8.1 Using GPS

Suunto Ambit 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 Ambit is optimized for wrist use and receives
data from a very wide angle.

8.1.1 Getting GPS signal

Suunto Ambit activates GPS automatically when you select an exercise mode
with the GPS functionality, determine your location, or start navigating.
