France Since the time zone in France differs from the one in California he asks the locals what time it is changes the time in his Suunto X9i and sets the Californian time as the Dual time for reference Had he shown a bit more initiative he could have checked what the UTC difference in France is beforehand and adjusted it accordingly Then the GPS would have synchronized the time automatically However Mike can adjust the time pretty quickly since on his recent trip to Nepal he had to do it manually anyway because Suunto X9i cannot adjust the UTC to a 15 minute reading interval which is required in Nepal He checks the time and has plenty of time to catch the train to Gare He locates the correct platform There he checks the current altitude on the map and changes the Suunto X9i s reference altitude to 1 653 meters in the Alti Baro mode Since he is going to be on the move for a while he sets the Alti mode on with the Use function so that he can monitor the altitude changes en route The train trip is relaxing and he lets his eyes absorb the picturesque landscape while he talks with fellow travelers When he arrives in Gare he checks the altitude reading and confirms that it is exactly 2 372 meters just like the map says 60 4 1 2 First hiking day While starting to hike he sets the GPS fix to 1 sec in the Activity mode and selects p gt as the Activity option He chooses the 1 sec option because he wants the GPS to update the info
26. OSITION MEASUREMENT Using the GPS receiver of your Suunto X9i is very easy For more information on the actual usage see Section 3 7 1 However ensuring good position measurement is a bit trickier This section contains instructions on how to achieve the best possible results MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE BEST LINE OF SIGHT CONNECTION AVAILABLE To ensure faster and more reliable position measurement there must be a line of sight connection between the satellites and the receiver This means that the objects or materials between the satellites and the GPS receiver must not excessively attenuate the signal The list below displays the possible line of sight conditions from the best to the worst e Open area with a clear view to the sky The best connection is acquired when there is an unobstructed view to the sky eee you should always activate the GPS on fields hills and other open areas if possible Relatively thin plastic fabric or wooden covers The receiver usually works well inside tents and other thin covers e Water containing objects 65 If possible stay clear from people trees or other dense vegetation when activating the GPS They can cause problems to the signal reception If you are in a forest try to find an open or scarcely wooded area before activating the GPS e Rocks buildings or any metallic materials The GPS signals will not penetrate any solid constructions Therefore do not try to activate the GPS inside caves buildings or
