8.1 Using GPS
Suunto Ambit uses Global Positioning System (GPS) in determining 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 Ambit is optimized for wrist use and receives
data from a very wide angle.
