What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Power up droid at home (altitude 6400 feet, then drive to work (altitude  
6250)
2. At lunch start the Open GPS application and select "Start Tracking". 
3. Walk 1 mile north and return.
4. "Stop Tracking" at the same place I started. 
5. Go to stats for track, select Graph Type "Altitude Over Time" 
6. Notice the the starting altitude is almost the home altitude, not the 
starting and ending location at work.  Nor is the starting and ending altitude 
on the graph the same, end when start and ending locations is the same. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Accurate starting altitude. 

Which Android device are you using?

Motorola Droid (original, 855 or something)

What version of Android are you running?
2.2 

What version of the Open GPS Tracker are you running?
Latest download suggested bu Android.  The about box say's 'application "OI 
About" from the OpenIntents project is required to display the about 
information"

Please provide any additional information below.

This happens ever day I go for a walk at work.  Even when the phone remains 
turned on for several days between walks.  It seems that the starting track 
altitude is from unrelated altitude near my home. 

Logging Precision is 'normal' Speed and Altitude sanity check is checked, GPS 
speed and altitude are checked.  Compass and My Location are checked.
