This is the ultimate tool for the cross-sports enthusiast who wants to plan his or her route carefully. The Suunto X9i wrist-top GPS is very compact. It's the world's smallest outdoor GPS. It is a well-designed and straightforward piece of gadgetry. The unit combines an advanced GPS system with a host of functions.
The system is particularly useful when exploring unfamiliar terrain, such as during long hikes, camping excursions, or back road cycling trips. It is inclusive of features like the altimeter, barometer, digital compass, thermometer, and several training tools. It is quite a versatile and powerful device that's prepared for almost any outdoor requirement. |
In addition to helping you plot routes, the X9i's GPS computer indicates the direction of an upcoming waypoint, calculates the remaining distance, and estimates the arrival time. Meanwhile, users who like to pace themselves while cycling or hiking will appreciate the "current speed" and "distance traveled" readings.
Safety always comes first when hiking in the wilderness, which is why the X9i comes with an altimeter to measure the altitude and vertical speed, a 3D digital compass, and a barometer that reads sea level pressure and absolute pressure. You can also program the alarm to sound you when you reach a specific altitude or warn you of upcoming storms. And should you find yourself stranded during inclement weather, the compass and altimeter will help guide you to safety. The sporty black wrist-top housing functions as a regular watch when you're not exercising. |
