              @eurohiker Be aware that wifi tethering might not work for downloading maps. A post on the Suunto 7 group on facebook some time ago suggests that downloading maps might need an unmetered connection and that some Android phones might be considered as metered by the Suunto 7.

                @aeroild I seem to remember a DCRainmaker article mentioning that he was unable to download maps when using wifi-hotspot.

                  @aeroild @Aleksander-H
                  You guys are right.
                  I can sync routes over wifi-direct (hotspot) but not offline maps. Using my OP7pro with Android 11.
                  Also, it doesn’t connect to my wifi hotpsot on 5g band only 2.4g band.

                  Feature Request: let us download offline maps via wifi direct or bluetooth internet connection hotspot. Preferably without being hooked to a charger as well.

                      @eurohiker If you’re comfortable connecting the watch to a computer and using adb you can easily instruct your watch to consider your phone as an unmetered wifi connection, and thus download maps. The command on how to do that is in the link on my previous post.

                          I don’t think the S7 has support for wifi at 5 GHz, or at least that is not in the FCC certification (it only reports test results for 2.4 GHz).

                            I’d like to see the ability for larger offline maps. If I take the train to go for a hike somewhere, I could quite quickly leave the area for offline maps. If it could be expanded to around 200 km I would almost never have to change the area to download.

                              @aleksander-h There are likely reasons for this. You can have one offloaded map with all heat maps. In addition, any route you have loaded will load the corresponding outdoor map. So if you load routes for the area you want, you should have all the outdoor maps loaded.

                                @brad_olwin I only just realized the file sizes will probably go up really quick. If they increase from 40 km (I think that’s the current limit) to 80 km for instance I believe that would result in 4 times as much storage being consumed by maps.

                                  I would like weight training addon like in the new Venu 2. This is a big feature.
                                  It would be cool if I can pick a workout within the phone app and have the watch count reps. Track my progress over time.
                                  Right now I use a Google Doc on my phone so this would eliminate that.
                                  Specific features:

                                  • pick a workout / WOD (i don’t even need the lifting animations or what muscle it targets like on the Venu 2). For something like yoga I would like animations.
                                  • count the reps, sets, skip to next exercise
                                  • watch weight editor for each set- i do pyramids sets for main lifts typically. The watch screen is big enough to show a big calculator type thing for weight input
                                  • customize a workout with letting me drag and drop on the phone
                                  • Workout log / progress
                                  • HIIT timers
                                  • set timer

                                  Sidenote: customized workout should also be for cardio based workouts like brick for Triathletes or even crossfitters. I think it’s crazy that bricks aren’t a thing yet especially since the watch is outdoor focused.

                                    @eurohiker There are apps that do this, Fitify is one but there are several so I think Suunto sees this as already implemented.

                                      @eurohiker this feature (sets/reps counting, etc.) was in the latest survey from Suunto. I think if the majority of users want it, it will come.

                                        @brad_olwin Awesome thanks, I will check it out. Play store kinda sucks for finding new apps haha.

                                        @isazi It’s good to hear that Suunto is at least thinking about it!

                                        Happy with the continued update support!
