Once you’ve done that, it unlocks the feature.

That only takes a second to complete this: However, when you tap on it, you’ll see that you need to zip over to the Hammerhead Dashboard/site to authenticate your Suunto account – in the same way you’d connect to Strava or TrainingPeaks.

Once you’ve updated your Karoo, you’ll see a new option in the menu for Suunto Heatmaps:
FITBIT CONNECT DOWNLOAD FOR MAC UPDATE
In order to do this you’re gonna need to do things:Ī) Update your Hammerhead Karoo to the latest firmware (as of today)Ĭ) Connect your Hammerhead account to your Suunto accountĪfter which, you can then download the heatmaps you want. Hammerhead Heatmaps:įirst up is the ability to add heatmaps to your Hammerhead Karoo. This essentially populates your Suunto App with Hammerhead data, but also updates aspects like training load and even pushes those workouts to 3rd party platforms not supported natively by Hammerhead (such as Today’s Plan). Meanwhile, on the activity sync, any completed rides that you do on your Hammerhead Karoo series will automatically upload to Suunto’s platform, once you’ve connected your account. These heatmaps act as a layer atop the existing map, allowing you to decide which countries/states you want to download in terms of both the base maps, but also the heatmap layer.

I used it this past weekend to do some freestyle routing nearish to my planned route, all without ever stopping to fidget with other maps or devices. The new heatmaps are a massive step up not just for Hammerhead, but compared to any other heatmap/popularity type solution I’ve seen on-device. This first step puts heatmaps onto the Hammerhead Karoo series, while concurrently sending completed Karoo rides to Suunto’s platform (as if you completed them with a Suunto watch). Hammerhead and Suunto have just announced what they describe as potentially the first step towards a deeper partnership and collaboration.
