My altitude seems to stay on the same number i know its not right but havent heard anyone else talking about it. Can restart motor and its stuck on a different number. Any thoughts???

I had the same problem for my first ride. After I got upset and gave it a "love tap" on top of the dash, it has worked since. Must be a faulty connection.

thanks i'll give it a shot
Mine will change 50+ feet in my drive way from one day to the next.
Rode Valemount with a couple buddies, theirs gave much different numbers than the 2 gps units we had..
At the same place at a town in CO where we started ridng from for a week that was at 9000ft it would read anywhere from 8700 to 9300.
I am guessing that it works off barimetric pressure and for these to be accurate they have to be set everyday to a know altitude to compensate
pressure changing due to the weather. Is there a way to set these to a know altitude?

anyhbody know if they can be set to a know altitude?

Believe the hand held GPS not the Ski doo, or Poo gauges. They operate off of barametric pressue and not satillite. The sled ones are just for a vague benchmark, nothing concrete.
My hand held gps is very consistant, as it should be, so if you have one of these then use it for a more accurate reading.

brp sent out a news letter to dealers saying they will vary in some cases up to a couple hundred feet beetween machines. so use only as a guideline.

They change because of pressure AND temp... It tells you what the sled feels. If it is colder it will read higher altitude. Air density changes with temp & pressure.
The pressure thing may explain why, when I rode and shut my sled off at 8,000ft and came home to 1,200 ft the gauge was all screwed up.
