4. SUUNTO X10 IN ACTION 4.1. MONT BLANC CLIMBING In this chapter you will follow an American mountaineer on his independent two-day trip to the summit of Mont Blanc along the Gouter route. In the previous chapters you have acquired theoretical knowledge on how to use all the Suunto X10 functions and in this chapter you will find out how to apply that knowledge in the field. 4.1.1. Arrival and initial preparations It is a sunny afternoon when Mike Mountaineer arrives in Col De Voza, France.
4.1.2. First hiking day While starting to hike, he sets the GPS fix to 1 sec in the Activity mode and selects as the Activity option. He chooses the 1 sec option because he wants the GPS to update the information as often as possible. Although this option also consumes a lot of battery power, he knows that the battery will still last throughout his 4-hour hike. He lets the GPS gather data from the satellites for 10 minutes while he tightens his shoelaces, checks his backpack and puts on his harness.
As he enjoys the beautiful scenery on his hike towards Glacier de Tete Rousse, he also notices that clouds are dispersing from the sky, which gives him a reason to suspect that the barometric pressure has changed. After arriving at Refuge l'Aig du Gouter, Mike sets the Baro mode on so that the barometric pressure changes do not affect the altitude readings anymore. Before hitting the sack, Mike plans out the next day's activities. He needs to get up early because he has a long way to travel.
4.1.3. Second hiking day Right on time, Mike wakes up to a beeping sound, shuts down the alarm with a press of a button, and checks the Baro mode. He is happy to notice that the barometric pressure is on the rise, which augurs good weather.
Mike has planned the trip carefully, trained meticulously on easier cliffs, purchased proper equipment and learned how to use it. He is now ready for the arduous journey that will take him to the top.
4.2. CROSS COUNTRY RUNNING This section describes a typical way to use your Suunto X10 in such sports activities as running or cycling, where speed and distance information is needed more often than navigation. Early Sunday morning, Roger Runner wakes up to the beep of his Suunto X10. It is time for his 30km run, one of the most important training sessions on his preparation for the Mont Blanc trail marathon. After breakfast, he fills his hydration pack, puts on his running shoes and is ready to go.
5. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) Suunto X10 uses Global Positioning System (GPS) in determining the user's position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites that orbit the Earth at the altitude of 20 000 km at the speed of 4 km/s. The satellites send relatively weak radio signals at power levels comparable to normal household light bulbs. Because the GPS signals that reach the Earth are thousands of times weaker than e.g.
If possible, stay clear from people, trees or other dense vegetation when activating the GPS. They can cause problems to the signal reception. If you are in a forest, try to find an open or scarcely wooded area before activating the GPS. • Rocks, buildings or any metallic materials The GPS signals will not penetrate any solid constructions. Therefore do not try to activate the GPS inside caves, buildings or any other equivalent constructions.
activate the receiver more quickly, if you turned it off in between. Some downloaded data remains valid for several weeks, and subsequent GPS starts will take less time. STRIVE FOR IDEAL ACCURACY CONDITIONS Under all-in-view satellite conditions a global average horizontal positioning error is 7.8 meters (95% confidence level).
