[Shop-talk] Fw: Auto thermometers and clocks

[Jack Brooks]

Many of the newer GPS' have altitude as a screen display.  OTOH mine has
read as low as -19 near the ocean.  It's close, but it's calculated off
several satellites, so YMMV.  For me, it's good enough and sometimes
amusing. 

Clock and outside temp:  There are numerous $5-$20 solutions.  Find one for
a home.  Yes, they take batteries, but you will change then once a year.  If
you want hardwired, stepping 12v down to 3v won't be too hard.

Eric, I can't offer much on your search, but maybe someone out there knows 
where I can find an altimeter that is made for putting in/on the dash.  I 
haven't seen anything anywhere.
