To Jan S. Balcom's answer, I would add that I believe this calibration needs to be done every time you put in a new battery. You also need to recalibrate the compass each time. By doing this, I believe mine gives a reasonably close reading.

For accurate elevation, altimeter needs to be calibrated. Try to find a spot where you know the elevation and then go to the altimeter screen and enter that elevation. I believe if you leave it on in the same location for an hour or so that it will "autocalibrate," but I think entering a setting is more accurate. Also possible to enter known barometric pressure if you have that available. Note: This is not a set it and forget it kind of thing.

I do not know if the Garmin has a feature that provides elevations. I purchased this for my son and he had no problems with finding the various locations. The Garmin would only be able to give the information from a database that works in conjunction with the program that comes with the GPS. Hope that helps.

You may be viewing in the full-screen mode which distorts things. Try using a different setting like actual size I believe.

There's a menu item where you can re-align the screen. check the manual or download it from the Garmin site. sounds like a easy fix.

It's not tall enough for a 30% elevation. Nice item overall, but for that much elevation, maybe two of them would work.

I'm having the same problem & haven't been able to adjust it as yet. Brand new unit. Not happy.

The light beam can not be adjusted from flood to spot nor can the light head be tilted

Nope. . Mines have a hill too. ..I put a brick or something under one side of the leg to level off the screen. . Once that's done your main focus will be on the screen. . You won't even notice it.. Easy fix

Mr. Rashad. I have installed this item myself. Unfortunately, the only way to adjust the height of mount is to switch out the different sized poles. You can tilt and change the direction of view, but the height only has two different settings and must be set by switching out the short or long pole extension. I hope this helps:)

JohnNo adjustment that I can find. Think something is wrong with yours and needs to be returned

You need to use the VIRB Edit video editing program (free). Apparently their are also plug-ins for other video editing programs as well. the GPS data shows up as speed, elevation, location, ...

A couple of easy things to try. The big eye you aim at can tilt and be hard to hit if not glued down. Also check all the connections, even the power plug.

The globe I received has the mountain ranges elevated as 'bumps' as you mentioned

the landing gear is raised by Design but I don't know why. I know the fix for it is to adjust your settings. the little screws next to the white things turn those up and down it changes the tilt of the bleedingive you a smoker left of me a few days a week na to get right

You have to call the company and they will supposedly give you the correct settings. I was always out in the mountains so late, that it was too late to call the manufacturer. Never actually used the device. It's still sitting in the box.

I've heard that motionbased.com adjusts the elevation readings now to reflect more accurate elevations. I don't own one yet, but am looking to buying one and have heard this from a few friends who own the 305. This, from what I understand, is the 305's biggest weakness! However, I still want one above any other of its kind...
