What is in the release note in the new firmware update? Sorry for bothering the forum. I updated without paying attention. Thanks!
Maybe a "release note" should be added in the device tab of Isaac. Just a suggestion...

The only change I remember is:
You now set the Altitude the normal way in setup/Alt this is now stored in memory!
Then after that you can hit the Enviro key twice, where the altitude shows, hold the center button for 2 seconds and the Altitude you had set will be loaded!
there were others but my memory!!!

Release Notes OS218:
Fixed a bug that occasionally caused reference elevation changes not be updated in ride file
Fixed a bug that caused Newton to "lock-up" when Newton is turned off, and is connected to USB communications port, and the user attempts establish data connection between Newton and Isaac software
Fixed a bug that causes "SPCD Fail" messages to appear when Newton is connected to Isaac
Improvement: when new firmware is loaded, it's no longer necessary to go through Fast Start and Tilt Cal procedures
New Feature: When your rides start from the same location, now it's really easy to set the reference elevation. Here's how:
1) For the first time only, use Setup/Alt to set the reference elevation.
2) The reference elevation number you entered with Setup/Alt will be memorized.
3) When subsequent rides begin at the same location, click the Enviro button twice to get to the Slope/Wind/Elevation screen. Even though you're starting your ride at the same location, it's likely that the elevation displayed will be different, because barometric pressure changes from day to day.
4) To set your elevation to the reference value memorized in step 2, while on the Slope/Wind/Elevation screen, press-hold the center button for two seconds. Your reference elevation will be updated to the value memorized in step 2.

Now that's cool. Silly question from someone who doesn't have a Newton, but is that per profile or just in genera?

The set to Reference Elevation is working great.
Nice to no longer have to go to Setup for elevation set at my usual start point.

It's amazing how, sometimes, really good ideas are easy to implement, but difficult to see.
I also agree this is a great and simple feature; I use it all the time.
