s9 compass

[gerasimos]

i wish the excellent suunto D5 compass functions (degrees, bearing etc…) could be implement direct into the suunto 9 using also the ability to use in exercise mode and not only in navigation menu.

Hi @gerasimos

Just 2 notes

• Your suggestion is related to the watch and not to Suunto app, so it should be created in the correct section (I’m going to move it )
• This feature was already suggested, maybe it will be added in the future

@sartoric massive!!!
im not the only one tranditional guy hahaha…with breadcrumb and poi you dont need a compass indeed…but when you need to modify the route from a destroyed path from physical conditions and the cellphone has no singnal and you have paper map for (back up and emergency situations), during the exerscise it would be very useful this tool feature…mainly in deep forest with very tall trees you have no visibility for a refence point…!!
-sorry for my english are very bad like garmin watches !!!

-analog compass is always the best solution! but i have it also in the watch and is very easy/fast/reliable to use
…(but not in exercise mode)

thanks again!
