SOFTWARE UPDATE 2.19.42 January 27, 2022
-
@hexa62 There was some kind of problem with update with IOS. They have fixed it and it should install during this night. So load up your watch full and wait until morning.
-
@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos any idea when the update will be available for ios-users?
-
@hexa62 I got the push on iOS last night. Denver USA
-
Was up in the hills yesterday, great to see the elevation going up in single units now rather than 3 or 4 at a time
-
@miniforklift Ditto this! I ran a trail race today that has 2514’ of gain and just a hair over 10.25 miles in length (per official government mapping). After the firmware update, my 9 Baro measured 2603’ and 10.55, so pretty close over some brutal twisty, snowy and wind-swept terrain.
Other recent times running this course with my Suunto showed 2335’ and 2300’ of gain over 10.84 and 10.89 miles, respectively. So definitely an improvement! Though I forgot to calibrate my compass before the activity, so I wonder if things could’ve been even tighter.
For comparison, my Garmin FR last year at this race measure 2320’ of gain and 9.88 miles.

Hey what’s the deal with the S+ Ghost Runner now? I can select it and turn it on but doesn’t give me any options to select time and distance?
-
@miniforklift never had. You select target (distance or duration) and it uses that. The target is in the activity menu (scroll down from activity start menu).

Gotcha, thanks for that. So user error then haha! Can I suggest having the duration selectable in 1min increments rather than 5min increments?
-
@miniforklift yes, I agree with that. I’ll tell Suunto next time I have the chance.

Fantastic, thank you. Appreciated

Hi, does anybody tried Alpine skiing exercise mode? I lost couple of screens with tons of information after the update. Actually now I have only one screen with some info, interval screen and breadcrumbs screen.
-
@nseslija the default or a custom mode?
-
@isazi Default
-
@nseslija right. I have one screen with 5 data fields: lap (run) max and average speed, downhill counter, downhill distance and time. Thias one also has my HR as the circular information.
Second screen is the lap table of each run. And then the bread crumb as you say.Feel free to design your own alpine skiing screens with tha data you like to see
-
@egika i will do that. But I am certain that I had two more screens in default Alpine skiing exersise 10 days ago.
-
I did another test for hill repeats: wow, mich more precise, than before. Real ascend according to suunto planer 154m vs 158m ascend and 134m descend on a measured track.
-
@dmytro is it the same hill? It looks like it’s getting higher for every repeat.
-
@richard-thygesen yes haha, altitude floats a little. But I think it’s fine as long as totals are correct. And don’t forget, hill’s about 10m - just a jokingly small altitude difference. Should be much better for 100m hills. But I’ll test those after my exams are over.
-
@dmytro Good afternoon! Are you saying the Suunto 9 has improved its altitude readings after the last update? If so, that’s really good news because my Suunto 9 has been terrible in this regard. It has always under reported my climbs. If there’s improvements I’ll definitely give it a try.
-
@tyresej4 yup, both s9b and regular S9 have been improved by a recent update. As you can see in my case, even a 10m hill is more or less digestible now, I think a 100m one should be just perfect.
