Delorme pn-60w Manuel D’Utilisation

1. From the Satellite Page or the Compass Page, 

go to MENU > Calibrate > Calibrate Compass.

OR

From the Home Page, go to Settings > Compass 

& Altimeter > Calibrate > Calibrate Compass.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate 

the compass. 

There are three options for calibrating the altimeter. 

By default, the device is set to auto-calibrate the altimeter 

using GPS elevation; however, manual calibration using 

the known elevation or barometric pressure provides 

greater accuracy.

Auto-calibration uses the average GPS elevation as a 

basis for the barometric elevation. Adjustments are made 

to take into account changes over time in the barometric 

pressure, unrelated to changes in elevation. As the 

elevation adjusts (typically in 2-3 minutes), "Calibrating" 

displays in the bottom right corner of the Satellites Page. 

If you are using the Elevation: Barometer info fi eld on any 

page, it displays a red exclamation point.

Note that the unit settings used in the Known Elevation 

and Known Pressure fi elds are from the units set on 

your device. To change the units, go to Settings > 

Units > Pressure.

1. From the Satellite Page or the Compass Page, 

go to MENU > Calibrate > Calibrate Altimeter.

OR

From the Home Page, go to Settings > Compass 

& Altimeter > Calibrate > Calibrate Altimeter.

2. Select a calibration method.

» Known Elevation–The actual elevation 

at your location.

» Known Pressure–The barometric pressure 

(adjusted for sea level) for your location.

» GPS Elevation–The GPS elevation calculated 

by the device.
