Displayed vs Recorded Elevation Values
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2021 9:46 pm
Hello everyone.
My Oregon 700 got used, for 1 month it worked well in mtb, measuring even more ascent than friends with the Edge, then I don't know if it was the upgrade to 5.30 or other, but it measures less and less like 1250m+ vs 1450m+ ( Edge 1030), or 44m+ vs 144m+ !!! and it often happens that it marks 1070m+ in the dashboard and only 896m+ on the recorded both 1 second and auto high frequency.
now I use GPS + GLONASS settings, barometer calibration ONCE.
I also have an Edge 800 and it shows altitude changes much faster and far less wrong, Oregon 30 seconds.
I tried to restore the old firmware 4.70 , full reset but it doesn't seem to change anything.
According to Garmin, if the barometer was broken, it would read -20000m.
Tomorrow I try the firmware 5.20
thank you
