The realtime.txt file the the program is generating has for the Barometer reading for example 1006.43. This seems to upset the local map data in NZ. All other stations have for the Barometer reading just one decimal point ie 1006.4 instead of 1006.43 as in my case.
Is there a setting somewhere that will fix that.
Thank you
Philip

No, sorry. The VP2 is capable of pressure to 2 decimal places (in mb/hPa) so that's what Cumulus displays. I have tried to use the correct number of decimal places for each item, depending on the station type. In the replacement for Cumulus that I am developing, I am (eventually) going to make the number of decimal places for each item configurable, so it will no longer be my responsibility to use what I believe is a sensible number of places.
