@Saketo-Nemo I don’t want that.
There are just improvements on which we exchanged that we could hope according to the exchanges (example: improvement of direction guidance signs on “complex” route), and which do not arrive and certain optimizations which must arrive but with a delay always shifted .
i said that i am satisfied.

Suunto is definitely aware of the complex route issue problem. I believe that the waypoints that are coming will completely solve this issue.

If you believe it it means that it is a fact because you already have test it

Faith is to believe in something that most of believers will never test

@Mff73 we had a sneak peak of POI here… so maybe is not believing thing, is more waiting thing.

@Bulkan

we had a sneak peak of POI here

Did we? I remember a glimpse of named Waypoints and some mention of the difficulty of decoupling them (where’s Paltrow when you need her?) …

Did I miss the actual POIs and their entry/modification UI? Darn.

[Bulkan]

@Fenr1r yeah. We had it in video.

This is the beauty of this living form of the forum

[Fenr1r]

@Bulkan I saw the waypoint video; could you direct me to the POI, please?

[Mff73]

I may have lost something, I have not seen any video .

[sartoric]

@Mff73
Maybe it’s not lost forever

@LitchiMonster
Thanks, never seen it, appreciate !

And now, i want this feature more than before

[Maryn]

@Mff73 they’ve handled it pretty well
I’m looking forward to it. They say that you have to wait longer for good things :), but in this case it’s a bit excessive

[Fenr1r]

That’s the vid I remember: it shows a named waypoint (there’s a giveaway somewhere). Better than nothing, of course, it’s not, as yet, a POI. No sign of coordinate entry/modification (necessary if you don’t have the relevant map tiles on your phone for whatever reason). So not yet back up to even Movescount standards in this regard.

Is that tap on the screen actually adding a coord location (to the route) or does SA pick the nearest point on that auto-generated route and enable name editing? The former would seem to have the simpler potential for discrete POIs but the latter seems to be more likely.

SA seems to deal exclusively in routes: apparently, a WP will have to be “decoupled” from … something (notional short route?) … to provide a POI. And then the rest of the notional route is invisibly deleted? Curious.

… Remember that the video was a “leak” from our Assange … just a taste

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said that WP first, and then POI will come, as, as far as i remember, WP is at SuuntoDev side, the basis for the POI implementation.
I think (hope) that things will arrive with nice UI implementation (like touch, zoom, select on the screen, etc…) and after, maybe, more tech entry ways may be implemented (like coordinates).

For WP, you can plot the route and then add a WP where you see to want to put it, but you may also like to create a route, knowing the coordinate of the point you want to go (could we call it POI, before it becomes a WP ? ).
in brief, to me, and just to me, i will see what will come and react on what won’t be manageable to request enhancements.

Sorry, what is an Assange ? without understanding, and with my english level, i am afraid to imagine the taste of something called Ass_ange

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Mff73 Assange = Julian Assange = Leakers ~= Me that breaks NDA

[dulko79]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos excellent explanation

[Fenr1r]

@Mff73 Maybe having a new baby induces sympathetic leakage.

@Mff73 Assange = Julian Assange = Leakers ~= Me that breaks NDA

He’s now leaking about leaking, poor guy.

[JorgeFD]

so we need a Dimitrios who breaks NDA
