Sorry guys if I come back to this topic.

Before I wrote on this forum about this topic I contacted support. Yesterday the reply came and it is a bit different from what was said here.

Basically they told me that the FusedAlti function used to be disabled in the beginning when manually adjusting the altitude and now it is not the case anymore (for about 5 years now). Today the FusedAlti function is always on when the GPS is active: when navigating, when just looking at the coordinates of the location and even outside of exercise recording.
Comments?

I will try tonight. It’s easy, just set manually a completely wrong altitude, start an activity immediately that lasts longer than 15min and it will be visible if FusedAlti works or not

@gi0vanni
I could try during lunch. support is right

I’ve set my watch manually to 4’444m and after around 16min, it was corrected to 442m.

@freeheeler so the only use of manual calibration is when training at altitude with no or poor GPS reception…
Technically totally makes sense to me.

And what does the altitude graph look like after saving in such case?

@Mff73 Fused alti is always adjusting backwards.

@Egika

you are totally right
i am still used to Spartan fused alti (blocked if manual altitude setup), AND, and old memories about some “progressive” adjustment at beginning of activity (don’t remember from where i have this memories).

@Mff73
I think it was like that also for S9B…
start and end alti could be better, but I assume it becomes better the longer the activity runs… and even then: with gnss comparison and correction, not bad

So much to learn in this forum ️
