pressure changes. You can unlock the Altitude Lock function at
any time simply by pressing any key. The Altitude Lock function
will automatically deactivate if it detects any major change in
pressure/altitude over a short period of time.

to memory the altitude of a particular location along with the date and time of the capture. The Axis is
capable of storing up to 20 individual Altitude Data Points.
