It also has a high contrast display screen, FM radio, time clock and timers, and gives up to 70 hours battery life. Bluetooth connectivity ensures it can by synced with most phone apps.
Barometric scales include millibars, and mm or inches of mercury and the barometer has a weather trend display, so you can check what the pressure’s doing before you fly.
