So, what are you going to do after Movescount closes?
-
Are you sure about this POI not being able to get uploaded to a3p anymore? I uploaded few last weekend with cable and suuntolink.

@André-Faria Fairly taken. The point was made in response to an assertion that Garmin was not as dependent on their app or web service.
There a few different threads here on how users can manually pull files off Suunto devices.

No, no way to put new POI’s onto the watch.
HOLY WTF… And those on the forum are suggesting that this is OK… I am an outdoor instructor and SAR Team leader I use this watch for what it is designed for… NAVIGATION!!! Suunto Are ****************************** useless and worse… You HAVE KILLED THE WATCH…
I’m guessing you’ve missed that element of my previous posts then! That is the single biggest complaint I have on this transition, over and above any loss of web interface. And your feelings there are exactly the same as mine, I am this close to blowing my lid with Suunto on this and it’s why I not only will never buy another Suunto product (and why a free new Suunto watch won’t fix the issue) but also why I will avoid all Amer Sports owned companies in the future too (Arxteryx, Solomon, Enve and Mavic)…

It certainly is with the Spartan Ultra; once we can’t use Movescount we can’t use POI’s.

@Ennoch so it is different for Ambit/Traverse as they will keep MC in some way.

Oh yes, I forgot about Spartans… That’s truly outrageous. Unbelievable that they are killing movescount and let users wait them to return features in their new app.

But with out POIs etc you know the KEY FEATURES of a GPS watch

@lohtse calm down, breath, you still will have POIs.

And for those of us with SU’s? Ah yeah, we’re getting fucked.

Okay, thanks for confirming this @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos - it’s the first time I’ve had any confirmation of this from anyone at Suunto, and if Suunto had made this statement when asked it would have saved a whole lot of anger and frustration/stress. Presumably this is why Movescount appears to still be working past the drop-dead date?

You already have them

Still on the Suunto online shop the Ambits are advertised as compatible with Movescount for route creation and compatible with apps… I hope the watch box doesn’t advertise movescount.
I really find it unethical not to show in red bold 72px characters what is happening with the downgrade of the ambits. A watch that is still being sold.
-
@Ennoch Should be one way or another stated later perhasp this week or when I get a go to post this here.
That said, this is in many ways ALSO an outcome driven by this conversation AND the iOS + A3 issues people have been posting here

Don’t take this as a personal attack because it’s not, but are you living in a parallel universe, or have some special version of the App? Because for the last two years Suunto have been telling us to switch to the App, yet for the last two years (and to this day) the App still doesn’t have POI’s. We’ve been told that Movescount was finally dead as of yesterday (i.e. we must use the App) and as of today there is still no way of putting POIs on the watch via the app. If I had done as Suunto had tried to pressure us into and gone for the App from its inception my watch would have been virtually useless these last two years.

Boy, I really wish you’d told us that before I swapped MC App for SA on my “Spartan Phone”. I couldn’t get Spartan->SuutoLink->MCweb to work before, anyway.

@Ennoch what part of “Ambit users can still use MC and MC supports POIs” you do not understand?
