- 3.10.5 Recording tracks
- 3.10.6 Making laps
- NOTE: The exercise summary always shows at least one lap, your exercise from start to finish. The laps you have made during the exercise are shown as additional laps.
- NOTE: If the GPS accuracy setting (see 3.23.3 GPS accuracy and power saving) of your sport mode is Good or lower, while navigating GPS accuracy switches to Best. Battery consumption is therefore higher.
- 3.10.9 Setting altitude during exercise
- 3.11 Find back
- 3.12 Firmware updates
- 3.13 FusedAlti
- NOTE: By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation. When GPS is switched off, altitude is measured with the barometric sensor.
- NOTE: In good conditions it takes 4 – 12 minutes for FusedAlti to activate. During that time, Suunto Traverse shows barometric altitude and ~ is shown with the altitude reading to indicate that the altitude may not be correct.

- TIP: You can also check your location while you are recording an exercise by keeping [Next] pressed to access the options menu.
- TIP: You can create POIs in Movescount by selecting a location on a map or inserting the coordinates. POIs in your Suunto Traverse and in Movescount are always synchronized when you connect the watch to Movescount.
- You can quickly save your current location as a POI by long pressing the View button. This can be done from any mode.

Troubleshooting: No GPS signal
•
For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards. The
best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view of the
sky.
•
The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin
covers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloudy
weather can reduce the GPS signal reception quality.
•
GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water.
Therefore do not try to activate GPS for example inside buildings,
caves, or under water.
3.23.2 GPS grids and position formats
Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used on the
map.
Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on
the watch. All the formats relate to the same location, they only express
it in a different way. You can change the position format in the watch
settings under GENERAL » Format » Position format.
You can select the format from the following grids:
•
latitude/longitude is the most commonly used grid and has three
different formats:
o
WGS84 Hd.d°
o
WGS84 Hd°m.m'
o
WGS84 Hd°m's.s
•
UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) gives a two-dimensional
horizontal position presentation.
