Barometer Mode: Sets how the device measures barometric
information. Variable Elevation allows the barometer to
measure changes in elevation while you are moving. Fixed
Elevation assumes the device is stationary at a fixed
elevation, so the barometric pressure should change only
due to weather.
Pressure Trending: Sets how the device records pressure
data. Save Always records all pressure data, which can be
helpful when you are watching for pressure fronts.
Plot Type: Sets the type of data recorded and displayed in the
plot. Records elevation changes over a period of time or
distance, records barometric pressure over a period of time,
or records ambient pressure changes over a period of time.
Calibrate Altimeter: Calibrates the altimeter.
Marine Map Settings
Select Setup > Marine.
Marine Chart Mode: Sets the type of chart the device uses.
Nautical displays various map features in different colors so
the marine POIs are more readable and so the map reflects
the drawing scheme of paper charts. Fishing (requires marine
maps) displays a detailed view of bottom contours and depth
soundings and simplifies map presentation for optimal use
while fishing.
Appearance: Sets the appearance of marine navigation aids on
the map.
Marine Alarm Setup: Sets alarms for when you exceed a
specified drift distance while anchored, when you are off
course by a specified distance, and when you enter water of
a specific depth.
