-Updated Altitude Calibration Menu -> "SET ALTITUDE" Feature added **now there are 4 Ways to Adjust "Estimated Altitude" Calibration: Method ONE -> Enter the CURRENT ALTITUDE + Press "SET ALTITUDE" Method TWO -> Enter the Desired Altitude Zero OFFSET + Press "SAVE OFFSET" Method THREE -> Press "ZERO" + Press "SET ALTITUDE"......[this sets Estimated Altitude to ZERO] Method FOUR -> Press "ZERO" + Press "SAVE OFFSET"......[this sets Calibration Offset to ZERO] ++ the WEATHER is Always Changing.....Barometric Pressure Goes Up & Down Twice a Day -> Calibrate PressureGauge6 Daily (before a Trip) to Obtain the Most Precise "Estimated Altitude" Data -> the Diurnal Cycle is Driven by Solar Activity -> resulting in Atmospheric "Tides" Twice Daily ** HIGH Pressure is expected to Peak -> 10am & 10pm *** LOW Pressure generally Peaks -> 4am & 4pm ++ these Diurnal Pressure Swings can shift "Estimated Altitude" values by +-42 Feet / 12.8 meters or more ** 1 hPa (mbar) -> shifts "Estimated Altitude" by ~28 feet / 8.5 meters *** 1 mmHg (Torr) -> shifts "Estimated Altitude" by ~37 feet / 11.3 meters >>> to Obtain the BEST RESULTS using PressureGauge6 (for "Estimated Altitude"): 1) Calibrate PressureGauge6 ONCE before an Excursion.....set Altitude.....(or set Altitude to ZERO to measure Elevation Gains on a Hike) 2) Select Convenient Calibration & Sampling Locations when Possible -> Front Door / Parking Spot / Favorite Gas Station / etc 3) SAVE Data Samples in Tight Timelines (within several hours -> within 60 minutes is best) 4) SAVE Data Samples in Close Geographical Proximity (within several miles is best) 5) COMPARE Saved Data Samples in GROUPS.....Data Sampled Closer Together in TIME & LOCATION Provides Excellent ELEVATION CHANGE Information. Even if the Weather Shifts.....which it will.....Data Points Sampled Closest Together in Distance & Time using Same Calibration OFFSET will provide Valuable Insight useful for Accurately Estimating Heights & Altitudes. 6) Use "Save FAVs" to MAP Feature -> Creating a Custom Map of "Estimated Elevations" showcasing your Amazing Trip! 7) COPY Datasets & FAVs to NOTES or email -> Clear LOCATIONS & DATA after Each Excursion or Multi-Day Trip (to simplify organization) Important Note: PressureGauge6 records Elevation "Offsets" when using the SAVE Feature....making it possible to compare Multiple Datasets using Different Calibration Settings. By Sampling a few of the Same Locations when possible, Barometric Pressure Weather System related Shifts in "Estimated Altitude" Data can be reduced & identified -> improving Accuracy & Precision. Stable Atmospheric Pressure Yields the Best Data. PressureGauge6 -> Go Outside & Conquer the WORLD!!~
