Future S9 firmware wishlist summary

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@zvonejan haha true. But the MM accuracy must refer to Hortizontal one. Vertical typically is more affected by trees but this is really a guess.

So far I am having my hand in the pocket, and it has about ~7m max error. I had only once >10m 25m offset.

So far beidou for me has no more than 10m error on average (average max error not average error) so I am very pleased. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that those improvements come out (the bei ones from wiki) and hopefully you will get the FW soon

FYI it’s imo more than ready and tested

[tomahawk5000]

Any other rumours about new features?

Hello everyone
For complete happiness I miss the compass in running mode. The screen with the return trail does not contain the direction in which I run, as on the compass.

hmm, what is wrong with breadcrumb?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@AdamMada there is the compass there. The little red triangle

[AdamMada]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
And in this he is a prolem. A small triangle.
I have no specific direction in degrees.
After 20 km I can barely see this triangle.
An additional dial with a compass would solve the problem.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@AdamMada why not then find back ? It adds that screen no?

[AdamMada]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Suunto app-> sport mode configuration-> running.
No shield screen compass.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@AdamMada if you need it for find back you can enable find back and that will be added as a screen

I was hoping to spend some time with the update …

[Jonathan Newby]

Come on Suunto let’s cheer everyone up and have an update.

[isazi]

@Jonathan-Newby now that we cannot get out and test it?

[tomahawk5000]

@isazi I cannot agree. Except Italy as far as I know in Europe we can go outside under one condition stay away from other people - am I right or not?

In Spain you can not go out. People are getting nice fines if they are caught avoiding restrictions.

[isazi]

@tomahawk5000 in some countries (mine included) we can, but we shouldn’t. I am still going out to run/hike, but it’s becoming ever more difficult because people are not making any effort to keep social distancing, and my runs are mostly avoiding people more than running.

[ink357]

In France government said we could. But close to the house. Yesterday a young woman died hiking near my town… that’s sad and it need some cops and rescue team to find her body… i think they had another things to do. If people are not more responsible, nobody could get out soon

[Jonathan Newby]

In England we can go wherever at the moment but this wont last for long. I can test if suunto are after people.

[Likarnik]

Well, I’m used to run at 4:30am, so avoiding people is not an issue

[Mff73]

Avoiding people is one point of view, but doing ANY outside activity can makes one need some rescue, and these rescue efforts will not be focused on Virus actions.
I think it is a point not that well known/understand.

That said, i understand it, and go outside as usual as i never see anyone where i live Just doing my stuff knowing not to be injured too much to avoid any rescue claims

[Fenr1r]

@Mff73 Proving your points.
