A barometric altimeter, used along with a topographic map, can help to verify one's location.

Featuring an electronic compass and a barometric altimeter, it's useful on any outdoor adventure.

"You must mean a barometric altimeter."

The second problem was determining the aircraft's altitude, as the barometric altimeters then in use lacked sufficient accuracy.

The altitude specified by the device is not the indicated altitude of the standard barometric altimeter.

Hikers and mountaineers use hand-held or wrist-mounted barometric altimeters, as do skydivers.

An included barometric altimeter and ...

The Edge 305 adds a barometric altimeter to measure climbs more accurately, and can log heart rate and pedaling cadence.

Low-cost systems use a radar altimeter, barometric altimeter and clock to navigate a digital strip map.

Most handheld units these days come with electronic compass, built-in quad helix antennae and barometric altimeter.

Built for the outdoors, the Garmin Montana 650T also has a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass and barometric altimeter.

The barometric altimeter setting that will cause the altimeter to read airfield elevation when on the airfield.

Waterproof and buoyant, it has a barometric altimeter to indicate weather trends and record highest and lowest elevation.

(Before and after this fluctuation, the readings of the radio altimeter and those of the barometric altimeter match perfectly).

The pressure altimeter, also known as the barometric altimeter, is used to determine changes in air pressure that occur as the aircraft's altitude changes.

The barometric altimeter setting that will cause an altimeter to read zero when at the reference datum of a particular airfield (in general, a runway threshold).

When a barometer is supplied with a nonlinear calibration so as to indicate altitude, the instrument is called a pressure altimeter or barometric altimeter.

The MNS featured an electronic compass, barometer, and barometric altimeter in addition to GPS reception capability.

New features are the inclusion of the SiRFStar iv chipset, a barometric altimeter, and improved swimming metrics using gyroscopes in the watch.

During that transmission, a trainee controller had also transmitted an incorrect QNH (barometric altimeter) setting that was 9 hPa too high.

Barometric fuzes cause a bomb to detonate at a certain pre-set altitude above sea level by means of a radar, barometric altimeter or an infrared rangefinder.

Relax with the TwoNav Aventura handheld GPS unit featuring 3D and aerial displays plus built-in compass and barometric altimeter for £500.

These altitudes are listed as "MSL" on IFR planning charts, and are thus the altitudes which would be indicated on the aircraft's barometric altimeter.

Some of this batch were intended for low-altitude operation and fitted with a radar altimeter, and others were intended for high-altitude operation and had a barometric altimeter.

This type of altimeter provides the distance between the antenna and the ground directly below it, in contrast to a barometric altimeter which provides the distance above a defined datum, usually mean sea level.
