Saving Altitude Readings in Memory
The following describes the different types of records the watch creates for altitude readings.
•You can take manual altitude readings, which are stored in memory along with the date (year, month, day) of the reading. There is enough memory to hold up to 20 altitude records (readings).
•The Altimeter Mode has a stopwatch (which is independent of the watch’s Stopwatch Mode) that you can use to time your climbs. While the Altimeter Mode stopwatch is running, the watch takes altitude readings automatically (without storing them in memory). Each time you reset the Altimeter Mode stopwatch to all zeros, the highest altitude, lowest altitude, cumulative ascent, and cumulative descent achieved during the last Altimeter Mode stopwatch session are stored in a “current stopwatch session record”.
•A separate “historical record” keeps track of the highest altitude, lowest altitude, cumulative ascent, and cumulative descent of all past Altimeter Mode stopwatch sessions.
