Wrong elevation gain

Adam Wierzgoń shared this problem 2 years ago
Closed

I use Locus Pro for few years. For few months now my Locus is recording wrong elevation gain.

It was ok for years, it was ok on my current smartphone.

I thought, that my device is broken (Samsung Galaxy A40)... I installed new free version on my wife's device (Samsung Galaxy M21) and it was the same problem. Restored defaults, the same.

I tried to record the same track on other app and I found out, that it's Locus problem.

Elevation gain is completly wrong. Look at pictures.


Please help.

Hello Adam,

Locus Map processes altitude from data it receives from your phone's GPS.

If the data is incorrect or contains large deviations, the resulting altitude is also incorrect.

However, Locus Map offers several methods to reduce these variations. Open Locus settings> GPS and sensors:


- Position filter> select medium or heavier filter


- Location supported by Google> turn it on


- Altitude Manager> Settings tab> SRTM Data - select "Optimize GPS Values" or "Replace GPS Values"


- Altitude Manager> Settings tab> Pressure Sensor> On (if available)


- Altitude Manager> Settings tab> Altitude Filter - select a medium or heavier filter

Have a nice day

The point is that before 10.03.2021 recordings were correct and that on my other recorder (mapa turystyczna) everything is still ok...

Hello Adam,

Okay, I reopened the ticket. Please try to describe the current state of the problem and the behavior of the application. Do you have the latest version? Have you tried all the steps my colleagues have recommended?
