3.23.1  Getting GPS signal

Suunto Ambit3 Peak activates GPS automatically when you select a
sport mode with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or
start navigating.

 NOTE:

 When you activate GPS for the first time, or have not

used it for a long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPS

fix. Subsequent GPS starts will take less time.

 TIP:

 To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady with

GPS facing up and make sure you are in an open area so that the

watch has a clear view of the sky.

 TIP:

 Regularly synchronize your Suunto Ambit3 Peak with

Movescount to get the latest satellite orbit data. This reduces the

time needed to get the GPS fix and improves track accuracy.
