Vertical Mode example

You are heli-skiing in Banff on a run estimated at 2,700 vertical
feet 214 vertical meters). Curious about the accuracy of the
estimate as well as how long it will take you to make your run,
you start your GPS-3D Sensor, navigate to Vertical Mode and
press START as you take off down the mountain. At the end of
your run, you press STOP and then DISPLAY until you see
Ascent Rate and Elevation (expressed in a negative number since
you traveled downhill). Use this information to see how fast you
skiied and compare the Watch's expressed elevation to your
guide's estimate.

Finish Mode functions

Finish Mode allows you to predict how much time it will take you
to finish a specified distance based on current GPS-3D Sensor
data. To help you stay on pace for your predicted finish, you can
also set the Watch to alert you if you are moving either too quickly
or too slowly for your desired pace.
NOTE: If you do not use the GPS-3D Sensor, Finish Mode
operates identically to Chronograph Mode, displaying only
time and lap information.
You must reset the chronograph to zero prior to operating
Finish Mode or it will not operate properly.
