Compass and Altimeter
PN-40 only
The PN-40 comes equipped with two sensors; an
electronic compass and a barometric altimeter
The electronic compass works when the PN-40 is
stationary or moving at less than 1.5 miles per hour.
The compass readings calculated from GPS
information are accurate only when the device is
moving.
The barometric altimeter uses the known elevation and
barometric pressure to provide more accurate elevation
readings than the calculated GPS elevation provides.
Changes in weather patterns and geographic locations can
cause errors in sensor readings. Calibrating the sensors
ensures that they record and display accurate data on the
device and record accurate data in the track file.
