Google earth: appears to be above the ground by about 4,000 ft #146

What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
  When I open the .kmz file
  in Google Earth, it appears that I have to have an ‘eye altitude’ set to
  about 10,000 ft. to see a proper representation of the track. The track
  appears to be ‘above’ the ground by about 4,000 ft. or so.

Which Android device are you using?

What version of Android are you running?

What version of the Open GPS Tracker are you running?

Please provide any additional information below.

As a workaround, it would be an intersting option to add "discard altitude 
information".

In KML i think it would be like this:
<altitudeMode>relativeToGround</altitudeMode>

Then set 0 altitude.

Discarding information is a editing feature, better to leave that in Google 
Earth or other tools.

Storing more realistic altitude data still remains an open issue

Now with <altitudeMode>clampToGround</altitudeMode> looks good in Google Earth 
when refrains from going airborn
