And I saw another issue about the route…
The route became alive, it’s became a triangle and move to different direction
-
@zhang965 yes, looks like the same issue. Does the missing piece appear if you zoom out to 500m?
-
@twekkel I agree. Today, went on a 2 hour hike , we grabbed some lunch and wanted to explore the map on my watch. But the screen stayed black (just like this morning after installing it) because I didn’t have a fix inside. This is poor user experience. It could easily use last known location and still search in the background while letting me pan around on the pretty map.
-
@seanvk The last location is not a good idea IMHO, I often run 20k to 50k from home and that would be a problem for me. I can imagine many other scenarios as well. I personally have not had any map issues in over a month in 3 different US states. I think at this time the map issues are infrequent based on the information I have.
-
@Brad_Olwin Understand. I’m just used to that from other devices. It’s a bit surprising for me. I’ll agree that last known location can rapidly lose relevancy over time and distance.
-
@seanvk The map problem I hope is very limited. Suunto will get this taken care of quickly.
-
At first, I hadn’t any map issue. First activity OK. And during a test, bam no map despite a GPS fix. Soft reset make it back.
About GPS fix needed. I would also vote for being able to see the map, either with latest known GPS postion, or even being able to focus on a POI. Select a POI on the watch, you have a map around it : you can explore the map around.
Last point, navigating to a POI doesn’t show any direction on the map screen?? Need to switch from MAP to compass view. While just a little blue arrow on the map would be good.

@surfboomerang
Idea can be extended to routes as well : select a route, no GPS fix or far from this route, then being able to explore the map around that route
. -
@Mff73 Yes, it would be great! I’m a bit disappointed that i can’t see the map without a GPS fix.
-
To see the map without GPS you already have your phone, why would I want to see the map randomly on such a small screen? Map’s for navigation on the watch, not to play.
-
@isazi Points of view…
-
@isazi for using your watch, you always need to bring your phone too?
Browsing quickly on the map to see what is still ahead of you makes perfect sense to me (while indoors warming up, without GPS fix).
-
@isazi maybe to check if map works for routes on different location (on vacation 1000km away)?
-
@isazi
Adventure first. Now maps are there, why limit their usage just to the initial use case. Vertical has map, and potentially enormous battery duration : imagine your phone dying or running out of battery…
It is not just playing on our couch (yes, today it is), or checking that map download is correct in another area where you won’t have Internet and charger to redownload it, etc…
So, feature request, just that -
@renton82 Agree. Would be nice to preview a map on the watch without gps. I don’t always bring a phone and trying hard to disconnect more often.
-
@Likarnik Not only 1000km away. I noticed a map glitch on a route 50km from my home. Only way I noticed it was by following the route and be surprised by it.
Even if I had checked it at the location and noticed it right before the start of the route, re-downloading it wasn’t possible because I don’t have a charger with me.Checking it upfront from home would be great.
