The first update, available at the end of September via Movescount.com, will include:

  • On-screen route navigation
  • Online routes to download
  • Location displays in 14 local grid references (includes US, UK and key European countries
  • Plus chrono, GPS time keeping, a constant backlight and five new languages (Italian, Portugese, Dutch, Finnish and Swedish)

With this update, users will be able to download routes online or input their own waypoints. Out on the trails, users will be able to see their route in real time, including their start point, position and more importantly, the route ahead.

The second launch, planned for November, will offer users new training features such as interval timer and compatibility for the Suunto Foot POD and ANT+, as well as the ability to download community-created features for even greater customization.
