3.5.1. Using the Navigation mode
This section contains a brief guide on how to use the Navigation mode. You can find
more detailed instructions in the sections below.
To use the Navigation mode:
1. Create a route either on Suunto X10 or using Suunto Trek Manager and transfer it to
Suunto X10 (section 3.5.3. Creating a route).
2. Select a route (3.5.4.).
3. Activate the first Waypoint (3.5.4.).
4. Choose the preferred navigation method (3.5.4).
5. Start Activity by choosing (3.6.2).
6. Start navigating.
3.5.2. Main display
When you select the Navigation mode, the main display
opens.
The display is updated according to the selected GPS fix
interval. The fix interval is set in the Activity mode. The 1 sec
setting updates the display constantly. The 1 min 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.
The main display has three rows and a circular bearing
indicator:
Direction to waypoint
If the GPS is on and it has a satellite fix, the upper part of the display has fixed sighting
marks and a circular bearing indicator that shows the direction to the next wp. When
the bearing indicator is inside the sighting marks, you are moving in the direction of the
set bearing.
The circle is closed (completely black) when you navigate using the GPS, and it is
open when you use the compass. At slow speeds (when walking) Suunto X10 cannot
make out the direction just from the GPS reading and therefore it uses the compass.
