I'm not sure that the absolute MAP numbers that you quoted are of any value. What is important IMO is the difference between the atmospheric pressure and the MAP. I am shooting for the same value for atmospheric and MAP.  
 
You're right of course Jim.  If I were looking at tenths of an inch of pressure, I would worry about the atmospheric.  I think we can safely assume standard 29.92" atmospheric for the purposes of looking for multiple inches of missing pressure. 
 
I will try to note the altimeter reading next time, and it's certainly dialed into my altimeter from Sunday still, so I can even look at what it was when I collected these numbers.
