ABC widget

In the ABC widget what does the --> mean.

It has something to do with the barometer but what ?

It doesnt matter whether the pressure trend is rising, stable or falling it always points to the right and since I have had the watch (3 weeks) has never changed.

The manual (as usual) does not explain it at all. (Garmin if you are reading, your manuals suck, I mean really suck)

Hi,

Good point and yes I have recaibrated the barometer several times. I will leave it until I see a clear change of pressure and see what happens then.

1 = sharp increase
2 = constant after (strong) falling
3 = constant
4 = after balanced trend (strong) increase
5 = according to balanced trend (strong) waste
6 = after (strong) increase (strong) decreasing
7 = after (strong) decline (strongly) increasing
8 = constant after (strong) increase
9 = steeply falling

Pics from a different Garmin watch, but same arrows.

Please note that every time you calibrate the Altimeter, the Baro trend arrow resets to Constant (---->), no matter the actual Baro trend.
