SET THE SEA-LEVEL PRESSURE

Sea level pressure can change relative to location. To achieve accurate altitude readings, set the sea-level pressure value before every trip. Check the newspaper, local news station, trail marker, or weather forecast for local readings, and always select the reading nearest to your present location.
