Suunto X10 [58/98] Find home

3.7.3. Mark Home

With Mark Home function you can store a position where you wish to return. After

storing the position, you can start searching for it with the Find Home function.

To store a position:

1. In the Function menu, scroll to Mark Home and press

ENTER. The Mark Home display opens.

2. If the GPS is on, the device displays the EPE (Estimated

Position Error) right away. When the EPE = 1m and the

GPS signal strength indicator shows 5 bars, the position is

stored automatically. You can accept a less accurate

position by pressing ENTER.

3. If the GPS is initially off, it is automatically activated when

you select the Mark Home function. In this case the location

is only stored after the GPS gets the current location coordinates and can display

the EPE. This might take some time.

4. When the EPE is small enough, the location is marked automatically. You can also

press enter to manually mark the location before the EPE is small enough for the

automatic marking. However, this way the location information will be less accurate.

5. When the home position has been successfully stored, the unit displays

‘WAYPOINT STORED’. If you don’t see this message, mark the home position

again to be sure that you have the correct position stored in the unit.

6. To exit the display and interrupt the function, press STOP/BACK.

NOTE: Suunto X10 uses the GPS for guidance when you are moving. When you

stand still, the compass bearing shows you the direction to the marked position.

NOTE: The home position is automatically stored when the epe is 1 m and the GPS

signal bar shows 5 boxes. You can accept a less accurate position by pressing the

ENTER in the coordinate display. After successfully storing the home position X10

displays ‘WAYPOINT STORED’.

3.7.4. Find Home

The Find Home function guides you back to the position you last marked with Mark

Home. The display is updated according to the selected GPS fix interval. The 1

second setting updates the display constantly. The 1 minute setting updates the

display once every minute and when you long press STOP/BACK. The manual setting

updates the display every time you long press STOP/BACK.
