I decided to give this a whirl on a development pi zero I have. I made a
typo in the setup program when selecting my elevation and units. I put
"feet" instead of "foot". It didn't end well :).
It might be worth either allowing foot/feet and/or mooter/meter (ok, I made
that up. meter/meters) so dumbos like me can succeed :).
Would it be possible to check the input and give an error message and a
chance to retry instead of just failing?
Again, it was my dumbassery that lead to the issue. Just thinking ahead for
others that could potentially make the same mistake that I did. Here is
the error message:
