Direct line navigation to POI for a pilot
-
Hello all,
I have a question about Suunto Race navigation and can’t get any proper response from the Suunto help line. I am a paragliding pilot in the Alps and do an awful lot of climb and fly. Sometimes there is fog in the valley and I need to fly by GPS to find the landing site. My old Suunto Ambit allowed me to fly a direct line to the POI (landing site) and give me the direction to fly, an indication whether I’m left or right of track and distance to the POI. I can’t find this feature on the Suunto Race. All I have is a map and a red triangle which seems to be stuck in one position, and a blue triangle which indicates correctly the north.Can anyone help ? Thank you ! -

Having got more to grips with the Race nav I can still not find any indication whether I’m left or right of track, which my old Suunto Ambit provided. This is vital information if you can’t see anything and are in the vicinity of mountains. I also find that the watch has to be horizontal to navigate. When paragliding my wrist is vertical and the navigation is all screwed up. I’m very disappointed !
