Suunto X10
The earth is your playground
The Suunto X10 is an intelligent and durable wristop computer that builds on Suunto's 10 years of experience in creating cutting-edge outdoor devices. With the improved, faster GPS fixes - even under heavy foliage - and longer lasting battery power, you can navigate confidently and conveniently, while keeping your hands free. Once back at home, use the Suunto X10 to plot and share your treks on Google Earth™.
In addition to the altimeter, compass, and barometer use the GPS to better navigate to up to 500 waypoints throughout your journey. For added preparation, use the Suunto Trek Manager software before your journey to create routes and plan your journey.
During your hike, the Suunto X10 continuously checks the barometric pressure, so you can always stay one step ahead of the weather. You can also set the Suunto X10 to Activity Mode to record your speed, distance, and altitude information, and any memory points you define along the way. Once you reach your destination, set your Suunto X10 on Track Back mode to be guided back the way you came.
After your trek, connect your Suunto X10 to your PC and use Suunto Trek Manager to review your journey and visualize its altitude profiles. Use Suunto Track Exporter software to upload your journey to Google Earth™ where you can plot and show your progress and share it with family and fellow outdoor enthusiasts.
When everyone knows where you've been and how you got there, the pressure is on to find new places. With the Suunto X10, the earth is your playground.
