Will my 62s tell me barometric pressure?
And if so how do i find it?

Down load a manual from here.https://support.garmin.com/support/m...hManuals.faces
See page 15 of manual.
It looks like you have to set it up so value a bit of an unknown.

It should do. Garmin GPSMAP 62 Series - Comparison Table | Garmin GPSMAP 62 Compare

Here is a bit of a discussion on it. Jeffrey Friedl's Blog » Garmin Barometric Altimeter is, Indeed, Worthless

Also a video showing how to access the settings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxOAWlyCV5M

Hope this helps mate. Haven't played with mine too much. Maybe I will now though!

Yes it will do. I cant remember the exact process off the top of my head but it is not too difficult to do.

Elevation plotter the one that has a line graph of your elevation. Should have pressure in one of the corners

Thanks everyone.
Mainly want to know baro for an input into shooter. Have just been using alt and auto pressure corrected which works well to 500 odd but getting out further have noticed up to 3moa difference between my solution and Gregs with accurate pressure input.
Gregs solution with actual pressure imputed is spot on mine with just an elevation is not.

Does your rangefinder do it?

When you are selecting it make sure you select ambient pressure

Your phone should be able to do it for you VC, I just do it at the start of each days hunt.
Just down load pressure from station.
More than accurate enough for moa out two 1000 with everything I've played with.

Fair call in the north island we hunt in full 3G service, in fact all of the ruahines has better service than our house wtf.
It must work in most places? Seen your posts with all those sweet views

I get it in spots if the weather is helping and not at all other times.
But mostly no service.

On the gps or shooter?

On shooter under atmosphere slide across the pressure is absolute button, You will not be able to enter altitude. In the settings part of shooter select metric for the Atmosphere unit. hPa and mb are essentially the same.
On the 62s go to the Elevation plot page, push the menu button, select "Change Data fields" push enter. Use the arrow to highlight the space you want the pressure to appear in, then push enter, then select Ambient Pressure, push enter. You are all done.
