Title: Calibrate the altimeter in feet or meters?
Post by: coopso on March 22, 2015, 09:48:22 AM

Hi folks

I have my orux units set to feet. Can someone confirm that the calibration of the altimeter respects that option?

The answer should be yes but I think I have seen that the field should be input in meters.

Thanks!

Hi,

Always in the units you have established (except error).

Thanks for the reply! In my limited testing, entering the known altitude in feet (in the altimeter calibration field) resulted in the wrong altitude brook shown in the dashboard... Entering in meters gave the right altitude.
