Fenix 6s Pro Altimeter wrong by 50 meters

Former Member over 6 years ago

Hi,

I have tried calibrating my altimeter for more than 5 times in the past week. I have done it manually by entering my altitude above sea level from Google maps which is 57 meters. Every night I check the altitude and it goes way off from 90 meters to 15 meters. Anyone knows why can this be happening or how to solve it? I have the sensor settings to autocalibrate as continued during activity and not during activity to yes.

Any ideas? Do I need to update any firmware? I'm running on:

Software 3.0

GPS 2.5

Sensor hub 2.1

Ant ble bt 3.6

Ciq 3.1.2

WiFi 2.6

BMX 0.4.8

Whr 20.04.40

Thanks
