Points of interest

A point of interest, or POI, is a special location, such as camping spot or vista along a trail, you can save and navigate to later. You can create POIs in Suunto app from a map and do not have to be at the POI location. Creating a POI in your watch is done by saving your current location.

Each POI is defined by:

  • POI name
  • POI type
  • Date and time created
  • Latitude
  • Longitude
  • Elevation

You can store up to 250 POIs in your watch.

Adding and deleting POIs

You can add a POI to your watch either with Suunto app or by saving your current location in the watch.

If you are outside with your watch and come across a spot you want to save as a POI, you can add the location directly in your watch.

To add a POI with your watch:

  1. Swipe up or turn the crown and select Navigation.
  2. From the map display, press the upper button.
  3. Select Your location by pressing the crown.
  4. Wait for the watch to activate GPS and find your location.
  5. When the watch displays your latitude and longitude, press the upper button to save your location as a POI and select the POI type.
  6. By default the POI name is the same as the POI type (with a running number after it). You can edit the name later in Suunto app.

Deleting POIs

You can remove a POI by deleting the POI from the POI list in the watch or removing it in Suunto app.

To delete a POI in your watch:

  1. Swipe up or turn the crown and select Navigation.
  2. From the map display, press the upper button.
  3. Select Navigation target.
  4. Scroll to POIs and press the crown.
  5. Scroll to the POI you want to remove from the watch and press the crown.
  6. Scroll to the end of the details and select Delete.

When you delete a POI from your watch, the POI is not permanently deleted.

To permanently delete a POI, you need to delete the POI in Suunto app.

Navigating to a POI

You can navigate to any POI that is in your watch POI list.

NOTE:

When navigating to a POI, your watch uses full power GPS.

NOTE:

If you only navigate to the POI without recording an exercise, nothing will be saved or logged in Suunto app.

The POI navigation has two views:

  • map view showing your current location relative to the POI and your breadcrumb trail (the track you have traveled)

    POI map view S9PP

  • POI view with direction indicator and distance to the POI

    POI detail view S9PP

Turn the crown to switch between views.
