Altimeter Settings
Select
.- Auto Calibration
-
Automatically calibrates the altimeter each time the device is turned on. The device continues to automatically calibrate the altimeter as long as the device has GPS signals acquired.
- 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 can be useful 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
-
Allows you to calibrate the barometric altimeter if you know the correct elevation or the correct barometric pressure. See Calibrating the Barometric Altimeter.
