Thank you very much for all that valuable info. I just got my new Core and not being very familiar with barometric pressure, I was having minor problems trying to adjust my watch. In fact, I was mostly unsure about my settings. Your post made me realize my settings were pretty good. I also learned a lot of interesting stuff.

A little note to my fellow Canadians who might read this, the Canadian equivalent of Mike's link for ADDS-METAR is to be found on Nav Canada's website.

Mike, following your instructions and using public informations, I think I can say that my Core too seems to be very accurate. I live in Montreal and Google Earth says my home is at 19m (62ft). The airport (CYUL) is said to be at 118ft. That airport is to the North-West from my place and closer to the mountain, therefore, higher. That's roughly a 60ft difference and it makes a lot of sense when you know the terrain. My Core shows 0.05 inHg less than the CYUL report. That's 50ft. I guess I'm a happy camper.

Thanks again!
