I know you guys are working on picking up an automatic baro setting based on local broadcast settings, but how about a "Barro Sync" button that syncs the altimiter barro setting with the GPS altitude. Think of it like setting your analog altimeter to field elevation when you can't get a current setting from ATIS/AWOS.

We have this exact feature in 11.0:
New: BARO will now sync to either the nearest METAR (when ADS-B is available in-flight), to 29.92 (when at/above 18k feet or no ADS-B on board), or to make the altimeter match GPS altitude (when on the ground).

However, this can only work on the ground. GPS altitude and pressure altitude are different for a whole variety of reasons once you are off the ground.
