How to Export GPX from Suunto

5 min read

Suunto users often already have a good route source, but sometimes want a better preview before a ride, run, or hike. Exporting the route as a GPX file is the bridge into RoutePOV.

Once the file is exported, RoutePOV helps you inspect route feel in 3D terrain before the day begins.

Why use RoutePOV after Suunto

Suunto is excellent for training and route ecosystem management. RoutePOV solves a different problem: understanding the route visually in terrain before the trip.

That helps when the route includes significant elevation, a long approach, or sections where terrain familiarity would improve confidence and pacing.

Who benefits most from this workflow

Cyclists, runners, hikers, and adventure users can all benefit from seeing the route in terrain before committing to it.

The more the route depends on elevation, remoteness, or terrain feel, the more useful the RoutePOV preview becomes.
