[QUOTE="swisski, post: 2636996, member: 117933"] I just picked up a Drop and had couple questions pertaining to how you use it while hunting and conditions are changing. Under the device settings for reference altitude/barometric pressure, do you just have to input this reference value once, or is it something you need to update occasionally? Or perhaps every time you put the battery in? Where I'll be I'll have no service, and we'll be changing elevation frequently as it is mountainous. I'm assuming I'll need to set that reference while I'm out there and I put the battery back in. My thought is I could either use my inReach and get a weather update for current barometric pressure, or I could use OnX and get a rough elevation to set that value. It also states if you change altitude while on barometer mode, the barometric pressure will become inaccurate, or likewise if you're in altimeter mode and a weather system comes in, the altitude will become inaccurate. Ultimately it sounds like I should keep in altimeter mode since we will be changing elevation throughout the hunt. I'm just trying to understand the best way to have it setup so that if the time comes and I need to use the temp, pressure, and humidity variables to solve for a shot in my strelok, it will all work appropriately and give me an accurate solve. Hope this makes sense. I appreciate any insight! [/QUOTE]
