Ira and David,
This is my favourite altimeter app ( there is one other, Altimeter, that lets
you
set your current altitude, but no others that I've found that let you set the
QNH), so I'll just have to remember to mentally adjust my altitude so I'm not
below sea level!
I understand what you're saying about complicating the UX and look forward to
the
universal version.
Cheers
Chris
