During the race

1. At the start of the race and when arriving at the aid stations, you will get a notification letting you know what you should consume between the current aid station and the next one.

The title of the notification is the five first letter of the current and next aid station. The message is the number of calories you should consume and an abbreviated name of the Näak products that you should consume to reach these calories.

2. After the notification disappears you can press on the main button to switch between views, there will be a view for the guide. The guide will show the same information as the notification but will also show how long you have left before reaching the next aid station. This timer is based on your objective time you have chosen in the Nutrition Calculator quiz.

3. A new notification will automatically appear when reaching the next aid station. This notification automatically appears when you arrive in a 200 meters radius of the aid station.

FAQ 

The Nutrition Calculator result is transformed in the Suunto Guide format and sent to your Suunto account. The GPS coordinate of each aid station is used as a trigger to start the next station on the watch.

No. The lap button can be pressed to manually start the next station, but the watch has the GPS coordinate of each aid station so it will automatically start the next one when you reach a 200 meter radius of the aid station.

The timer on the guide view only serves as a reference for your intended time. If it reaches 0, nothing will happen, it will stay at 0 until you reach the next aid station.
