- 3.10.6 Making laps
- NOTE: The exercise summary always shows at least one lap, your exercise from start to finish. The laps you have made during the exercise are shown as additional laps.
- NOTE: If the GPS accuracy setting (see 3.23.3 GPS accuracy and power saving) of your sport mode is Good or lower, while navigating GPS accuracy switches to Best. Battery consumption is therefore higher.

- 3.11 Find back
- 3.12 Firmware updates
- 3.13 FusedAlti
- NOTE: By default, altitude is measured with FusedAlti during exercises that use GPS and during navigation. When GPS is switched off, altitude is measured with the barometric sensor.
- NOTE: In good conditions it takes 4 – 12 minutes for FusedAlti to activate. During that time, Suunto Traverse shows barometric altitude and ~ is shown with the altitude reading to indicate that the altitude may not be correct.

- TIP: With any move that is stored in Movescount, you can add pictures as well as create a Suunto Movie of the move using Suunto Movescount App.
- NOTE: You can change your Suunto Traverse general settings offline. Customizing sport modes and keeping time, date and GPS satellite data up to date require an internet connection over Wi-Fi or mobile network. Carrier data connection fees may apply.

- TIP: You can also check your location while you are recording an exercise by keeping [Next] pressed to access the options menu.
- TIP: You can create POIs in Movescount by selecting a location on a map or inserting the coordinates. POIs in your Suunto Traverse and in Movescount are always synchronized when you connect the watch to Movescount.
- You can quickly save your current location as a POI by long pressing the View button. This can be done from any mode.

3.7.2 Setting declination
To ensure correct compass readings, set an accurate declination
value.
Paper maps point to true north. Compasses, however, point to
magnetic north – a region above the Earth where the Earth’s
magnetic fields pull. Because magnetic North and true North are not
at the same location, you must set the declination on your compass.
The angle in between magnetic and true north is your declination.
The declination value appears on most maps. The location of magnetic
north changes yearly, so the most accurate and up-to-date declination
value can be obtained from the internet (for example www.magnetic-
declination.com).
Orienteering maps, however, are drawn in relation to magnetic north.
This means that when you are using orienteering maps you need to
turn the declination correction off by setting the declination value to 0
degrees.
To set the declination value:
1. Keep [Next] pressed to enter the options menu.
2. Scroll to NAVIGATION with
[Light] and select with [Next].
3. Scroll to Settings with [Light] and select with [Next].
4. Scroll to Compass with [Light] and select with [Next].
5. Scroll to Declination with [Light] and select with [Next].
6. Turn the declination off by selecting --, or select W (west) or E
