8 NAVIGATION
8.1 Using GPS
Suunto Ambit3 Peak 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 Ambit3 Peak is optimized for wrist
use and receives data from a very wide angle.
8.1.1 Getting GPS signal
Suunto Ambit3 Peak activates GPS automatically when you select a
sport mode with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or start
navigating.
35
used it for a long time, it might take longer than usual to get a GPS fix.
NOTE: When you activate GPS for the first time, or have not
Subsequent GPS starts will take less time.
TIP: To minimize GPS initiation time, hold the watch steady
with GPS facing up and make sure you are in an open area so that the
watch has a clear view of the sky.
Troubleshooting: No GPS signal
•
For an optimal signal, point the GPS part of the watch upwards. The
best signal can be received in an open area with a clear view of the
sky.
•
The GPS receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin
covers. However, objects, buildings, dense vegetation or cloudy
weather can reduce the GPS signal reception quality.
•
GPS signal does not penetrate any solid constructions or water.
Therefore do not try to activate GPS for example inside buildings,
caves, or under water.
8.1.2 GPS grids and position formats
Grids are lines on a map that define the coordinate system used on the
map.
Position format is the way the GPS receiver's position is displayed on the
watch. All the formats relate to the same location, they only express it in a
different way. You can change the position format in the watch settings
under GENERAL / Format / Position format.
36
You can select the format from the following grids:
•
latitude/longitude is the most commonly used grid and has three
different formats:
o
WGS84 Hd.d°
o
WGS84 Hd°m.m'
o
WGS84 Hd°m's.s
•
UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) gives a two-dimensional
horizontal position presentation.
•
MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) is an extension of UTM
and consists of a grid zone designator, 100,000-meter square
identifier and a numerical location.
Suunto Ambit3 Peak also supports the following local grids:
•
British (BNG)
•
Finnish (ETRS-TM35FIN)
•
Finnish (KKJ)
•
Irish (IG)
•
Swedish (RT90)
•
Swiss (CH1903)
•
UTM NAD27 Alaska
•
UTM NAD27 Conus
•
UTM NAD83
•
New Zealand (NZTM2000)
NOTE: Some grids cannot be used in the areas north of 84°N
and south of 80°S, or outside the countries that they are intended for.
37
8.1.3 GPS accuracy and power saving
When customizing sport modes, you can define the GPS fix interval
using the GPS accuracy setting in Movescount. The shorter the
interval, the better the accuracy during exercise.
By increasing the interval and lowering the accuracy, you can
extend the battery life.
The GPS accuracy options are:
•
Best: ~ 1 sec fix interval, highest power consumption
•
Good: ~ 5 sec fix interval, moderate power consumption
•
OK: ~ 60 sec fix interval, lowest power consumption
•
Off: no GPS fix

a location as a POI. You can navigate to a saved POI anytime, for
example, during your exercise.

9 USING ALTI & BARO MODE
In ALTI & BARO mode you can view the current altitude or barometric
pressure. It offers three profiles: Automatic, Barometer and
Altimeter. For information on setting profiles, see 9.4.1 Setting
profiles.
You can access different views depending on which profile is activated
when you are in ALTI & BARO mode.
Sunrise and sunset time views are available when GPS has been
activated. If GPS is not active, sunrise and sunset times are based on
the last recorded GPS data.
9.1 How Alti & Baro works
To get correct readings with ALTI & BARO mode, it is important to
understand how Suunto Ambit3 Peak calculates altitude and sea level
air pressure. Suunto Ambit3 Peak constantly measures absolute air
pressure. Based on this measurement and reference values, it
calculates altitude or sea level air pressure.
sand. Never insert any objects into the sensor openings.
CAUTION: Keep the area around the sensor free of dirt and
55
9.2 Getting correct readings
If you are engaged in an outdoor activity that requires accurate sea level
air pressure or altitude, you will first need to calibrate your Suunto
Ambit3 Peak by entering either your current altitude or the current sea
level air pressure.
The altitude of your location can be found from most topographic maps
or Google Earth. A sea level air pressure reference for your location can
be found using the websites of national weather services.
If FusedAlti

calibration. For more information, see 9.8 FusedAlti.
Absolute air pressure is measured constantly
Absolute air pressure and known altitude reference = Sea level air
pressure
TM
is activated, the altitude reading will be corrected
56
Absolute air pressure and known sea level air pressure = Altitude
Changes in local weather conditions will affect altitude readings. If local
weather changes often, it is advisable to reset the current
altitude reference value frequently, preferably before starting your
journey when the reference values are available. As long as the local
weather stays stable, you do not need to set reference values.
9.3 Getting incorrect readings
ALTIMETER profile + standing still + weather change
If your Altimeter profile is on for an extended period of time with the
device in a fixed location while the local weather changes, the device
will give incorrect altitude readings.
ALTIMETER profile + altitude moving + weather change
If your Altimeter profile is on and the weather changes frequently while
you climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device will give you
incorrect readings.
BAROMETER profile + altitude moving
If the Barometer profile is on for an extended period of time as you
climb in altitude or go down in altitude, the device assumes that you are
standing still and interprets your changes in altitude as changes in sea
level air pressure. It will therefore give you incorrect sea level air
pressure readings.
57
Use example: Setting the altitude reference value
You’re on the second day of your two-day hike. You realize that you
forgot to switch from the Barometer profile to the Altimeter profile
when you started moving in the morning.You know that the current
altitude readings given by your Suunto Ambit3 Peak are wrong. So, you
hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which
an altitude reference value is provided. You correct your Suunto Ambit3
Peak altitude reference value accordingly and switch from Barometer
to Altimeter profile. Your altitude readings are correct again.
9.4 Matching profile to activity
The Altimeter profile should be selected when your outdoor activity
involves changes in altitude (e.g. hiking in hilly terrain).
The Barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor activity
does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing, canoeing).
To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity.
You can either let Suunto Ambit3 Peak decide a suitable profile for the
activity, or choose a profile yourself.

reading because your body temperature will affect the initial
9.6 Using Barometer profile
The Barometer profile shows the current sea level air pressure. This is
based on the reference values added in the settings and the constantly
measured absolute air pressure. For information on setting the
reference values, see 9.4.2 Setting reference values.
Changes in the sea level air pressure are presented graphically in the
middle row of the display. The display shows the recording of the last

reading.
61
When the Barometer profile is activated, the barometer icon is shown
on the display. For information on setting the ALTI & BARO profile, see
9.4.1 Setting profiles.
When the Barometer profile is activated, Suunto Ambit3 Peak shows you
the following barometric information:
•
top row: the current sea level air pressure
•
middle row: a graph displaying sea level pressure data from the
past 27 hours (1h recording interval)
•
bottom row: toggle between temperature, time and altitude
reference value with [View]
Altitude reference is the latest altitude used in ALTI & BARO mode. It
can be:
•
the altitude you have set as altitude reference in the Barometer
profile, or
•
the latest altitude logged in the Automatic profile before
changing to the Barometer profile.
62
NOTE: If you are wearing your Suunto Ambit3 Peak on your
wrist, you will need to take it off in order to get an accurate temperature
reading because your body temperature will affect the initial
reading.
9.7 Using Automatic profile
The Automatic profile switches between the Altimeter and Barometer
profiles according to your movements. When the Automatic profile is
active, the device will automatically switch between interpreting changes
in air pressure as changes in altitude or changes in weather.
It is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same
time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto
Ambit3 Peak senses vertical movement and switches to measuring
altitude, when needed. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a
maximum delay of 10 seconds.
If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical
movement within 12 minutes), Suunto Ambit3 Peak interprets all
pressure changes as weather changes. The measurement interval is
10 seconds. The altitude reading remains steady and if the weather
changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading.
63
If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement
within 3 minutes), Suunto Ambit3 Peak interprets all pressure changes
as movements in altitude.
Depending on which profile is active, you can access the Altimeter
or Barometer profile views with [View].
NOTE: When you are using the Automatic profile, barometer
or
altimeter icons are not shown on the display.

barometric altitude and ~ is shown with the altitude reading to indicate
that the altitude may not be correct.
66
9.9 Weather indicators
In addition to the barometer graph (see 9.6 Using Barometer
Suunto Ambit3 Peak has two weather indicators: weather trend and storm
alarm.
The weather trend indicator is displayed as a view in TIME mode,
providing you a quick way to check weather changes.
The weather trend indicator is comprised of two lines forming an arrow.
Each line represents a 3-hour period. A change in barometric pressure
greater than 2 hPa / 0.59 inHg over three hours triggers a change the
direction of the arrow. For example:

profile),
67
A significant drop in barometric pressure typically means a storm is
coming and you should take cover. When the storm alarm is active,
Suunto Ambit3 Peak sounds an alarm and flashes a storm symbol
when the pressure drops 4 hPa / 0.12 inHg or more during a 3-hour
period.
NOTE: The storm alarm does not work if you have altimeter
profile activated. See 9.4.1 Setting profiles.

2. Scroll to ALTI-BARO with [Light Lock] and enter with [Next].
3. Press [Next] to select Storm alarm.
4. Set the storm alarm On or Off with with [Start Stop] or [Light
Lock] and accept with [Next].
68
When a storm alarm occurs, pressing any button ends the alarm. If no
button is pressed, the alarm repeats once after five minutes. The storm
symbol remains on the display until the weather conditions stabilize
(pressure drop slows down).
A special lap (called 'storm alarm') is generated when a storm alarm
occurs while recording an exercise.
TIP: You can also activate or deactivate the storm alarm
through the options menu in a sport mode.
69
10 USING 3D COMPASS
Suunto Ambit3 Peak has a 3D compass that allows you to orient
yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass
gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally
level.
COMPASS mode includes the following information:
•
middle row: compass heading in degrees
•
bottom row: toggle between the current heading in cardinal (N, S,
W, E) and half-cardinal (NE, NW, SE, SW) points, time and empty
view with [View]
The compass will switch itself to power saving mode after one
minute. Reactivate it with [Start Stop].
For information on using compass during exercise, see 11.6.5 Using
compass during exercise
.
10.1 Calibrating compass

71
10.2 Setting declination value
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.magneticdeclination.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. Press [Next] to enter GENERAL.
3. Scroll to Compass using [Light Lock] and select with [Next].
