I will be waiting with Baited breath for your arrival :):P
[quote=”sweikert925″]By the way, you seem like the perfect person to ask this question of.
I was hoping to get an altimeter so I can measure the altitude of the places I will be visiting on my upcoming visit to CR in a couple of weeks. But that was before I found that altimeters are really just barometers and that they work by measuring barometric pressure, not actual height above sea level. Barometric pressure changes the higher up you go. But since barometric pressure ALSO keeps changing with the weather, how DO you get an accurate reading of altitude?[/quote]
