If you are comparing your external sensors to your console's barometer keep in mind that the offset does not mean the sensor is out-of-spec. An absolute offset is not a specification. It is just the sensor correction offset so that all your barometers read the same absolute pressure. I am assum

Looks like you've got the elevation for your location nailed down if you've gotten it down to 10cm. For us ordinary folks we have to rely on topo maps or google earth ( or similar map reference tools) to get down to 1 meter accuacy. Not all countries have gone digital for surveys quite yet. Her
