3.3.5. Reference altitude
To ensure that the altimeter shows correct readings, you first
need to set an accurate reference altitude. To do this, go to a
location whose altitude you have checked, for example, with
the help of a topographical map, and set the reference altitude
to match the map reading
.
NOTE: If you do not know the current altitude, go to the
Position display and check the altitude with the GPS. The
longer the GPS is on, the more accurate the altitude reading
will be.
