and press ENTER (select 1 for most frequently used waypoint, other number for less
frequently used waypoints)

10.Suunto M9 will start guiding you to the selected waypoint.
If you wish to create routes, select Create in the routes menu . The creation of waypoints
and activating routes for navigation follows the guidelines above.
Note: Navigate must be set on. (See pages 22-23, Navigation mode.)
Note: MyPoints can contain up to 50 waypoints. Suunto M9 will name the waypoints with
the date when it was created. You can change the name of the Waypoint on a PC using
Suunto Sail Manager software.
Note: The very first time you initiate the GPS, it will take longer than usual for the GPS to
start, as it has no reference to its current location. This may also happen if the GPS has not
been used for a long time. Please activate your new Suunto M9 GPS at least once before
sailing out. Subsequent GPS starts will take less time. To minimize the GPS initiation time,
hold the unit steady in one position with the display facing up and make sure you are
located in an open area so that the unit has a clear view to the sky. After starting the GPS
(i.e. after it has a fix), the unit can be moved more freely without losing the connection to
the satellites. The signal strength bar on the unit's display indicates the fix. (See side leaf
of the front cover, Display and Buttons)
