Keep moving in order for M460 to determine which direction you are going. An arrow will point in the direction
of your starting point.
To get back to the starting point, always turn in the direction of the arrow.
The M460 also shows the bearing and the direct distance (beeline) between you and the starting point.
When in unfamiliar surroundings, always keep a map at hand in case the M460 loses the satellite signal or the bat-
tery runs out.

BAROMETER

The barometer features include:
Altitude, ascent and descent
Temperature during training (can be viewed on the display)
Inclinometer
Altitude-compensated calories
M460 measures altitude with an atmospheric air pressure sensor and converts the measured air pressure into an alti-
tude reading. This is the most accurate way to measure altitude and altitude changes (ascent/descent) after cal-
ibration. Ascent and descent are shown in meters/feet. Uphill/downhill steepness is shown in percentages and grade.
To make sure that the altitude reading remains accurate, it needs to be calibrated whenever a reliable reference, such
as a peak or a topographic map, is available or when at sea level. Pressure variations due to weather conditions, or
indoor air-conditioning, may affect altitude readings.
The temperature shown is the temperature of your M460.
Altitude is automatically calibrated with GPS, and it will be shown in gray until it's calibrated. To get the most accur-
ate altitude readings, it's recommended to always calibrate altitude manually when you know your current altitude.
Manual calibration can be done in the pre-training view or in the training view quick menu. For more information, see
Quick
Menu.
