11.1 Using GPS
Suunto Ambit2 R 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 R is optimized for wrist use and
receives data from a very wide angle.
11.1.1 Getting GPS signal
Suunto Ambit2 R activates GPS automatically when you select a sport mode
with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or start navigating.
NOTE: When you activate GPS for the first time, or have not used it for a
long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPS fix. Subsequent GPS starts
will take less time.
