[Cdt-l] Cdt-l Digest, Vol 73, Issue 20

My Suunto Core altimeter watch has a very functional thermometer.  Not
surprisingly, the thermometer is inaccurate when attached to your body heat
- you have to set it on a rock for a few minutes to get good data.  The
altimeter and compass (and digital watch and alarm) make the Core a handy
tool.
