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:
You can store up to 250 POIs in your watch.
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:
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:
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.
You can navigate to any POI that is in your watch POI list.
When navigating to a POI, your watch uses full power GPS.
To navigate to a POI:
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.
If you only navigate to the POI, nothing will be saved or logged in Suunto app.
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:

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