Default Pitot/static leak issues when using a "squat switch"

It's been a while, but I believe Trig uses GPS ground speed to determine
flight status.Â* The concern is about gliders flying in wave and clocking
extremely low ground speed resulting in the transponder reporting the
glider on the ground.

How is Trig determining ground / alt without a switch?

I'm planning on a manual switch. I'll just add setting it to alt in my pre-takeoff instrument set scan.
