Trains might fly!? #4678

Open reedy opened 1 year ago

reedy commented 1 year ago

Describe the issue I use Organic Maps when I'm a passenger on planes to get a real time map when airlines don't provide one.

I do this with an XGPS160 which happily feeds into Organic Maps.

When the speed is over some value, Organic Maps seems to know you're probably on a plane, but when you're slowing down, coming into land (so figure of a couple of hundred MPH, rather than 500+), it shows that you're apparently on a train, while still thousands of feet in the air.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Get on a plane
  2. Wait for it to take off
  3. Connect your phone to an external GPS reciever
  4. Open Organic Maps
  5. While the plane is travelling slower (likely more evident coming into land), Organic Maps will show you as being a train, even though your you're definitely well above ground level

Expected behavior Not show a train when you're thousands of feet in the air

Screenshots Will take/add one later

Just curious... How can OM show you being on a train? How are you using the app?

That's an easter egg ) Tap and select the blue arrow of your current position while moving.

I've got a video from during takeoff (I'll need to trim it to upload to GitHub, I suspect)...
