Altimeter Settings

Select Setup > Altimeter.
Auto Calibration: Automatically calibrates the altimeter
each time the device is turned on.
Barometer Mode: 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 only change 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: 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.

to the next point on the route when you are within a
specified distance of your current point.
Lock On Road: Locks the blue triangle, which represents
your position on the map, onto the nearest road.

Profiles

Profiles are a collection of settings that optimize your
device based on how you are using it. For example,
the settings and views are different when you use the
device for hunting than when geocaching.
When you are using a profile and you change settings,
such as data fields or units of measurement, the
changes are saved automatically as part of the profile.
