What do you expect from the next update?

@Stefan-Kersting It was like that until December (until “temporary” removal). I myself have some older maps with contour lines that I simply haven’t updated. Which was visible in my earlier photo.

As you can see, they are very clear and readable and it is logical that there is something to complain about.

@Stefan-Kersting Grrrrgh. Is KOMO (Knowledge Of Missing Out) a thing?

Thanks.

Do you have other Norwegian map areas downloaded, also with 1km zoom?

I’m wondering what Suunto’s map detail criteria are.

Stefan Kersting

@Fenr1r just Nordland, Troms and Finnmark

…When on a hike and several days in the mountains you have to use a old school map…

This is 100% accurate. I love the fact the maps can zoom out now and if I’m in back country I WOULD NEVER be without a paper map and compass. The mapping on the watch would always be in addition to, never a full replacement.

Redundancy is key to survival.

@Todd-Danielczyk how many likes is it possible to give on this response best regards, geographer

See, I knew I liked you for a reason!

Our backgrounds require us to be friends (but I also really love the photos you take and your EPIC adventures, so there is that!)

@Todd-Danielczyk little bit off topic with passion for geosciences and maps

I was out in Chamonix this week and missed this conversation on contour lines - luckily I have an example to contribute

This week I climbed Mont Blanc via Trois Monts route. We left Cosmiques 1am for a nice early alpine start, conditions were great. On the slope of Mont Maudit though, we went up little more to the left in the direction of the peak, not the col. I checked the watch, realized we’re probably steering way too much to the left and after short discussion we corrected. Yay, points for Vertical!

…except it was not so easy. At 200m zoom level all I saw was that we’re in the middle of the slope. At 500m all I saw was a dotted line from OSM where the route likely goes, and that we’re somewhat to the left of it. As everyone knows, navigating on glaciated slope in this exact situation by blindly following a breadcrumb trail is very stupid and a sure path to danger, so I was not keen to make many decisions based on it.

If there were contour lines at 500m zoom, it would have been a two second glance on the watch to realize where the peak is and where the col is given contour lines. That’s really what I feel everyone is asking for in terms of user experience from an adventure watch. Instead it was faff to figure it out.

@Stefan-Kersting some maps still have those contour lines at higher zoom levels - I’ve seen it myself. I am very happy for you that you have them for maps you care about, but vast majority of the maps don’t. I also think those of us who’ve experienced contours at 500m saw that responsiveness of the UI with contour is not much of an issue (mine were fairly usable at 2km zoom as well, which is unnecessary TBH).

@dreamer_ I agree with your arguments. I would propose that contour lines at higher zoom levels on the adventure watch - Vertical (accepting less responsive UI if that’s the price), and no contour lines with super responsive maps for the trail running watch - Race - would make the most sense. However I understand how negatively that division might be viewed, but IMHO trail running usecases are limiting the potential of SV.

@slurpnik Very well put.

Perhaps a new widget with tidal forecast , in respect within You’re location
24 hour forecast

-Widget with routes
-not pop up messages in nav mode

tooth navigation customize "tap"on the fly (ETA - ETE - pace - etch )

@Stefan-Kersting Hello Stefan I think we are perfectly aligned
See my post : https://forum.suunto.com/topic/11310/valuate-the-x-on-the-map-and-offer-the-possibility-to-save-it-as-a-poi-or-to-go-to-it-in-bearing-mode/2?_=1722932936286
and do tell me if it was your idea also

Suunto offer the possibility to visualize the distance and the angle so direction from the map, why not to have an option to decide that this is the bearing direction and to point the compass to it ???

vinc14

Tidal forecast too!
Option to upload my own POI file to the watch.

EdCaballer

-The option to add data fields like time or speed at the navigation screen
-An alarm if you go out of the track even if you have the sounds off. if you are riding with the watch on your bar you dont feel the vibration!!!

Tides graph is necessary in vertical
Thanks!

Suunto is cooking up a major update. What are you most looking forward to? There’s nothing official in this list, some features will probably be released, but there’s also my personal guess. If you see anything else, don’t hesitate to add

There is an urgent need for live tracking and emergency alerts.

SvenSchroeter

@the_ultraman I would really like some form of live tracking aswell… mostly for the sanity of my wife
