To get a more precise reading from GPS altitude, comparable to
what you can get from barometric altitude, you need additional
sources of data like a gyroscope or Doppler radar to adjust GPS
altitude.
Because Suunto Spartan Sport relies solely on GPS to measure
altitude, if the GPS is not set for maximum accuracy, any filtering is
subject to error and may result in potentially inaccurate altitude
readings.
If you need good elevation readings, ensure your GPS accuracy is set
to Best during the recording.
However, even with the best accuracy, GPS altitude should not be
considered an absolute position. It is an estimation of your real
elevation, and the accuracy of this estimation is heavily dependent
on the surrounding conditions.
3.4 Backlight
The backlight has two modes: automatic and toggle. In automatic
mode, the backlight comes on with any screen touch or button
press.
In toggle mode, you turn the backlight on with a two-finger tap.
The backlight stays on until you tap with two fingers again.
By default, the backlight is in automatic mode. You can change the
backlight mode as well as the backlight brightness from the settings
under General » Backlight.
