Those should both be fully toggleable, you can study them a little here:

The Platinum is the Gold with a compass and barometer built in. I think
having those adds a little workload for calibration and use and a small
additional drain on the battery. But they would nice to have if you
needed them. I never felt I needed them as I used them mostly with a
compass around and on or near the ocean. GPS elevations were always
info enough for me.

You're more than welcome. Feel free to email me if I can help, I think
I still have some of the Magellan firmware update CD's around if you get
to looking for firmware updates or anything and can't find them.
