Altimeter Vivoactive4

Former Member over 5 years ago

how can I calibrate the altimeter in my Vivoactive4? By default it marks an incorrect value, much lower than the real one. I didn't find anything on the manual. Thanks

Start an outdoor gps activity. Let it run for about a minute after you get a good lock. Stop and delete. This should calibrate it.

I'm running at the seaside, and sometimes it gives me 5m ... the normal (and right) is 0

I really don’t care how accurate the altimeter is. I only care how much ascent I have when I’m going up a mountain, which the GPS helps with. With your case, 5 meters really isn’t a huge difference. I have had multiple Garmin and a couple Suunto and none of them have perfect altimeters.
