Can this be used walking around to see the altitude of a piece of property?

IM not sure how best to answer it, but I'd say no. it starts at 0 feet and measures only to the peak altitude.

設定方法は？

説明書は英語だけど、使い方を見ながら設定した。が、モデルロケットに取り付けても高度が測れなかった。 ①スイッチオン ②ボタンを押して0000表示フィートorメートルは別にしても、①②以外に設定あるのだろうか？そうでなければ、不良品？追記2025.5.16 モデルロケットのヘッドに吸気孔以外に排気口を設けたらしっかり計測できた。空気の流れをセンサーが感知して動くものだった。これで使い方は問題なし。ちゃんとメートル計測もできた。ちなみに写真はフィート。
