PNI V6000 - Frequently Asked Questions

the effect of weather condition and cabin
pressure changes must be minimized in order
for altitude readings to be most accurate.
Will my weather forecast and barometric
pressure readings be accurate if my altitude
is changing?
The PNI V6000 predicts the weather based
on changes in pressure. In addition to
changes in weather and cabin pressure,
pressure also varies depending on altitude.
A change of ±50ft in altitude can make the
weather forecast inaccurate. Therefore, to
obtain an accurate weather forecast when
you are changing altitude, make sure you
recalibrate the pressure sensor for that
altitude. When recalibrating for a new
altitude, weather forecasts may not be
accurate for 24 hours. As a guideline,
we recommend using the altitude function
while traveling and the barometer and
weather forecast function while the vehicle
is stationary or is within ±30 feet of the
last calibrated altitude setting for the last 24
hours.
Why would my altimeter reading change
from one day to another when my vehicle is
parked at the same location?
Even slight weather changes can cause altitude
