Using 3D compass
Suunto Ambit2 has a 3D compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the compass is not horizontally level.
Compass mode includes the following information:
- middle row: compass heading in degrees
- bottom row: toggle between the current heading in cardinal (N, S, W, E) and half-cardinal (NE, NW, SE, SW) points, time and empty view with View

The compass will switch itself to power saving mode after one minute. Reactivate it with Start Stop.
