10 USING 3D COMPASS
Suunto Ambit2 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

10.1 Calibrating compass
COMPASS mode asks you to calibrate the compass before you start
using it. If you have already calibrated the compass and want to re-
calibrate it, you can access the calibration option in the options
menu.
