Export POIs from Suunto 9

isazi

Is there already a feature request? If not, let’s create one and vote. I honestly don’t use POIs, but also until 12 months ago was not using routes on the watch either. I am still a paper map fan! Anyway, I would vote for the possibility to export/import POIs from/to the app.

But bring your map because we still need those. And a headtorch because … dark.

I find suunto poi an excellent feature, even when navigating in city. I hardly use or nearly never use Google maps nowadays. I just create poi using suunto app and then sync to watch and then navigate to poi. Always work like charm!

@djibarian for sure I am not the one to decide or tell when and how.

What I can do, is present to the Suunto app Product Owner the feature request of exporting the POIS based on the demand here, he can then prioritize the request and make it so that it gets out for both Android +iOS + Backend systems.

Even if the work would be “small” (at least how I see it) that doesn’t mean it comes first / quick .

So please people do a feature request and vote

Yes that feature is bound to come

…more than three years ago. The news are Apple Watch Ultra. Sorry for being sarcastic, but this is not the way customers are treated.

For what it’s worth, I was able to extract the POIs using an app dump as explained here :

Make sure Suunto app has storage permission.

Go to settings and tap many times the version number. Logging will start.

Go to home , pull to refresh the feed

Wait a bit

Go again to settings tap many times the version it will stop logging

On your Android internal storage there will be a folder called stt.

Then we can use R (or another SQLite client) to connect to the produced database in android > data > com.stt.android.suunto > files > stt-dump > amer_app.db and use the pois table.

Far from being easy…

@glaucidium-passerinum Sorry for digging up an old post

Have you (or anyone else) tried to “INSERT INTO” (playing with SQL) data into the “pois” table ? Do you think that could be a means to import POIs into the application ?

… or would that break something ?

It was working in the past (I did it), no checked with current database structure.

Edit : I just checked and POIs have a key, I don’t remember if it was the case in the past.
