Does it account for elevation? A change of elevation of 100 m is about 12 mbar of pressure, comparable to a modest weather event. You could use ground topography to correct, but people working in midtown Manhattan skyscrapers would be a noisy signal, for example.
- cryptoz 15y agoCurrently the data isn't available outside the app, but I'm working on that and should have that out within a couple of weeks. My focus so far has been growing the user base, so the web interface has lagged. Coming soon! For elevation, we currently attempt no fixes. The attitude I've held so far has been that this is the primary reason for building a _network_, since a single barometer cannot be trusted. However, your Manhattan scenario is interesting: what if most people are constantly changing elevation? Hm. I'll work on that one...
