@sartoric yes

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Ok.
A friend of mine had the notification in the app, but suuntolink did not update the S9
But I just got a message, that he got it this morning.

Upgrade suuntolink

[NikosX]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos hmm, Im still getting the following msg, while suuntolink is on 3.1.4 version. Should I wait a little bit more or is it possible to get the firmware file here and update to 2.12.30 manually? (I am S9 not S9B)

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@NikosX perhaps restart suunto link or reinstall. The update is out for all. Or some firewall?

[NikosX]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Hello, firewall disabled but no luck, so I used a vpn and I finally got the update. Its strange as Suuntolink it is updated without issue. Most likely something with my network. Thanks for the help.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@NikosX Roger that. Good morning

In climb S+ mode there’s grade in %. How can I make any sense of it? How does it relate to degrees?

[isazi]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel in general 45 degrees should be 100%. You can check on the internet how to use distance and angle to compute it.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel inclination

0 is flat up to 100 which is 90degrees if not mistaken

However the way to interpret it is this for me.

Grade: If you climb 100m in 1km it’s 10% grade

VS: If you are climbing with a vertical speed of 10meters per minute you will gain 100 meters up in 10 minutes. In a 10% grade you will also have covered one km.

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@isazi that’s what I’ve also found but wasn’t sure if it’s the same in Suunto.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos, thanks, this makes sense.

Also, how often is this data smoothed in case of S5 which doesn’t use baro for elevation?

[Egika]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos isazi is corect .
100% equals 45°
(in your example 1km vertical over 1km horizontal)

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Egika oups

BTW - either there is a bug in the application (it should be m/h, not m/min) or it’s time to go to the Himalayas and break some world records;)

@kabzior got a link for me ?

[isazi]

Yesterday I finally tried the loop S+ function on the track. Pretty good results, the laps triggered in the space for 1-2 meters of where I started my track session. Will use it again

[Łukasz Szmigiel]

@isazi yeah, can confirm the precision is amazing. Even with tree cover, it works surprisingly accurate.

There you go:

Of course, the error is in SA and not in the activity itself, the wrong units are given in app.

PS - In one of the threads earlier you asked me to let me know if there was still a problem with the navigation after updating the software. See the attached section of the route - it’s straight and to the left, but with going a bit down to the hut and back in the same way to continue. After leaving the hut, the navigation for about 10 minutes guided me back to the hut, even though I was walking in the opposite direction. As I said - there is a problem if the route is on the same road in opposite directions.

[isazi]

@Łukasz-Szmigiel at first I was using the speed based sprints believing that GPS based loop would be less accurate, but I was wrong
Now I will keep using the loop in the track, or for loops in the park, and using the sprints for something like fun fartlek sessions.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@kabzior I meant a suunto app link (since I now work as a dev I could create and fix this my self )
