3.7.3. Mark Home
With Mark Home function you can store a position where you wish to return. After
storing the position, you can start searching for it with the Find Home function.
To store a position:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to Mark Home and press
ENTER. The Mark Home display opens.
2. If the GPS is on, the device displays the EPE (Estimated
Position Error) right away. When the EPE = 1m and the
GPS signal strength indicator shows 5 bars, the position is
stored automatically. You can accept a less accurate
position by pressing ENTER.
3. If the GPS is initially off, it is automatically activated when
you select the Mark Home function. In this case the location is only stored after the
GPS gets the current location coordinates and can display the EPE. This might take
some time.
4. When the EPE is small enough, the location is marked automatically. You can also
press enter to manually mark the location before the EPE is small enough for the
automatic marking. However, this way the location information will be less accurate.
5. When the home position has been successfully stored, the unit displays
‘WAYPOINT STORED’. If you don’t see this message, mark the home position
again to be sure that you have the correct position stored in the unit.
6. To exit the display and interrupt the function, press STOP/BACK.
NOTE: Suunto X9i uses the GPS for guidance when you are moving. When you stand
still, the compass bearing shows you the direction to the marked position.
NOTE: The home position is automatically stored when the epe is 1 m and the GPS
signal bar shows 5 boxes. You can accept a less accurate position by pressing the
ENTER in the coordinate display. After successfully storing the home position X9i
displays ‘WAYPOINT STORED’.
3.7.4. Find Home
The Find Home function guides you back to the position you last marked with Mark
Home. The display is updated according to the selected GPS fix interval. The 1
second setting updates the display constantly. The 1 minute setting updates the
display once every minute and when you long press STOP/BACK. The manual setting
updates the display every time you long press STOP/BACK.
