So, you hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic map for which an altitude reference value is provided. You correct your Suunto Ambit altitude reference value accordingly and switch from Barometer to Altimeter profile.

  • Page 52: Setting Profiles

    To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit decide a suitable profile for the activity, or choose a profile yourself. NOTE: You can define the profile as part of the custom mode settings in Movescount, or in your Suunto Ambit.
