@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

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 forecastBr.
-
-Widget with routes
-not pop up messages in nav mode- tooth navigation customize "tap"on the fly (ETA - ETE - pace - etch )
- mirroring route in real time with SUUNTO app
-
@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 alsoSuunto 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 ???
-
- Tidal forecast too!
- Option to upload my own POI file to the watch.
-
-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! -
- Different backlight settings (high, low, medium) per activity upon wrist turn.
- Possibility to activate/deactivate backlight depending on sunset/sunrise

@Frederick-Rochette said in What do you expect from the next update?:
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.
-
@the_ultraman I would really like some form of live tracking aswell… mostly for the sanity of my wife
-
- Heart rate transmission to other plattforms (e.g. ZWIFT)
- More Sensor connections
- Beeing able to connct the Suunot HR Sensor to more than one device
-
Multiple LAP time set in chronometer mode
-
More backlight controls in “Exercise options.”
Currently it’s just on or off (more precisely “On” and “Normal”). I have both “Standby” and “Raise to wake” turned off in the general settings. I’d like to be able to turn on just raise to wake for night activities without having to have the backlight on all the time. AMOLEDs have full display options for activities. Why not us MIPs?
-
My top wishes are still the same :
- 5sec bip countdown before next step when using native structured workouts, and rep counter
A new one after my first 100miles trail running :
- setting clock alarm during exercise
-
Im hoping for something similar to climbpro on Garmin, or whatever Hammerhead has on their Karoo unit - the ability to show graded elevation and what is coming up, and your location on the climb, without having to have downloaded a route first.
I use my Karoo 2 for road and gravel and absolutely rely on this feature. Almost thinking of taking it with my trail running.
-
@mikekoski490 hum with no route loaded ? I really can’t imagine how it could work on trail running ? When on a trail there are so much bifurcations that app would never now.
