Possible real life situation: Keeping to a heading visually
You’re hiking and you’ve just climbed a steep hill. Looking out over the valley below,
you see a cabin on another hill. You decide to hike to the cabin through the valley.
You point the direction arrow of your Suunto Core compass towards the cabin and
lock the bearing. Once you’re in the valley, the arrows in the display’s top row show
you where to go. Because the compass is active for only 40 seconds at a time to
conserve battery life, now and then you need to re-start the compass to check your
heading. Keep an eye on it and you’ll get there soon.
