magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North are not at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass. The angle in between magnetic and true north is your declination. The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination value can be obtained from the internet (for example www.magnetic-declination.com). Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north.

If you temporarily lose the GPS signal, for example, Suunto Ambit3 Run is able to continue showing accurate speed readings with the help of the GPS calibrated accelerometer.
12 10 8 km/h 6 sec 30 60 GPS 90 120 FusedSpeed TIP: To get the most accurate readings with FusedSpeed, only glance shortly at the watch when needed. Holding the watch in front of you without moving it reduces the accuracy. FusedSpeed is automatically enabled for running and other similar types of activities, such as orienteering, floor ball and football (soccer). To enable FusedSpeed for a custom sport mode, ensure you select an activity that uses FusedSpeed.

The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit3 Run is optimized for wrist use and receives data from a very wide angle. 3.20.1 Getting GPS signal Suunto Ambit3 Run 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.
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.
MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) is an extension of UTM and consists of a grid zone designator, 100,000-meter square identifier and a numerical location.

Foot POD auto calibration is on by default. It can be turned off in the sport mode options menu under ACTIVATE, if the foot POD is paired and is used for the selected sport mode. For more accurate speed and distance measurements, you can manually calibrate the foot POD. Perform the calibration on an accurately measured distance, for instance, on a 400 meter running track. To calibrate foot POD with Suunto Ambit3 Run: 1. Attach foot POD to your shoe.
NOTE: If the foot POD connection was unstable during the calibration exercise, you might not be able to adjust the distance in the distance summary. Make sure that foot POD is attached properly according to instructions and try again. If you are running without a foot POD, you can still get running cadence from the your wrist.
