Something new is coming
-
@sky-runner you can only see the type of waypoint. If you give your own name, it is ignored
-
@jorgefd78
is it a S9 ?
Are WP names expected to appear in S7 as well ? -
@Mff73 it’s a s7!!
-
@jorgefd78 Thanks! The reason I asked is because waypoint names is mentioned in the update details above. So supposedly that is a new feature.
-
@sky-runner
But are WP names implemented on new S9 FW only or S7 also ? I have none of them, just i am not sure to have read it for S7. -

@nseslija
now i have seen that, i am more sad than ever not have it on my Spartan one day -
@nseslija Thanks! And how do you get to see this? Is this shown only as a notification popup or you can see this on demand whenever you need during navigation?
I apologize if this sounds like a silly question, but this way of showing waypoint seems new to me - I haven’t seen it in a year and half of owning S9 (and using navigation with waypoints), and I don’t have the watch anymore to try myself.

It is a notification popup. If you zoom out on the route you can see waypoints on the route map so depending on the level of zoom you can see the waypoint icons during navigation.

Desno means right
-
@Brad_Olwin Thanks! Having it only in the notification popup isn’t as useful as I hoped. The popup shows up only at a very short distance before the waypoint and goes away quickly. Ideally I’d want to see that info whenever I need.
-
@sky-runner and the zoom on the map is not always convenient, if the buttons are locked it is not accessible. I often pause my activity as I am zooming and the +/- has gone away. I think that could be improved, I would like to see when on the route screen that the upper and lower buttons are locked on zoom function unless button lock is engaged.
-
@Brad_Olwin Yes, that happened to me multiple times too. The zoom controls disappear, and trying to zoom in then pauses the watch. I provided that feedback to Suunto in the past.
-
@lexterm77 yes
-
@sky-runner yes, popup. You can see next waypoint name in navigation menu at any time…
-
Not sure if right topic but does anyone else have problem with alti/pressure menu restart after latest update? My watch S9B has restarted four times in one week when I enter alti/pressure menu. Twice it went to update state (downward arrow with four dots) which needed soft reset and twice just restarted. This happens after one or two days not everytime.
Otherwise everything else works just fine.
-
@Jugger interesting. Wanna post this on suunto 9 - latest update thread ?
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Can you move this post there? I’m new here and still learning to use this forum.
-
@Jugger no worries. Let it be here. Welcome.
