1. Long-press the Up button to open the Menu.
2. Scroll down and select Sensors & Accessories.

4. Select Calibrate.
5. There are three options: manually enter your current elevation, select Use DEM (Digital Elevation Map - this will use GPS to determine your location on a map that is built into the watch), or select Use GPS. I recommend trying either DEM or GPS to see which is more accurate for you.
6. Once you select DEM or GPS, it will search for GPS and then it will load your estimated altitude. Select the estimate to calibrate the altimeter on your Garmin Instinct 2.
