| Altimeter in the plane, does it work? Does any one know if the altimeter in a Suunto watch works while in the plane? I have a Casio Pathfinder, but the altimeter does not work in the plane.
How about the compass, does it work as well?
Thanks,

The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more. | |  |  |  |  |
