4.3 SUUNTOSPORTS.COM

SuuntoSports.com is an international free Web community where you can refine and share the data that you have measured with your personal Suunto instrument and analyzed with the sport-specific PC interface. SuuntoSports.com offers you a number of features that help you to get the most out of your sport and your Suunto M9.

If you already own a personal Suunto sports instrument you can access all sport- specific functions through registration. If you do not have an instrument yet, you may either log in as a guest or register yourself. As a guest you can view and read, but registration gives you the right to use other functions and participate to discussions.
