weather forecast and the moon phase.
Displays a number of historical statistics: sea-level pressure for the
past 24 hours, moon phase for the past and following 39 days and
pressure/ temperature/ humidity history bar-chart.
Pressure can be set in inHg, hPa/mBar or mmHg, and altitude can be
set in meters or feet.
IMPORTANT

viewing – SEA LEVEL or LOCAL. It is suggested to select and program only
one option.
If you wish to know pressure changes at your specific location (house), then
LOCAL barometric pressure should be selected. In this case, the local
altitude/elevation must be programmed according to the GPS readings, Internet,
etc.
If you wish to know pressure changes in your surrounding metro area, then
SEA LEVEL barometric pressure option should be selected. In this case, the
SEA LEVEL barometric pressure value can be adjusted according to the local
metro area weather information. (Sources – local TV or radio station, etc.)
