8.1 Using GPS

Suunto Ambit2 uses Global Positioning System (GPS) in determining

your current position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites that orbit

the Earth at an altitude of 20,000 km at the speed of 4 km/s.

The built-in GPS receiver in Suunto Ambit2 is optimized for wrist

use and receives data from a very wide angle.

8.1.1 Getting GPS signal

Suunto Ambit2 activates GPS automatically when you select a sport

mode with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or start

navigating.
