Elevation height in Feet

[sealion]

I have a 775T and you can choose to show elevation at bottom right of screen. I need to see this in Feet NOT Meters and can't find a way of changing this. My system settings are, as far as I know, set to the UK. I learnt the hard way when travelling in the USA that I should have factory reset to the default country but I am back now in the UK.

Any ideas please.

Learn to multiply by 10 and divide by 3

or divide by 3 and add 10%

or what is even harder get to think in metres - eventually you will have to .

My statements are not as unsympathetic as you think as I have gone through this same process for the last 3 or 4 years with a 775t
Each time I drive into hilly/mountainous country I curse myself for not typing up a conversion table and blue tacking it next to the satnav in the car. My divide by 3 and add 10% seems to be the easiest method to me.

Given the fact that satnav altitudes are pretty inaccurate for some reason or other, then a straightforward multiply by 3 seems to give a result that is within the accuracy variation of the sat nav unless you are talking serious altitudes.

For reasons I won't go into now I do need to quickly know my height in Feet. My understanding of GPS is that the given heights are very accurate especially if using an external Antenna.

I am assuming that the answer to my question is the setting cannot be changed.

Thank you both for the information and very informative answers. I realise that I must re-evaluate very quickly my method of measuring height.
