when it enters level stops or
decompression, it also switches

2.4.3 Setting the declination

(default: 0 degrees)
Depending on the exact location on the
planet, there can be a deviation between
true North and magnetic North. Any
compass will always show magnetic North,
so via this menu you can set a value for
the so-called declination that will make the
compass show true North instead.

Altimeter

This menu allows you to use Galileo as
an altimeter. Upon entering this menu,
the current altitude is displayed. Altitude
is interpreted by the computer from the
measured barometric pressure and, as
such, it is strongly dependent on the
weather. Consequently, for accurate altitude
measurements, the altimeter has to be set
to a known altitude at least once a day.
To set the altitude, first press adJ to enter
the adJuSt aLtitude menu. Once
inside this menu, use the "+" or "–" buttons
until you reach the desired value. Each time
you press "+" or "–", the displayed altitude
will change in 10m/50ft increments. Press
"SaVe" to confirm your choice and return
to the main altimeter menu.
F
NOTE:
The altitude shown in this menu has
no influence on the automatic altitude
adjustment in the decompression
calculations.
