Gps Grids And Position Formats - Suunto AMBIT2 User Manual

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.
TIP: To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the device steady with GPS facing
up and make sure you are in an open area so that the device has a clear view of
the sky.
Troubleshooting: No GPS signal
● For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the device 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. Therefore
do not try to activate GPS for example inside buildings, caves, or under
water.
● To recover from GPS failures, reset GPS (see Section 14.1 Service
menu on page 106).

8.1.2 GPS grids and position formats

Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used on the map.
Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on the device.
All the formats relate to the same location, they only express it in a different
way. For information on changing the position format, see Chapter 14 Adjusting
settings on page 102.
