The sport mode you are using needs to have GPS enabled to be able to access the
navigation options. If the sport mode GPS accuracy is OK or Good, when you select a route or
POI, the GPS accuracy is changed to Best.
To navigate during exercise:
1. Create a route or POI in Suunto Movescount and sync your watch if you haven't done so
already.
2. Select a sport mode that uses GPS and then swipe up or press the lower button to open
the options. Alternatively, start your recording first, and then keep the middle button
pressed to open the sport mode options.
3. Scroll to Navigation and tap the setting or press the middle button.
4. Swipe up and down or press the upper and lower buttons to select a navigation option
and press the middle button.
5. Select the route or POI you want to navigate and press the middle button. Then press the
upper button to start navigating.
If you have not started the exercise recording yet, the last step takes you back to the sport
mode options. Scroll up to the start view and start your recording as normal.
While exercising, swipe right or press the middle button to scroll to the navigation display
where you will see the route or POI that you selected. For more information on the navigation
display, see 3.25.2. Navigating to a POI and 3.29. Routes.
While in this display you can swipe up or press the lower button to open your navigation
options. From the navigation options, you can, for example, select a different route or POI,
check your current location coordinates, as well as end navigation by selecting Breadcrumb.
3.27.3. Sport mode power saving options
To extend battery life while using sport modes with GPS, your biggest gains come from
adjusting GPS accuracy (see 3.16. GPS accuracy and power saving). To extend battery life
further, you can adjust use the following power saving options:
•
Display color: by default, the display uses the full range of colors available. When you
enable the Low color option, the display uses fewer colors which reduces the amount of
battery power needed.
•
Display timeout: normally, the display is always on during your exercise. When you turn on
the display timeout, the display turns off after 10 seconds to save battery power. Press any
button to turn the display back on.
To activate power saving options:
1. Before you start an exercise recording, swipe up or press the lower button to open the
sport mode options.
2. Scroll down to Power saving and tap the setting or press the middle button.
3. Adjust the power saving options as you want and then swipe right or keep the middle
button pressed to exit the power saving options.
4. Scroll back up to the start view and start your exercise as normal.
NOTE: If the display timeout is on, you can still get mobile notifications as well as sound
and vibration alerts. Other visual aids such as the autopause pop-up are not shown.
