4.1.3.1. Snap to route
In urban surroundings the GPS can struggle to follow you correctly. If you select one of you
predefined routes and follow that route, the watch GPS is used purely to locate where you are
on the predefined route, not actually creating a track from the run. The recorded track will be
identical to the route used for the run.
To use Snap to route during exercise:
1. Create a route in Suunto app 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.
3. Scroll to Navigation and tap it or press the middle button.
4. Select Snap to route and press the middle button.
5. Select the route you want to use and press the middle button.
6. Press the upper button or tap Navigate.
Start your exercise as normal and follow the selected route.
4.1.4. Battery power management
Your Suunto 9 has a battery power management system uses intelligent battery technology to
help ensure you watch does not run out of power when you need it most.
Before you start recording an exercise (see 4.1. Recording an exercise) you see an estimate of
how much battery life you have left in the current battery mode.
There are four predefined battery modes; Performance (default), Endurance, Ultra and Tour.
Changing between these modes will change the lifetime of the battery but also change the
performance of the watch.
NOTE: By default, Ultra and Tour mode disable all HR tracking (both wrist and chest). To
enable HR tracking (in Ultra and Tour mode) go to Options under the start indicator.
While in the start display, tap Options » Battery mode to change battery modes and see how
each mode aects the performance of the watch.
