bed icon is a little too much for this category
Yep, definitely. Suunto already has good, separate icons for shelters and lodging listed in their POIs. Like @isazi mentioned, it’ll just take some time to implement them and sort the info effectively.
-
Just to be noticed : maps update is significantly faster on my SV1 vs my SRs.
Same WiFi, both watches at the same place. -
@Tieutieu interesting.
I found V1 very slow compared to V2
t6, S6, Elementum Terra, Ambit 3 Sapphire, Spartan Ultra Copper, Traverse Alpha, S7 Graphite LE, S9B Ambassador, S9P Titanium, S9PP Titanium, Vertical All Black, Race Titanium Charcoal, Race S Titanium Courtney, Run Lime, Race 2, Vertical 2 Titanium
-
@Egika please don’t tempt me : for now I resist to SV2 because I love my SV1 but the latest update is sooo cool on my SRs…I understand that everything would be faster on SV2 !
-
@Tieutieu
Good that the need to update maps does not occur every week -

Ah, true. Vertical 2 and Race 2 maps download should be faster than Vertical 1 / Race / Race S
-
I can’t update any maps. I live in The Netherlands and have The Vertical 2. The app doesn’t seem to be upgraded, but I’m not on beta.
Delete the map you want to update and then download it again. This way you’ll get the updated map data.
Also consider deleting watch maps you don’t need anymore while you can, using your current app version, because after Suunto app update, you might not be able to delete maps, until you update them first. (This limitation is known and will hopefully be fixed later.) -
@Squirrel Thanks! Will try this

Is anyone else experiencing crashes/reboots during the map updates? My Vertical crashed 2 times while downloading the maps.
my Race rebooted once while downloading one of the three maps I updated
-
@Brad_Olwin ditto for my R2 and RS. Very smooth. Fantastic update!
-
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?
