3D on the BIG Screen

[Tomas5]

@markytarky yes i agree that many things is focusing more and more to smartphones. I am only 32 years old and i like to use mobile devices, tablets etc. But maybe because i work daily 8h on PC, i didn’t forget how good it is for me to check my data on PC, plan my routes on PC etc. It is like other things, i can edit photos on smartphone but i doubt that any profesional photographer prefer working on smartphone instead of PC. Same for programming or writing long word documents. There are some task that are best to do on smartphones, but than there are other thinks that are possible on smarphone but it is at cost of usability. But, maybe i am not average target group. Just know i miss it every day since i stopped using Ambit 2.

Definitely i value work done on mobile app. My complains are not to attack programmers at suunto. It is just to point there are another customers that miss this lost features.

Yes, they lack the web, but honestly, I don’t want to sound unpolite, but I think it is more for the older generation (I’m 38 y.o.). These days, it is all about phones that are often more powerful than laptops.

There are tasks that are better done on phones and there are tasks that require a large screen and a precision of a mouse or a trackpad.

An example I like to bring is finding out how much time total I spent in a race in all aid stations. Try doing that with a Suunto app. With Movescount that was easy to accomplish, easier than with any other platform I used. Basically that requires seeing a map synchronized with the graphs, ability to overlay e.g. cadence, pace, HR on a graph, ability to zoom into graphs, and ability to see tooltips that show time and distance. With Movescount I could quickly find all aid station stops, zoom in and see precisely when I stopped running and when I resumed. That helped me to build split tables for repeating races on the same course. That, by the way, would be an awesome feature that nobody does right - having splits for each aid station for an upcoming race and checking how you are performing against the planned splits - whether you are ahead or behind. I guess Garmin Pace Pro is supposed to do something like that but it doesn’t really work.

Another issue that everyone forgets is accessibility. Perhaps that is the reason older people prefer PCs. It isn’t a matter of using a PC. It is a matter of having a large screen that one can see well. My eyesight is declining and when I use a phone I have to use a large font; otherwise I can’t see things well. But let me tell you - most apps really suck with a large font. It seems most developers never bother to test apps with large fonts. And even if they work correctly the density of data is usually so low that these apps are borderline unusable. And yes, Suunto app used to have a number of bugs when running with large fonts too. I don’t know if those bugs are fixed now because I hardly ever use Suunto app these days.

@freeheeler Looks that someone will need to change the title of this thread…

…I notice that we drifted a bit off from @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos 's original post, telling us that 3D track movie is now available on big screen…

Finally got this to work in Safari! For weeks it’s just reloaded indefinitely - as did the FatMap website. However, a reboot and a corresponding software update to Safari, and everything finally works!

Sorry to dig this thread out but is there a way to display/share an activity using the classic map view and not the 3D?
I have a couple of old friends who are not really into 3D things but more stuck on paper maps.

@darxmurf remove “maps.” from the generated link

Hi everyone, there is a problem for visualization on my activity.
https://maps.suunto.com/move/albertocaporella810/61d9bb81f75d280bdefc5d69

[zvonejan]

@alberto-caporella-0
Did you import this activity or it was created with the suunto watch?

[alberto caporella 0]

@zvonejan Created by Suunto 7

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@alberto-caporella-0 I dont see any problem ?

[Egika]

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos the automatic flight is so low, that the route temporarily disappears behind the mountain.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@alberto-caporella-0 should be fixed now , if still and issue try to clear the browser cache

@darxmurf
or replace maps. by app. from the generated link

let’s hope it comes sometime

Excellent web and app feature, thanks!

However I have to say I much prefer the smartphone app 3D view in Portrait with the live update on the key three metrics.

Could we share this video view in portrait mode in different social networks? (ideally having a MP4 video export option on the smartphone, then you would offer all the Suunto owner, a basic Relive feature for “free”, that is a competitive advantage against competition)
(the social viral spread could be further extended then -> Youtube shorts, TikTok, Instagram reel, Facebook portrait feed, …)

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos 3D playback is great and look awesome on the big screen!!
…I only wish I could access these from the website where I can log on because in 99,5 % of cases I’m sharing these with myself. In other words the basic web site is still despretally needed. …and possibility of .mp4 export would be also great feature.

The data grid in this web link ( below the awesome 3D animation) is missing 2 data fields from my runs compared to SA , app shows 25 fields vs 23.

Fields missing in data grid from this shareable link
max pace, TSS and my S+ field (TP Normalized Power)

max speed is not in SA but it’s in this web link.

Is this something we can report for a possible fix?

thanks

Intervals icu when looking at an activity synced from Suunto, it has in the top right corner these two links:

~ View on Suunto ~ Sports Tracker

View on Suunto basically is a link to this 3D on the big screen thing, however it’s not working properly directly from intervals icu screen, it shows bad gateway, have asked David who created that platform and he’s not sure what’s the issue.
After my testing looks like we have to do in Suunto side share link to activity first, then the link works from Intervals ICU, can this be tweaked to work all the time without have to select the button “share link” in Suunto?

thanks

@herlas Thanks for feedback. Unfortunately it can’t be “tweaked” for privacy reasons. You either should explicilty share or make some specific workout public or set your default privacy setting to public.

Sports-Tracker Web site has auth and maps.suunto.com does not, its primarily goal is to share workouts with friends, not analyzing your private workouts.

Also link to maps.suunto.com works as a deeplink: if you click on it in Android/iOS phone/tablet it can be opened directly in Suunto App.

And yes, it certainly should not show bad gateway, but gracefully show not found, we’ll fix one day

[herlas]

@pavel-samokha oh okay, I see, thank you for your reply!
