The configurable settings are: - Frequency: The distance (in metres) for the grade to be calculated. The default is 100 metres. Shorter distances will give more updates, but with a greater chance of variation. - Filter Above: Used to filter out percentages above a value, which handles any incorrect GPS readings. The default is 33% - Ignore Poor GPS Data: When the GPS data quality drops, the data field can ignore, which stops the possibility of incorrect readings. - Display Mode: Display the value as percent, ratio, metres per kilometres or feet per mile. - Reset on each new Lap: Reset the Data when the Lap button is pressed. - FIT Recording: Turn on or off the FIT recording option. This can save battery and save when using the Smart Recording device setting. - Negative Grade: Change the operation to work as the minimum, not maximum grade. The Frequency Setting (in metres) will be displayed as a reminder before the first gradient is processed. The options can be changed within Garmin Express on your desktop or mobile device.
