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 is small enough, the device stores a position.

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.To exit the display and interrupt the function, press STOP/BACK.

NOTE: Suunto X9 uses the GPS for guidance when you are moving. When you stand still, the compass bearing shows you the direction to the marked position.

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.
