Automatic alti-baro profile
Weather and altitude changes both cause a change in air pressure. To handle this, Suunto 9
automatically switches between interpreting changes in air pressure as altitude or weather
changes based on your movement.
If your watch senses vertical movement, it switches to measuring altitude. When you are
viewing the altitude graph, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within 12 minutes),
your watch interprets air pressure changes as weather changes and adjusts the barometer
graph accordingly.
6.1.1. Altimeter
Suunto 9 uses barometric pressure to measure altitude. To get accurate readings, you need
to define an altitude reference point. This can be your current elevation if you know the exact
value. Alternatively, you can use FusedAlti (see 6.4. FusedAlti) to set your reference point
automatically.
Set your reference point from the settings under Outdoor.
6.2. Altitude navigation
If you are navigating a route that has altitude information, you can also navigate based on
ascent and descent using the altitude profile display. While in the main navigation display
(where you see your route), swipe left or press the middle button to switch to the altitude
profile display.
The altitude profile display shows you the following information:
•
top: your current altitude
•
center: altitude
profile showing your current position
•
bottom: remaining ascent or descent (tap screen to change views)
If you stray too far o from the route while using altitude navigation, your watch will give you
an O route message in the altitude profile display. If you see this message, scroll to the
route navigation display to get back on track before continuing with altitude navigation.
6.3. Storm alarm
A
significant drop in barometric pressure typically means a storm is coming and you should
take cover. When the storm alarm is active, Suunto 9 sounds an alarm and displays a storm
symbol when the pressure drops 4 hPa (0.12 inHg) or more during a 3-hour period.
