Doe the Jolla tablet have an air pressure sensor and/or a thermometer ? While the specs page does not list it in the (very brief BTW) official sensor listing, it would be nice to have as it much improves current altitude & lift/sink rate detection in comparison to only using GPS data for this. It should be also very easy & cheap to add, if it already is not part of one of the all-in-in sensor chips used.

Possible use cases:

  • recording tracklogs with precise altitude information in aircraft (gliders), when biking or hiking
  • rudimentary backup variometer for gliders :)
  • rudimentary low altitude/high sinkrate warning
  • rudimentary weather forecasting (measuring air pressure tendency)
  • taking part in smartphone based weather forecasting networks
  • another data source for inertial navigation

Jolla Roadmapping Meeting - Friday 16.01.2015

Thank you for your contribution to the Jolla Tablet project!

We receive a lot of ideas and suggestions, which we are grateful for, but all of them can't be implemented. We've reviewed your idea and unfortunately it is not something we can implement, at least right now.

However, we will keep all suggestions, and might revisit this decision in the future if we see an opportunity to implement this feature-request in an upcoming product/SW release.

Best regards,
The Jolla Tablet Team
