Direction to waypoint
If the GPS is on and it has a satellite fix, the upper part of the display has fixed sighting
marks and a circular bearing indicator that shows the direction to the next wp. When
the bearing indicator is inside the sighting marks, you are moving in the direction of the
set bearing.
The circle is closed (completely black) when you navigate using the GPS, and it is
open when you use the compass. At slow speeds (when walking) Suunto X9 cannot
make out the direction just from the GPS reading and therefore it uses the compass.
