displayed in your personal information. Here you can also manage them and decide
if they can be presented to all other community users or just to limited groups.
When you have uploaded logs to SuuntoSports.com, you can create charts from
the dive related data in the logs. You can also publish your logs and compare
them with other users’ logs.
The My Suunto section also contains a personal calendar that you can use to mark
personal events and other useful information.
Communities
In the Communities section, SuuntoSports.com users can form or search groups
and manage their own groups. For example, you can create a group for all your
diving friends, and share information about each other’s trips, give advice and
discuss where and when you could go diving together. Groups can be either open
or closed—closed groups mean that you have to apply for a membership and be
accepted, before you can participate in group activities.
All groups have a home page that displays information about group e vents and
includes news, noticeboard and other information. Group members can also use
group-specifi c bulletin boards, chat rooms and group calendars, and add links
and create group activities.
Sport Forums
SuuntoSports.com has its own forum for each Suunto sport. The basic features
and functions are the same for all sport forums—sport-specifi c news, bulletin
boards and chat rooms. Users can also suggest links to sports-related sites and
tips regarding the sport and equipment to be published on the site, or publish their
own travel reports.
Sport forums include presentations of the resorts that are related to the sport.
Users can rank the resorts with comments and the results are published ne xt to
the resort information. A ranking list can also be created for other things—for
example, where are the best diving sites, what group has most members, who has
uploaded most logs, and so on.
