What do you expect from the next update?

@Iggge said in What do you expect from the next update?:

@rooldaa No, because in my work I can’t use it since the new policy.

And no, am I not a Garmin fanboy
Would change back to Suunto in a heartbeat if it was like before.

Same, same and same here.

@Iggge New policy? What did I miss?

@maszop I totally disagree as well. I came from Garmin, I used them since the first Forerunner probably 20 years ago.

I have had far less trouble with the two Suunto GPD models I have owned where it counts (for me anyway) recording activities.

I had countless issues with a variety of Garmin products. Fenix Watches, Edge bike Computer and handheld GPS units.

I have stuck with Suunto as they just work for me. I’m not bother about steps, if the watch tells me to train, sleep, all day heart rate etc. I just want the watch to record my activity and help me navigate when needed.

I can’t fault the Vertical and the maps are light years ahead of the laggy maps on my last Fenix.

@GiPFELKiND maps are not related to watch firmware. I would like to see some improvements in maps too, like, besides contour lines, some names of the sumits and cities/towns

[GiPFELKiND]

@cosme-costa ah okay, thanks for this Info. Didnt know this

[2b2bff]

@Todd-Danielczyk So, essentially is Suunto a Chinese company now?

[Ghost]

@2b2bff off topic but yes, since 2019.

@Mountain Yes, but the previous owner let all R&D and all manufacturing happen in Finland, which was very very cool (and one of the main reason I bought a Suunto watch), but Suunto was bleeding money every year.

Nowadays, you have almost none of the Manufacturing (well, there is a few model, but pretty low volume), and less and less R&D.

@cosme-costa yes suunto know about the Problem. Thats right… But suunto also know about the missing contour lines in the bavarian alps. Over 500m zoomlevel. More than 16 month. Until today No solution. How long we have to wait?! How long YOU will wait? Let it be to make new Firmware --> correct the old one first and all known bugs… But if the 3.xxxxxx Firmware from the Suunto ow234 RUN will come we will have more bugs again

I am pretty sure you are checking the maps update for your region frequently but around one month ago, I think it was in December, there was maps update (at least for Sweden) where I got much more detailed contour lines. Have you checked it since? There were no publications/dedicated threads about that on this forum if I recall correctly.

[GiPFELKiND]

@rooldaa yes i checked it. There is no Maps update for Germany 🥴

@rooldaa There’s this post and thread: https://forum.suunto.com/post/159216, wherein Sweden was the latest.
