Calibrating the Altimeter

Because the GPSMAP 60CSx relies on the barometric

pressure to determine the elevation, and the pressure

at any given elevation can fluctuate, you can calibrate

the altimeter to increase its accuracy. You must know

the elevation or pressure at your current location.

To manually calibrate the altimeter:

1. Press

MENU to open the Altimeter Page

Options Menu.

2. Highlight

Calibrate Altimeter, and press

ENTER to open the Calibration Page.

3. At the message “Do You Know The Correct

Elevation?” highlight the

Yes button, and press

ENTER.

OR

If you do not know the elevation, select

No to

use the pressure option. If you do not know

the pressure, select

No to use the default GPS

elevation.

4. Use the

ROCKER to enter the new elevation

or pressure, then highlight

OK and press

ENTER to return to the Altimeter Page.
