Hey guys,
A buddy and I are starting to get into longer-range shooting, and have realized the importance of taking accurate, and precise, weather measurements.
We need a device(s) that will allow us to:
- Measure pressure
- Measure temperature
- Measure wind speed
- Measure altitude (via gps?)
I have seen some of those Kestrel units online, but they are pretty spendy. I was looking at this for the temperature and wind:

I was already planning on purchasing a gps for other purposes. Does anyone know of a model that will tell you the current pressure, and gps-based altitude? The reason I ask is because on the models with a baro-sensor, they are used to measure altitude, not the ambient pressure. I would like one that uses the GPS system to measure altitude, while using a baro-sensor to measure pressure.
Thanks guys!

Any other insight and comments are welcome, as usual.
