Calibrate Altimeter
Because the GPSmap 60CS relies on the Barometric pressure to determine
the elevation and the pressure at any given elevation can fl uctuate, you
can calibrate the altimeter to increase its accuracy. You must know the
elevation or pressure at your current location, use a reliable source.
To manually calibrate the altimeter:
1. Use the ROCKER key to access the Options Menu.
2. Highlight the "Calibrate Altimeter" option and press ENTER to
display the Calibration Page.
3. At the message "Do You Know The Correct Elevation?" high-
light the "Yes" button and press ENTER. If you don't know
the elevation, select "No" to use pressure option. If you don't
know the pressure, select "No" to use the default GPS elevation.
4. On the number keyboard, use the ROCKER key to enter the
new elevation or pressure, then highlight "OK" and press
ENTER to return to the Altimeter Page.
