Wear standalone maps which map does it use?
For outdoor use or only for urban/street use? -
Ghostracer Seems to use same battery as suunto app with 100 % screen off…
Activity: walking
But with display on ambient mode (dark with route visible) -
@giulio Ghostracer is a premium app. No doubt. Uses offline maps in various designs from mapbox or Google. Uses barometer (calibration at the start of the activity). Battery usage is quite good.
Wear standalone maps uses Google maps (road, satellite or hybrid.

i’m gving a try to ghostracer but i’m not able to use with ambient display. I had AMBIENT in screen and start an activit. If I don’t move my hand, screen turns dims for 1 sec and then turn off
am i missing something?

@pilleus
For hiking need mapbox outdoor, then ghostracer is more suitable -
@jorgefd78
Yes…
You must turn on aod…
Then if you select ambient dimmer
You will have ambient on -
@giulio working right now. Thank you!

In ghostracer how can i get altimeter calibration in the activity?On the S7 in Ghostracer swipe left, go to sensors, activate barometer and a screen to adjust the altitude will appear when you swipe back to the recording screen. Sometimes you have to repeat it to make it work.

@pilleus
i will try!!
Thanks -
Ghostracer - gpx routing only without recording the activity
On the smartphone: import a gpx file, copied to Ghostracer directory before with a file manager, add it as ghost, click the ghost to open it, click the three buttons at the top on the right side, edit and choose guide only,save and close, activate the ghost with the slider
On the S7: open Ghostracer, choose standalone mode, set screen to ambient dim (your display should be set to AOD before), choose the ghost you edited on the smartphone, wait for the GPS fix and you can follow the route without starting the recording of the activity.

Refresh of gps/screen?
Every 5 seconds? -
On mine i leave 5 second refresh ambient screen
-
@giulio I use 60 (hiking), 5 (mountain bike) or 2 (road bike) seconds.

How do you see the map on S7?
I have downloaded a map on the S7 but I don’t have the option to swipe to the 3rd tile where the map should be seen?

@pilleus
I noticed that if in paired mode it consumes less battery than the gps alone mode…but in the ambient screen it is always late on the map and does not rotate immediately…I hope so much suunto will bring us navigation routes as soon as possible -
I speak about ghostracer…
at this point I don’t know which is better between ghostracer and viewranger … for outdoor use … both have big limits, non-ruotable maps and not optimal consumption -
@JANTIKAINEN
See in option in ghostracer app on phone,there’s the option on what you will see in s7… -
@giulio Thanks found it.
I created a route in Strava and tried to import it from Add Ghost --> Strava Routes but can’t get it to work.
It looks like it’s trying but nothing happen.
Have anybody been successful with that? -
@pilleus
