[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1522900, member: 105322"] Does your device calculate DA at your location, or does it pull information from somewhere else? If it malfunctioned or ran out of battery power, how would you calculate it then? My watch gives me station pressure and doesn't need batteries. If my G-shock didn't survive, then I probably didn't either. A fob with a thermometer imbedded in it gives me temperature. If it somehow broke, I can guestimate temp to within about 5 degrees. I leave humidity at 50%. It is the difference between relying on a device to do everything for you, which creates a single point of failure, and actually learning and calibrating your brain to the effect that each individual input has on the firing solution. I shouldn't even have said anything. Seems nobody wants to actually learn this stuff anymore. They want to enter numbers into a magic box that tells them what numbers to dial. [/QUOTE]
