3.6NAVIGATION MODE

3.6.1 Main Display

When you select the Navigation mode, the main display opens. Suunto M9 displays the direction to the destination with a circle on the outer rim of the display. The upper part of the display shows fixed sighting marks and a bearing indicator represented by a circle. When the bearing indicator is inside the sighting marks, you are moving in the direction of the set bearing.

The bearing indicator moves in a 120-degree arc in the upper part of the display. If the direction of the unit deviates more than this from the tracked bearing, the unit prompts the direction where to turn the unit with arrows. Once the circle appears on top of the display, the accurate bearing can be tracked again.

The main display has three rows:

Waypoint/Route: When Navigate is on, the first row displays the name and number of the navigated waypoint. If Navigate is off, the name of the activated route is dis- played.

Heading/Length: When Navigate is on, the second row displays the heading in degrees. If Navigate is off, the total length of the activated route is displayed.

NOTE: If the GPS is off the unit always displays the selected route and total length.
