* '''How far did I run?''' This is the most basic question, and the Ambit2 has good GPS accuracy, so this is one thing it does well.
* '''How fast am I running?''' Knowing how fast you're running can be a nice to know, or it can be vital for your training or race performance. Because of the nature of GPS, watches that rely on GPS signal alone tend to have serious problems with current pace. Without the ability to display current [[Pace From A Footpod]] while getting all other data from GPS, the Ambit2 can't answer this question very well. It does better than most watches that rely purely on GPS as it has good accuracy and the Suunto FuseSpeed may help a tiny bit. (That said, I frequently see the Ambit2 out by more than a minute/mile).
* '''Where am I? '''The Ambit3 Ambit2 has some basic navigation functions.
** '''Course Outline'''. This is an outline of a route that can be downloaded. I've found this useful during ultras or in unfamiliar cities where I've needed to know where to go. Note that there's no "Track Outline" which displays where you've been.
** '''Back To Start'''. This is a simple arrow point to your starting point, so it won't help you backtrack.
