Altitude error (geoid ?) #242

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Altitude is wrong, about 50 meters above the real (France, Motorola Defy+)

What is expected? What do you get instead?
Geoid correction. You said it is implemented in the 1.3.1 version, but it is 
without effect apparently. I don't find nothing about it in the help and in the 
parameters.

What version of the product are you using?
1.4.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Altitude is correct with the GPS TEST (Android) software

I Have the same problem with 1.6 version on Samsung Galaxy S3 in France (+/- 
90-100m).
It's very problematic.

The same with 1.6 on LG 990 in Czech Republic (+ 80-90m). Other GPS-based 
altimeters show either correctly or maybe +10m only.

ENHANCEMENT SUGGESTION: Add a numeric parameter Altitude displacement [meter] 
to allow altitude correction until good geoid calculation is done.

Anything new about this problem? Version 1.7.6, SGS2, altitude 90-100m too 
high, compared to real altitude and Radar and Garmin Street Pilot application 
on the same device, location Austria

Please take care of this problem - it's quite irritating and spoils my very 
good impression of Androzic. Worth to mention that closest alterative 
OziExplorer shows altitude correctly...

Version 1.7.6 on Samsung XCover2 - error of +70-80m in altitude. Checked 
against real heights in the field. Location Poland.

Indeed a correction or workaround as suggested above will be well appreciated.

WORKAROUND: Add a numeric parameter Altitude displacement [meter] to allow 
altitude correction until good geoid calculation is done.

Thank you for considering this modification and congratulations for the work 
done so far.

Still nothing new about this issue?
lease give us a possibility to correct the GPS altitude. Where is the problem? 
Most other apps already have this feature an this is the onliest thing I don't 
like on Androzic...

Forget about Androzic, I'm now using OruxMaps which does not have this altitude 
problem.
