I have a Garmin Forerunner 310XT but it doesn't offer real time altimeter readings (only on download afterwards) and also I don't think they're allowed in most MM's due to the GPS stuff...

would REALLY appreciate any advice/suggestions - thanks

Hi ys I've got a sunto vector and that's good , I had the altimax before that and that was good too. I use a garmin 305 and that has an elevation field on it and testing against altimeter its been accurate the few times I've compared them so your 310 may well have it too ? . The map on lamm was a bit tough as it looked like an os 1:50 blown up to me wouldn't beat yourself up on that score but an altimeter is a real asset on them events. Hope this helps :-)
