      @pilleus the gestures and changing apps during an activity.

      The lack of support of Stryd would make me to use another app to record with power and export it to Suunto app later so I’m very interested about the gestures and 2 apps at the same time during activity.

        @pilleus thanks, very interesting! Did you already try ViewRanger? I’m about to test it, but if you’ve already done that…

          @jean-william-cousin no, I didn’t test viewranger. I don’t like the layout and setup. Sorry to say this. 😊

              the gestures and changing apps during an activity.

              Here a short video captured via ADB. A bit lagging therefore. I toggled between S7 app (recording cycling mountain bike) and Locus Map (loaded gpx file for routing). My gestures: for Locus Map -> L to show to the lower button, for Suunto App -> upside down L to show to the upper button. So I can remember the gestures. 😉

              is there a way to embed a youtube videos?

                It shouldn’t be possible.
                But you can add an image as a thumbnail and add the video link

                        @pilleus I’d assume both running apps would have slots in the notification drawer? Wouldn’t be easier just press Home button, slide up, and tap to switch between them?

                        I like the idea of two apps (and like the battery drop that’s nowhere as bad as one would expect), just not sure about additional launcher hassle.

                          press Home button

                          Of course. The standard way is often simple.

                          But! If you close the app, you are not back in the other app. You are on the watch face. And I can use the gestures with gloves while cycling. No chance to tap an app in the standard app list.

                          And! After 3,5 hours of mounting biking, I have to recharge, my bike lamp has to recharge and it is no problem to recharge my S7 too.

                          So it’s a working alternative for me. 😊

                              Standalone Wear Map (full version 2,59 EUR) and NavExplorer (free) to follow a track (gpx file)

                              For me actually the most interesting way to follow a track, which can be planed on the smartphone with an app or on a PC or tablet on a website. The track must be available in gpx file format.

                              This gpx file is transferred from the smartphone to the S7 via Bluetooth or WLAN with the NavExplorer. Just create a new folder /Routes on the S7 and copy the gpx file from the smartphone to the new folder, so that the Standalone Wear Map can pick it up and start to follow the route. In my case the file is mtb.gpx (see attached pics).

                              It’s possible to use the app for navigation too. Without gpx file. Just type your destination and the app will navigate.

                              Here the links and some screenshots:

                                  @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos,

                                  Hello,

                                  Do you know if there is a way to create a route on the map with for example movescount and then load the map into the S7 so you can check during training if you’re walking / running the right way? ( It is possible with the S9 )

                                  Thanks regards Ben

                                    @Ben-de-Vries The only way to create and follow a route is with 3rd party apps. both are listed below. You can create the route on MC export into ViewRanger and then import into the watch but the route will not show on Suunto Wear App.

                                          @Ben-de-Vries You can import any GPX into ViewRanger, either exported from MC or anywhere else, that is all. There is atm no ability to get routes into the Suunto Wear App. The S7 as you know does not connect to MC but you can draw a route on MC and export the GPX, import into ViewRanger and download to View Ranger on the S7.

                                            @Brad_Olwin yes all clear, this will work fine for now, let’s hope that Suunto eventually will make this possible in the future, thanks again 👍👍
