Thats not really too far off. My suunto wrist altimeter can only be
set to altimeter settings of .05" increments (i.e., 29.95, 30.00,
30.05...) so I usually have to round up or down since the altimeter is
reported in .01" increments. That usually gives me some error, usually
within 30 feet or more.
Also keep in mind if youre getting the altimeter setting from a local
ATIS, that info is usually old enough to be off by a little bit, even
if you can set it to the exact altimeter reading reported..... I rarely
see the exact same altitude twice at my apartment complex.....
