And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

I've got the altimeter in my truck and I've been pleasantly surprised at its accuracy
Altitude and an accurate topo map give you precise location. If you already know your location, the change makes it a barometer. If this is news to anyone, an altimeter is too advanced an item.
I use the same altimeter in my plane to show me the cabin altitude to verify that the pressurization is working correctly.
ReplyDeleteFirst actual functional application I've seen. Good idea.

OK, you've got one in your truck, and it works superbly. Other than that, how is it useful? Compass, thermometer I get. The other two?
