Change the location accuracy

When you are recording an exercise, Suunto 7 updates your location information every 1 second. To save battery power, you can change the GPS accuracy before or during your exercise.

The Location accuracy options are:

• Best: ~ 1 sec GPS fix interval, highest power consumption
• Good: ~ 10 sec GPS fix interval, moderate power consumption

If you select Good Location accuracy your battery will last longer during your outdoor workouts. For some sport modes such as running or cycling, FusedTrack™ is used to improve tracking quality. FusedTrack™ uses motion sensors to log your movement between the different GPS readings, which will provide better tracking of your exercise.

How to change the Location accuracy before an exercise:

1. Choose a sport mode for an outdoor activity with GPS like running, cycling or walking.
2. Scroll down and select Power saving » Location accuracy.
3. Change Location accuracy to Good.

How to change the Location accuracy during an exercise:

1. Keep the bottom button pressed or swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the menu.
2. Scroll down and select Power saving » Location accuracy.
3. Change Location accuracy to Good.

Change the display settings

By default, Display settings during exercise are set to off to optimize battery life.

Always-on map

If you are doing a workout where you need to see the map at all times, you can choose to keep the map on during exercise.

Good to remember:

• Keeping the screen on through the whole exercise significantly decreases the battery life.

• As image persistence or screen burn-in is normal behaviour for OLED displays, keeping your screen on for long periods of time affects the life span of your display.
