Hello, a few use cases for the barometer: You should know that the returned GPS altitude is never very good, and above all fluctuating. GPS records with GPS altitudes overestimate the height differences by around 10 to 30%. Barometric altitude does not encounter these problems and provides much more reliable results. All the major services which analyze the GPS files generally recalculate the altitudes (with a DEM) when they come from the GPS. Use case : Jogging / trail / road bike / mountain bike, to know with precision the height difference made during an outing, and here we are not in the niche market!
