Use example: Setting the altitude reference value
You’re on the second day of your two-day hike. You realize that
you forgot to switch from the Barometer profile to the Altimeter
profile when you started moving in the morning.You know that the
current altitude readings given by your Suunto Ambit2 are wrong.
So, you hike to the nearest location shown on your topographic
map for which an altitude reference value is provided. You correct
your Suunto Ambit2 altitude reference value accordingly and switch
from Barometer to Altimeter profile. Your altitude readings are
correct again.
9.4 Matching profile to activity
The Altimeter profile should be selected when your outdoor activity
involves changes in altitude (e.g. hiking in hilly terrain).
The Barometer profile should be selected when your outdoor
activity does not involve changes in altitude (e.g. soccer, sailing,
canoeing).
To get correct readings, you need to match the profile to your
activity. You can either let Suunto Ambit2 decide a suitable profile
for the activity, or choose a profile yourself.
NOTE: You can define the profile as part of the sport mode
settings in Movescount, or in your Suunto Ambit2 .
