Bring Up The Altimeter On A Garmin Gps

At some point, you may want to view the altimeter display on your Garmin GPS. These instructions for locating the altimeter pertain to the RINO 120 in particular, but should be similar to other outdoor models.


Instructions


Finding the Altimeter Display








1. Press the "Page" button repeatedly to view your primary screens, until you reach the "Navigation" screen. You have several fields displayed here. Using the cursor button, highlight any field. Press the center of the cursor button.


2. Select "Altitude" from the drop-down list that appears. The screen should now show a data field with an altimeter reading, in feet or meters, depending on settings in the "Units" page. These steps will allow you to change data fields on the "Trip Computer" page as well.








3. Alternatively, press the "Page" button until you reach the Main Menu. Highlight "Setup" or "Display" and press the center of the cursor button. Within this page, options are often available to change the data fields displayed, including the altimeter.
