Logbook marks

You can add marks to the logbook file and record the information about the altitude of a specific point and time. This can only be done in Hiking mode. The maximum number of marks in each file is 10.

To add a mark, short press Start when the logbook is running. A long press activates the backlight and no logbook mark is made. The marks are added in the logbook file and they can be viewed through the file list (refer to chapter 3.5.2.). When you have added the marks, the message “mark point saved” is displayed.

When you have saved the marks, the PC can create a profile that connects them with a line. With this feature you can, for example, create a simplified altitude profile of your trip. You can also use marks to compare the difference in time and altitude between two points of the trip. (Compare with the Differ function on chapter 3.5.1.)

3.5.3. Use

With the Use function you can define whether the air pressure measurement is used to set the altitude or to represent the weather conditions. For more information, refer to chapter 3.3.2.

3.5.4. Altitude

With this function you can set the reference altitude. For more information about the reference altitude, refer to chapter 3.3.3.

3.5.5. Alarms

The altitude alarm is intended to warn you if you pass the preset altitude limit. The ascent/descent alarm, in its turn, warns you if your ascent/descent rate is faster than the preset rate. When the alarm sounds, you can acknowledge it by pressing any button.
