3.21 Navigating with GPS
Suunto Ambit3 Sport uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) to
determine your current position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites
that orbit the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km at the speed of 4
km/s.
The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit3 Sport is optimized for
wrist use and receives data from a very wide angle.
3.21.1 Getting GPS signal
Suunto Ambit3 Sport 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.
