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 Ambit3 Peak 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 Ambit3
Peak 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 Ambit3 Peak 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 Ambit3 Peak .
