Please add a manual barometer/alitmeter calibration in vivoactive 4

Hello.

This post is to ask for a manual barometer/altimeter calibration in Vivoactive 4 so we are able to measure this properly. The setting to calibrate it posted in Garmin are akward and doesn't let you know if the calibration is being measured in a good way and you never know when this "finished" the altimeter calibration.

Also, sometimes you calibrate your altimeter, get out of the activity and shows you the correct elevation and then, if you decide to start an activity and doesn't wait for the altimeter calibration, it shows you a different elevation and few minutes ago you "calibrate" it with a close to real elevation. My another question is, is there a way that the altitude doesn't get recalculated every time you start a new activity in the case that you already have a close to real elevation?

And my another question is, why that happens? I mean, many times I "calibrate" my altimeter by waiting those 30 secs, get out of an activity to check the altitude and is good measured, after that, I decide to start my ride because the altitude is going to be well measured but it changes it once I press the green button and shows me an error of 85-90 meters most of the time outside of my house.

Please give us this new feature or at least let us manually input a known elevation.

Thanks!!
