## Questions & Answers

**Q: Altitude measurements If you are moving from a low location to a high location, I’ll it automatically change altitude measurements as altitude changes**
A: This unit uses a pressure sensing barometer.  It must be initially calibrated from a known height or barometric pressure.  After that, all readings will use the current pressure/altitude.  A great unit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***M on 5 November 2016*

This is a very nice meter. The wind meter is very sensitive and reads below 1 mph. I really like the user configurable screens and all the readings seem to be spot on when comparing to other good meters. The only complaint I have is that it only comes with a quick start guide and no other instructions are available anywhere. I am still trying to figure out how to use the crosswind function and what some of the settings are. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. If they would just give a set of detailed instructions or post them online.
