Seems good to me.
Yea it seems good to me too.

I can't set Alti reference value without affecting Sea level pressure reference value, I wish I could, because this would tweak this added 2-3 hpa or lower 20-25m reading difference in calculating related values and then the Core would work fantastically.
I agree with you that the airport's devices should be more accurate than the Core.

But how can you set the Core to the 35m Alti reference value when your work place neither your home are at this 35m altitude and expect correct reading baffles me. What makes sense to me is you set the sea level pressure reference value matching your airport sea level pressure and your Core can calculate your correct altitude. My Core doesnt do it, if you had my Core and you set it to your Aiport sea level pressure value it would calculate that your work place is at 20 m altitude and your home at minus 3m altitude or something similar.

My Core is 2008, maybe the 2009 one's dont have this problem ?

Thanks for your replies
