10 USING 3D COMPASS
Suunto Ambit3 Peak has a 3D compass that allows you to orient
yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass
gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally
level.
COMPASS mode includes the following information:
•
middle row: compass heading in degrees
•
bottom row: toggle between the current heading in cardinal (N, S,
W, E) and half-cardinal (NE, NW, SE, SW) points, time and empty
view with [View]
The compass will switch itself to power saving mode after one
minute. Reactivate it with [Start Stop].
For information on using compass during exercise, see 11.6.5 Using
compass during exercise .
10.1 Calibrating compass
COMPASS mode asks you to calibrate the compass before you start
using it. If you have already calibrated the compass and want to re-
calibrate it, you can access the calibration option in the options menu.
