Density Altitude / Station Pressure

[DesertBull]

If you didn't know, iPhone 6 and 7 have a built in barometer. This means you can get the actual barometric pressure at your location which negates the need to enter the altitude into your app.

 

You can also get density altitude with an app which, if your app allows, lets you use DA which is one number that accounts for temp, humidity, altitude and air pressure.

Where is it located in the phone Or do I need an app

[DesertBull]

there are free barometer apps and the DA calculator I think I paid $1.99

[trphyhntr]

do you used the shooter app? it pulls up that info

[DesertBull]

Shooter uses online data from a weather station that could be 20 or more miles away. Most weather stations are at airports or other urban/suburban areas or mountain tops with cell towers, fire look outs etc.

And...that only works if you are shooting somewhere where you have cell coverage
