Altimeter Settings

NOTE: The altimeter is available only with GPSMAP 64sx/csx devices.

Select Setup > Altimeter.

Auto Calibration: Automatically calibrates the altimeter each time the device is turned on.

Barometer Mode: Variable Elevation allows the barometer to measure changes in elevation while you are moving. Fixed Elevation assumes the device is stationary at a fixed elevation, so the barometric pressure should only change due to weather.

Pressure Trending: Sets how the device records pressure data. Save Always records all pressure data, which can be helpful when you are watching for pressure fronts.

Plot Type: Records elevation changes over a period of time or distance, records barometric pressure over a period of time, or records ambient pressure changes over a period of time.

Calibrate Altimeter: Calibrates the altimeter.
