@markytarky Yep I’d like to see that as well via a long middle button press during a workout

@dmytro said in Future S9 firmware wishlist summary:
The less button pushes before the activity, the better.
less button pushes: that’s why toggle per sport mode to activate touch even the buttons are locked would make sense to me

It would be nice if maybe after you have chosen the same settings 4 or 5 times it could remember them. Whenever I start a workout I always have to scroll down to disable the HR as I never use it. Occasionally if it’s raining or dark, poor visibility etc I’ve accidentally disabled the GPS by mistake and have had to start over. Doesn’t help having the HR and GPS right next to each other!
-
@markytarky not to mention that you have to scroll almost all the way down for “Weather”

I sometimes struggle to find older feature requests or improvements for the S9.
it’s most likely either in this thread or in S9 baro wishlist…
would it hurt to restructure the requests to list it below the specific watch model with keywords instead of a wishlist pool? we could discuss each feature separately and once it’s implemented mark it as such but leave it open for further questions, discussion and improvements? -
@freeheeler unfortunately we still do not have a proper way to process requests here. We have a section for SA requests, but not for watches.

@isazi
but that’s on the invisible side of this forum, right? how about the front end?
maybe I imagine it too simple… I think of a structure for each watch: FAQ, updates, issues, feature requests etc and within these topics subtopics.
this forum evolved from a discussion “chat-like” page into some kind of database-ish platform where a lot of knowledge is stored and a nice amount of great features are requested -

@isazi
why didn’t I recognize this back then?
I wonder what @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos thinks about that? -
Gents, I’m sure sometimes in the past it was mentioned, but I still like to re-open it here. The topic is turn-by-turn plus WP navigation. I just read through how the “up ahead” function on Garmin is working. I was curious if they could show the information about the next WP (distance) and still maintain the turn-by-turn. And it seems like they have it. Any chance this can be part of the Suunto watches? If it’s not already on the list, we need to push it there. Thanks.

@markytarky
another reason for a new structure in this forum -
@markytarky Suunto turn-by-turn navigation is just waypoints (with a icon and a name). Garmin uses the map on the watch to do routing on the watch. So, I do not think this will be possible with current Suunto watches.
-
@markytarky I raised this issue a while ago. See my post here
I had an Ambit3 and the waypoint navigation was excellent, but was removed for the S9. -
@isazi I still don’t understand. You are saying the garmin’s turn are not actual waypoints?
-
@markytarky As @isazi says Garmin uses the map information to do a routing in your track, as a car GPS does, you can also add waypoints.
On the Suunto devices the route planer adds the turn-by-turn info as waypoints, the watch only reads the track info.
-
@cosme-costa what if we’d call TbT “turn X” and have the watch exclude all WPs with such names from the list of coming ups. SA can restrict creation or import of WPs to avoid using the names “turn X” to avoid collisions.
-
To record “sled sport” I use “ski touring” and then edit it in SA to other unspecified sport, but it could be easier and would be very nice to have a predefined “sled sport” on the watch.
-
@wotus funny - I was using snow shoeing für this
-
@dmytro This would be good in my opinion, and a good way to make more nice the navigation TbT. In my opinion, and I do not know how difficult it is to implement, instead of text we should see an icon.
Personally I don’t use TbT with the S9B, I tried and too many alarms or to little, not all the trails are in the route builders (I guess is a map thing, mainly Open Street Maps), all depends on how it interprets the route. I’m quite used and happy on how navigation works in Suunto devices.
With Garmin this is better, at least for biking with a bigger screen, you can look ahead how the turn is going to be but even then I find it quite intrusive too.

Simple request here, I’d love an option to enable an hourly beep like all of the older digital watches used to do! Well actually I’d prefer a short beep-beep
