Suunto Race User Guide

Points of interest

A point of interest, or POI, is a special location, such as camping spot or vista along a trail, you can save and navigate to later. You can create POIs in Suunto app from a map and do not have to be at the POI location. Creating a POI in your watch is done by saving your current location.

Each POI is defined by:

• POI name
• POI type
• Date and time created
• Latitude
• Longitude
• Elevation

You can store up to 250 POIs in your watch.

Adding and deleting POIs

You can add a POI to your watch either with Suunto app or by saving your current location in the watch.

If you are outside with your watch and come across a spot you want to save as a POI, you can add the location directly in your watch.

To add a POI with your watch:

1. Swipe up or turn the crown and select Map.
2. From the map display, press the lower button.
3. Select Your location and press the crown.
4. Wait for the watch to activate GPS and find your location.
5. When the watch displays your latitude and longitude, press the upper button to save your location as a POI and select the POI type.
6. By default the POI name is the same as the POI type (with a running number after it). You can edit the name later in Suunto app.

Deleting POIs

You can remove a POI by deleting the POI from the POI list in the watch or removing it in Suunto app.

To delete a POI in your watch:

1. Swipe up or turn the crown and select Map.
2. From the map display, press the lower button.
3. Select POIs and press the crown.
4. Scroll to the POI you want to remove from the watch and press the crown.
5. Scroll to the end of the details and select Delete.

When you delete a POI from your watch, the POI is not permanently deleted.

To permanently delete a POI, you need to delete the POI in Suunto app.

Navigating to a POI

You can navigate to any POI that is in your watch POI list.

To navigate to a POI:

1. Swipe up or turn the crown and select Map.
2. From the map display, press the lower button.
3. Select POIs and press the crown.
4. Scroll to the POI you want to navigate to and press the crown.
5. Press the upper button or tap Select.

6. Select Start exercise if you want to use the POI for exercising or select Navigate only if you only want to navigate to the POI.

   NOTE:

   If you only navigate to the POI, nothing will be saved or logged in Suunto app.

7. If you only navigate the route, press the lower button and select End navigation to stop navigating. If you navigate during an exercise, press the lower button and select Breadcrumb to stop navigating without quitting the exercise.

The POI navigation has two views:

• POI view with direction indicator and distance to the POI

  

• map view showing your current location relative to the POI and your breadcrumb trail (the track you have traveled)

  

Press the crown to switch between views.

In the map view, other POIs nearby are shown in gray. In the map view, you can adjust the zoom level by turning the crown.

While navigating, you can press the lower button to open the navigation menu. The menu gives you quick access to POI details and actions such as saving your current location or selecting another POI to navigate to, as well as ending navigation.
