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.
Altitudes measured in feet, display in 20-foot increments; while altitudes measured in meters,
display in 5-meter increments
Setting the Units of Measurement

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.
The altimeter screen displays --
showing the altitude in the
selected unit of measurement.
