Suunto Unveils Web-based Route Planner

I can’t really find any more information on this, but Suunto has now a web-based route planner. How new is this? Is it any good? No idea yet, need to take it through its paces, but definitely worth a try. This was one of the key features that kept folks on their Strava subscription. I wonder too if this release has anything to do with Suunto’s lawsuit on the heels of Strava’s suit against Garmin?

Oh, let the great unbundling and re-bundling commence.

Updated with a statement from Suunto:

Christmas came early! We’re excited to introduce Suunto Routeplanner – a new web-based tool for creating your next outdoor adventure on a bigger screen.

Whether you’re hiking, trail running, cycling, or skiing, Suunto Routeplanner helps you plan with confidence.
…
Suunto Routeplanner complements the Suunto app on your phone – giving you a bigger screen to dream, plan, and build your next adventure!

Alright, so it’s Routeplanner and not route planner, I got that wrong. But either way. Great free tool for Suunto users. And a great incentive for folks looking to ditch Strava.
