How do I Calibrate BME280 Readings

I am using Sparkfun BME280 sample code to read the BME280 and my Altitude is off for my location. My location was verified by actual location and GPS location The BME280 is reading 40ft low.

I have attached the code:

This sketch configures the BME280 to read all measurements.  The sketch also
displays the BME280's physical memory and what the driver perceives the
calibration words to be.

Resources:
Uses Wire.h for I2C operation
Uses SPI.h for SPI operation

Development environment specifics:
Arduino IDE 1.6.4
Teensy loader 1.23

An unadjusted error of 40 feet is perfectly acceptable.

The altitude determined by a barometer depends on the reference (sea level) pressure, and due to weather changes, can go up and down by hundreds of feet in a day. The sea level reference has to be adjusted nearly every day.

Since the sea level reference pressure is not in the code you posted, it must be in the library.

I am working on being able to see Relative Air Density etc. Would getting the more accurate conditions be better via a gps module that then can get longitude, latitude, altitude and weather?

Is there Arduino code out there for the gps module to do that without wifi connections.

Not sure how the drag racing meters accurately do it but I don't think it is from gps or wifi. It must some kind of correction factor for sea level.

The BME280 measures absolute air pressure.

It is factory calibrated, but you can do better by comparing the measurements with those obtained from a professional quality barometer, and calculating an improved scale and offset factor to apply to the BME280 data.
