Altimeter

The altimeter feature estimates your altitude based upon atmospheric pressure. You can also use the altimeter to display a relative change in height from one point to another.

Using the Altimeter

Press~ until ALTIMETR appears.

The altimeter screen displays --	b
showing the altitude in the	460 FT
selected unit of measurement.
	k lmnp

Altitudes measured in feet, display in 20-foot increments; while altitudes measured in meters, display in 5-meter increments

Setting the Units of Measurement

To set the units of measurement for the altimeter, select the ALTIMETR mode and the SETUNITS menu. Press x or z until your choice of FEET, K FEET (thousands of feet), METERS, or K METERS (kilometers) appears then press { to set.

Setting the Altimeter Level

Because the altimeter display is based upon atmospheric pressure, it is only an approximation of altitude above sea level. Therefore, it’s important to set the altimeter level to the correct altitude (if you know it) each time you head outdoors. Or, you can set your starting level to 0 so that the next altimeter display is the change in altitude relative to your starting point.

To set the altimeter level, select the ALTIMETR mode and the SETLEVEL menu. Press x or z to set the altimeter level to the correct height or press the ‰ button to set the level to 0.
