Revision history [back]

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
