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 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 X9 cannot make out the direction just from the GPS reading and therefore it uses the compass.

Waypoint:

When Navigate is on, the first row displays the name and number of the navigated waypoint. If Navigate is off, it displays the position where the GPS was first activated (this point is named START).

Distance to waypoint:

When the GPS is on, the second row displays the distance to the next waypoint.

Shortcuts:

The third row displays alternatively the time, bearing (bea) or estimated time to waypoint (ttw). Change the displayed information with STOP/BACK. You can select a shortcut from the NaviData function to replace the ttw. (For more information, see
