Ok I'll look into it further ... need to learn how to use it before i update the KLN90B... Altitude is set from a separate instrument , not linked to the GPS in any way. As for the EFIS-84 settings , I haven't come across any good refences for the controller, so it can only be set from the dialog for now ... but that's still a work in progress as always... Cheers
