Suunto M9_en.p65 manual Routes, Creating a new route

Page 39

Right arrow: Activates the route for navigating in the correct order, from beginning or active waypoint to the end

Left arrow: Activates the route for navigating in the reversed order, from the end or from the active waypoint to the beginning

Dot: Activates the navigation to a single chosen waypoint on the selected route

Dash: Selected route is not active and activates the navigation to the location of the first GPS fix after turning on the GPS, instead of from the route start point

NOTE: When navigating to a single waypoint, the unit does not automatically change to the next waypoint. This must be done manually. In normal route navigation, the unit automatically switches to the next waypoint when the vessel arrives inside a radius of 50 meters of the waypoint or passes at a distance larger than 100 meters of the perpendicular line to the route that goes through the waypoint.
