Software update 2.11.38 for S5/S9

@isazi ok, thanks, GPS + BEIDOU recommended instead of GPS + GAL also in European alps?

I noticed that shown battery before training ist longer with BEIDOU. I will try

It may be worth implementing beta test mode for watch software users. This gives a lot of feedback for the company and shows which features are of the greatest interest.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Software update 2.11.38 for S5/S9:

Depending on the SNR and V/HError the watch will pick the best satelites to use that will ensure a great GNSS accuracy.

So how do I know which to choose with my SNR? (GAL, GLO, BEIDOU) or was it referring to watch will pick the best between GPS and QZSS?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@mountainChris If you are in Greece go for BEIDOU I d say from my tests in Athens

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

Logical explanation of button issues. (Although I’m sure @TELE-HO will happily do all the sleeve/glove obstruction/functionality testing you could possibly want. As rigorously and tirelessly as a machine. While TRX-ing. Time on hands, so to speak.)

And I’m willing to believe in money-making as an occasional corporate priority, no matter how outlandish that might seem.

What I was really asking, and heading way OT, was whether you could answer:

In normal (pre-/post-viral) conditions, how does any new-to-Suunto feature like the cited “climb pro” get on that list? (E.g.: that feature from interpolating Garmin sales & climb pro introduction? Requests on another channel?)

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Michał-Muszyński that exists. It’s called fieldtesting and many people are contributing all over the world.

Its not open and I am not managing this area.

Its not open because it’s almost a “real” job todo so. Meaning that it’s not like install SW -> Enjoy.

There are surveys that take 1h to be filled , tests and procedures to follow etc.

@mountainChris I still have to try Beidou, and haven’t been in the Alps for over a month, although I had great results skiing with GPS+Galileo in February. You can play with this tool if you want to check which satellites are up in your area.

There is RELEASE NOTE on suunto 3 support webpage , and don’t receive any update from suuntolink.
My watch is suunto 3 fitness, so the update is only for S9/S5/S3 ,no S3 fitness?

@isazi Great tool! Thanks very much! BEIDOU seems to be really great! + SUUNTO ist awesome!

[tomahawk5000]

@isazi thanks for this website. In Poland BeiDou definitely win, no less than 10-11 satellites

[isazi]

@mountainChris @tomahawk5000 you may also want to look at this one too. And remember, the number of satellites, although very important, is not everything.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

I understand, he writes to you, knowing that you are closer to Suunto than we all are. My goal is not to criticize or attack you. I know you can do as much as your position in the company allows.
They are thinking about something that allows you to implement functions that do not require great commitment. And they cause users to see continuous development. Suunto currently has very slow updates. I think people are impatient now and would like to see quick results. You know very well that many people left the competition because of slow development.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@jkyou98 correct

I know that buddy don’t worry.

@Saketo-Nemo Hi, great to know. Could you provide a picture of the track ?

@Michał-Rudzki said in Software update 2.11.38 for S5/S9:

@TELE-HO I am using Spartan, Suunto many, many times fail me… also, in my opinion, they don’t have QA process at all. All tests are made by developers on desk nothing more.

@Michał-Rudzki completely wrong. Take a look to the youber who works in Suunto, he runs with 3 watches everyday.

[clemens.renzl]

@mountainChris hmmm, not for me…the green line is “gps only” the other one is “gps+beidou”, but i think it really depends on the location…

[tomahawk5000]

@clemens-renzl so should I understand that additional satellites interfere instead of help?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos said in Software update 2.11.38 for S5/S9:

This release was for example targeted to be bigger, but things went out due to no space for testing

does that mean that there should soon be other new features when we do “normal” activities again (quickly I hope)?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Rob33 If you are asking if there will be an extra release in the short term I think. no.

Now all is moved to next Q
