He’s talking about a problem with elevation (on a watch with a barometer).

He’s not having any issue with the GPS.

He wants to reset the GPS to fix the elevation.

What do you think resetting the GPS is going to do?

”Manually acquire”?

Don’t these devices do that automatically?

This (automatic) process is normal (for devices that are turned on before use). So, it really isn’t something that would typically be considered “resetting”.

The watch is doing the same thing without being turned off after being indoors for awhile anyway.
