Interpreting Weather Information

The iFINDER Expedition's Weather Prediction utility is found in two
data boxes on the Digital Data page. (This page is available only in Ad-
vanced Mode.) The Pressure History box at the top has a bar chart.
Each bar represents a past hourly pressure reading (up to 23 hours
old), plus the current reading. The Weather Symbol box at lower left
reflects the current trend shown in the Pressure History bar chart.

When the iFINDER is first turned on and determines its position and
the local time, it takes a barometric pressure reading. As long as the
unit is on or in Sleep Mode, it records a pressure reading every hour.
Each reading is shown as a vertical bar in the Pressure History box. The
bar at far right is always the current pressure. The oldest reading is at
the left side of the chart. You can press the ← and → keys to scroll
through these readings. You can also use ↑ to switch to altitude values or
the GPS Position display or ↓ to return to atmospheric pressure values.
