Connect your Suunto account to Livelox

This guide describes how you connect an account from Suunto's app with your Livelox account. By doing do, routes that you record with your Suunto GPS watch will automatically be synchronized with Livelox.

How to do it

  • You record a route with your GPS watch from Suunto.
  • When the recording is finished, make sure that it synchronizes to the Suunto mobile app.
  • Suunto sends your route to Livelox. It is ready after a few seconds.
  • Livelox does its best to connect the route to a class in a Livelox event (training or competition) based on the geography of the route and any uploaded start times or results. If the route is not automatically connected you can edit the route under My activities and connect it to the right class.

In order for it to work, you need:

  • A GPS watch from Suunto.
  • A Livelox account.
  • A mobile phone with the Suunto app installed.

To set up an account

  1. If not already logged in, log in with your Livelox account. Then go to My user account from the menu in the top right corner of the screen.
  2. Scroll down the page until you locate the section Connections to route-providing applications. Click on the Suunto link and on the next page Connect to Suunto.
  3. You are redirected to Suunto. If needed, log in with your Suunto credentials.
  4. Accept the data sharing terms to allow Livelox and Suunto to connect.
  5. Select the types of activities you want to import, and the level of automation.
  6. Save the settings. You can change these settings later if you need to.
  7. Finished! Your future routes will be imported from Suunto to Livelox.

A few things to note:

  • The routes that you recorded before you connected Suunto to Livelox are not synchronized to Livelox. Such routes need to be uploaded via a file in the Suunto app or Livelox.
  • Routes that are deleted or changed in the Suunto app after they have been transferred to Livelox won't automatically be updated in Livelox. You have to edit/delete them in Livelox as well. This is a feature that unfortunately is missing in Suunto's API.
  • All routes will be transferred to Livelox, even the ones marked private in the Suunto app. Suunto's API doesn't contain information about route privacy.
