Altimeter Setup
The Altimeter Setup Page allows you to setup the
altimeter to self-calibrate each time you turn on
the unit, to function as a barometer, or to manually
calibrate when you have accurate elevation or
pressure data.
To set up the Altimeter:
1. On the Setup Menu Page, highlight the
Altimeter icon, and press ENTER.
2. Highlight the Auto Calibration field, and press
ENTER to select from on or off. When on,
elevation is corrected by the GPS receiver.
3. Highlight the Barometer Mode field, and press
ENTER to select Variable Elevation (used
when moving) or Fixed Elevation (used when
stationary, allowing the Altimeter to function
as a standard barometer). Trip data is not
recorded when in Fixed Elevation mode.
To manually calibrate the Altimeter:
1. Highlight the Calibrate Altimeter button, and
press ENTER. You can calibrate the Altimeter
using one of three methods:
Enter the correct elevation: this requires a
reliable source for determining the elevation
for your current location.
Enter the correct pressure: this requires
a reliable source to determine the accurate
barometric pressure at your current location.
