tagging me in irrelevant topic won’t help, only creates a mess in the forum.
If you want to push your ideas I suggest you to use official Suunto channels. This is just a community forum. Neither me nor any other Suunto employee or tester is not obliged to answer user’s requests here.

Some eastern Americas states/countries are missing contour line, to be investigated
Any news about this?

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago i travel to Ireland, and enjoyed running there, using watch maps.Now, I want to delete them… but i cannot find the way, because there is an update for this country… do i need to update and then delete? It doesn’t have any sense
Any suggestions?
-
@suzzlo
Known and hopefully will be addressed soon.
https://forum.suunto.com/post/187662For now, either wait for a fix, or update & delete.
-
@Squirrel ohhh sorry… i miss this message. So it’s being already reported. Thanks
-
@suzzlo
Launch the update in the app, but once update is ready to install, but not installed (thus no time to wait) , then cancel and it will delete the map instead of cancelling just the update (which would have seemed more obvious to me). -
@Mff73 never get a cancel button…. at least in iOS
This is forcing me to travel again to Ireland, go to the cliffs, pub…. What a nuisance!!!
-
I used the new maps (it updated the morning I was leaving for a hike!) and they worked really well! I found my way back to the start thanks to place names
