Altitude/Elevation

Post by Generall »

Hallo!
Is it possible to set an elevation of the starting point or to correct the elevation data?

My powerpod shows 100m - acctualy i live on 330m above sea level.

Thanks

In Isaac, you can correct the starting elevation with the command "Analyze/Analyze Device Settings/Starting Elevation".

Note that PP actually measures barometric pressure and from that infers elevation; thus, when weather changes, starting elevation changes.

The value of the baro sensor is to provide elevation profiles and cumulative elevation gains, both of which are correct, independent of starting elevation.
