Garmin Ltd.

International Classification:

G01S 13/08
G01S 7/40
G01C 5/06
G01S 13/00

US Classification:

342174, 342118, 342120, 342165, 342173, 342175, 342195, 34235701, 34235706, 702 85, 702 98, 702127, 702138, 73384, 738652, 701 1, 701 3, 701 4, 701 10

Abstract:

In a combined GPS/altimeter device, the calibration and hence the accuracy of barometric altimeter measurements are enhanced with the aid of derived altitudes from a GPS. The device determines the need for calibration and perform the subsequent computations necessary to facilitate the calibration. Furthermore, the device determines a correction quantity that should be applied to barometric altitude readings, thereby allowing the device to be calibrated while in motion. Both of these features ultimately result in a more accurate determination of altitude.
