      @JANTIKAINEN the Strava connection is okay? Is Ghostracer listed in Strava’s settings - My Apps?

        Creating cycling routes with Naviki

        A great app to create routes (A->B, loop) for road bike, mountain bike or all day usage. The calculated route can be exported as gpx file for usage in your preferred app on the S7 (or SA, hopefully for usage in the Suunto wear app in the near future).

        Here one of 8 calculated loops for mounting biking with a length of 40 km from my home back to my home. 👍

          I ask you this thing, maybe it happens to you too … often the gps remains active on suunto 7 and also on the phone, as if an app remains active and drains my battery quickly. all with suunto watchface or that do not need gps, I suspect it is the Altimeter app that continues to search for the position, even at home. how can I do? apart from restarting the 7?

                in my opinion suunto should equip the watch with proprietary apps like altimeter at least and maybe compass and atmospheric pressure and not having to rely on third party apps that don’t work or work badly

                  I also installed some appfour apps (Altimeter, Compass, Speedometer). However, when I checked the battery consumption in the Wear OS app (on the phone), I saw that Altimeter and Speedometer were using battery, even though I hadn’t opened the apps! It was only 1% per app, but apps like those should not use battery in the background IMO.
                  -> I uninstalled the apps…

                    I had Wear Mail app by Appfour and it was draining the battery a lot.
                    It seems that some apps by Appfour are killing the battery.

                      Setting : gps by phone ,barometric altimeter

                      I deactivated all options. The app uses then the barometer of the S7 for the altitude and not the GPS based altitude from the phone. 😎

                          @hqvkamil you need the paid version to disable phone GPS.

                            @hqvkamil sorry, but I have the appfour flat rate and therefore my answer. 🙏

                              @pilleus are you getting good results with the appfour altimeter? I get reasonable results recording activities with the Suunto app, but the appfour altimeter seems always very wrong.

                                @isazi I have the actual altitude with the appfour altimeter. No problems and not more than 3 meters offset to the correct altitude. 👍

                                  Are any of you using Wear Message app by Appfour?

                                  Do you see also pictures in Whatsapp messages in S7?
                                  Mine doesn’t show pics even though I have also Wear Photos app where also Whatsapp pictures show.
                                  I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and Appfour can’t help me.

                                  Also Whatsapp group conversations are a big mess. They don’t show all the messages and some of them appear twice and also conversation is sometimes split to few conversations.

                                  I was thinking if there is some better message app for Wear OS than Wear Messages?

                                    @JANTIKAINEN I am using wear messages (appfour) on my S7. Pictures are shown, messages can be seen sorted by different chats. Videos too, because I installed the video app (appfour) too.

                                    I just disabled notifications from WhatsApp to avoid double messages.

                                      By double messages I didn’t mean I get notification both from Wear Messages and Whatsapp.
                                      I’ve also disabled Whatsapp notifications,

                                      I meant like it’s shown in the pic here.
                                      It’s a Whatsapp group conversation and first it shows the message and then it shows the sender and the same message again. Pics and videos are blank even though I have installed Photos and Video app.

                                        @JANTIKAINEN okay, this happens sometimes, but I don’t know why. And not in all groups. 🤔

                                          @isazi To be honest, I would have liked Suutno to provide a professional solution here. Altimeter is an essential function of an outdoor watch. The Altimeter Apps from Wear OS are real power eaters. Suunto’s in-house solution, for example, like the Baro 9, was much better for me personally.

                                            @Stephan_74 In my opinion, Suunto should make their own suite of apps covering features like Sleep tracking, altimeter/barometer (storm alarm), sunset/sunrise alarms, compass, location/grid coordinates and of course enhance the Suunto sports tracker Wear app with navigation and support for external sensors.
