Suunto Vertical's intuitive maps tell you all you need to know about the landscape. Contour lines, water, paths and other important landmarks are available in three different map styles. Paired with Suunto app’s advanced route planning tools, you’ll be ready for your Backyard Adventure.
No matter what directions you go, adventure awaits!
You don’t always need to travel far to find something unexpected, something you have not seen before. Simply spin a bottle and let that determine the bearing you’ll be heading. An adventure is guaranteed!
Suunto ambassadors Jakob Hermann and Philipp Reiter span the bottle – and ended up heading north, away from the Alps.
Play & win
Your next adventure starts right at your doorstep. No need to travel far, make big plans or take time off work. All you need is a day or two, a few good friends and the will to let loose!
1. Spin a bottle – or the digital Suunto compass
Let that determine the direction your adventure will lead you. No cheating, the first spin counts.
2. Pack your stuff
Set the direction on your watch or compass, and follow it, wherever it leads you.
3. Head in that direction for 2/12/24 hours
Example: You start in the morning and end the next morning. You don’t need to push through the night: sleeping outside is highly recommended!
4. Share your adventure

The most inspiring team wins three Suunto Vertical watches!
Tools for your adventure
Maps you can count on
Are you moving in a straight line?
Direct path SuuntoPlus sports app compares the distance you have travelled with the direct path from the start – or the latest lap point. This is handy for orienteers and open water swimmers but also during your Backyard Adventure! Add new SuuntoPlus features to your watch in Suunto app.
Set the direction and go!
Bearing navigation is an essential part of using a compass. In addition to using a mechanical hiking compass, like Suunto A-30, you can do bearing navigation with a Suunto GPS watch. Set the direction, distance and altitude and your watch will guide you there!
