Altimeter options should be:
Altimeter only - uses barometric pressure.
Barometer only - change this to use GPS altitude data (right now altitude is static in this option).
Auto - Garmin dark magic that is currently broken.

Can you explain what your title " Let us use GPS altitude in activities." has to do with the barometer mode ? As you describe…
It makes sense that rather than have NO altitude data in barometer only mode, to fallback to GPS altitude. Right now you have no altitude data in that mode.
This request could be a fourth separate option…
Thanks for a hint - when we can calibrate the altimeter using the GPS, why we cannot use GPS altitude in activities? I vote for!
Let the Garmin perform itself! And I do not even know what the DEM is.
That is DEM :
You don't know what an altimeter calibration with DEM is ? How often do you calibrate the barometer?
1) We are talking about a hopefully temporary problem here. But until Garmin corrects the algorithm again, we have to live with it.
2) so we have to correct the altitude MORE OFTEN THAN USUAL ourselves. THAT we must calibrate the barometer generally also in between manually, one should be aware. There is no barometer that works 24/7 all year round without calibration. It is important to know that the pressure must also be calibrated to the appropriate altitude. Both must be correct to each other. This is important because the pressure change at different altitudes develops differently. The pressure decreases exponentially with increasing altitude. So both must be in the right relationship to each other, otherwise no altimeter will work properly.
