published in a community is only visible to the members of the community. Communities can be either open or closed. To participate in the activities of a closed community, you first have to be invited or you have to apply for membership and be accepted.

All communities have a home page that lists the latest group activities such as news, discussions, events and recent logs. Community members can also use group-specific bulletin boards and calendars, create their own link lists and group activities. All registered SuuntoSports users become automatically members of the ‘World of SuuntoSports’ community.

7.5. SPORT FORUMS

Suunto users are active in many different sports. SuuntoSports.com has several Sports Forums that collect information to inform and inspire participants of these activities. All forums include sport-specific news, bulletin boards, event calendars, ranking lists and discussions. In the forums you can suggest links to sports-related websites and read travel reports written by other members.

Sport forums introduce interesting locations and resorts related to different sports. You can rank the resorts and suggest your own favorites. You can also view ranking lists from the SuuntoSports database by your own criteria, for example, the members who have visited the highest places, collected the most vertical climb or published the biggest number of logs, the communities with the most members, etc.

The information recorded with the Suunto X9 is shared in the Cross Sports forum, the area for all outdoor and endurance sports activities. In the Cross Sports forum and in the communities you can find routes created and published by other Suunto X9 users and download them for your personal use. Suunto also plans to publish coordinate information on interesting locations worldwide in the Cross Sports forum.
