Suunto M9 is designed to provide cruising and racing sailors relevant information while sailing so that they can concentrate more on increasing their performance and on making right decisions.
While cruising, the Suunto M9 delivers useful navigational information and helps to keep the boat on the correct course. Up to 50 routes and 500 waypoints can be stored in the units memory. The quick access to the MOB-feature allows quick reaction to a Man Over Board -rescue situation during a race, the unit gives the advantage of a better start by calculating the correct start line bias each time the wind direction is updated. It also displays the distance to the start line in connection with the start timer to help cross the line at the right moment. After start, the unit helps discover changes in wind direction on upwind legs and keeps track of laylines for optimum tacking around the buoys.
In addition to a GPS receiver, the Suunto M9 also includes a chronometer with time sync from the GPS satellites, a graphical barometer with 7 day memory and a tilt compensated compass.
DEEPER UNDERSTANDING
The Suunto Sail Manager software links the Suunto M9 to a PC and makes navigation much easier by visualizing the routes and sailed tracks on ARCS marine charts. The routes can be planned in advance on the PC and then uploaded in to the Suunto M9. The Suunto Sail Manager allows to upload specific race tracks to the unit even though correct positions of the turn buoys are not known. It serves as a valuable tool for analyzing the data that the M9 has registered and stored while in action and helps to discover what in the user's performance needs to be improved.
