Is there different versions of the Altitrack?

Recommended Posts

Curious were there a previous version of altitrack or are there only the military and standard? I know per unit you can switch between meters and US, but wondering more specifically if there was a previous version?

the reason I ask is I am looking at purchasing a used one. It has a black casing and the face looks like one advertised on L&B, but the the pic of the digital display looks a little different (less info than what I see on the L&B site); it could be simply the way the previous own set his settings, but just wanted to make sure before I click pay for item.

I tried to upload the photos, but they are too big and I am a techincal idiot and dont know how to reduce their file size. L&B doesnt show there was a previous version, but doing one last check in the community to make sure.

They are incredibly helpful at LARSEN & BRUSGAARD. Send Mads an email.

See this thread, HERE.

Includes pictures, and some descriptions, of both (non-metric anyway) versions.

As others have also already pointed out too - simply drop a direct line to L&B. I've always found Mads there, to be EXTREMELY responsive, and helpful.

There are at least software differences. The one I have doesn't turn itself off where as a friend of mine bought a newer model which turns itself off after 14 hours. Also the metric 6km scale was different in that the part from 0 m to 500 m had a tic every 100 m, maybe even up to 1 km.
Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Yeah I saw that thread and I knew there was a difference in the analog face based on symmetrical and assymmetrical; it was the digital underside I was wondering about.

However, thanks so much for the advice; I have an email out to Mads currently and I sent her photos so she can clarify if it was just they way he had his settings or if it was an earlier model.

Thanks everyone for the info!

Sorry I never met this person and I assumed. My bad!

BTW he did respond to me and this is what I learned:

There are nothing wrong with the AltiTrack, the LCD is just showing a different window then we show.
Please note that this AltiTrack is one of the first versions where you can’t offset it negative (to the left).
If you look at a new AltiTrack you can see that the inner scale also is to the left.
