Goodbye Suunto, hello Garmin

@wakarimasen If you have magnets on your gear anywhere, that will cause the compass to need recalibrating. This happens to me all the time as I wear UltraSpire packs and they use magnets to hold pockets together and for the water tube from the bladder. On the Momentum 2 Pack the water bottle pockets are secured with magnets, every time I reach for water with my left hand (where my watch is) I have to recalibrate……arrrggghhh.
You may have a magnet on your gear somewhere. When the watch gets close enough the compass needs recalibrating.Vector/T6c/Vertical 2 Ti

Just remembered I had my hotel room card in my waist pack, guessing that was likely the problem as it had a magnetic strip on the back

@miniforklift Not sure that will do it, never has for me.
-
@miniforklift SA does not support settings or routes sync with “old” watches like Ambit3/Traverse
-
@brad_olwin Just curious, is there a way to use the compass during and activity?
-
@tyresej4 in navigation screen choose the bearing navigation and it will show the compass
-
@markytarky Lol but then you can’t use another navigation feature at the same time? Thanks for the tip.
-
@tyresej4 right, you cannot have route navigation and the compass at the same time. Well you have a north indicator on route, so you can make a calculation
-
@markytarky Well at least you can use 1 Suunto plus feature and 1 navigation feature at the same time.
