There are a lot of variables: Android API vs proprietary Google Play API, and various phones may have bugs. Plus, elevation in the Android API is defined as height above ellipsoid (HAE), which is not what people think of as elevation -- they generally want to see orthometric height (very roughly, above some sort of mean sea level). I recommend running GPSTest, which will show HAE and orthometric height using the Android API. It shows HAE, mislabeled Alt, and "WGS84 orthometric height", labeled not really wrong as "Alt (MSL)". Depending on where you are these will be different. But certianly not by 800m, and even 300m seems beyond the actual range. Around me, northeast US, orthometric heights values are 29m higher than HAE. (There is also MyLocation, useful for understanding network location providers, but it does not show elevation.) GPSTest is available on F-Droid. I am unfamiliar with the Google Play version. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OsmAnd" group.
