Height on the ellipsoid
Answered
Hello, can Locus Map display the height on the WGS84 ellipsoid?
Possibly at the same time and in the same window as the altitude above sea level.
Thanks
Hilbert

Hi Hilbert,
thank you for your question. This is quite a specific and rather uncommon request. However, if your goal is to display the ellipsoidal height based on the WGS84 model, you can disable Automatic correction in the Altitude manager settings. In this case, Locus Map will display the altitude directly as reported by the GPS receiver, which corresponds to the ellipsoidal altitude. For a hiking and biking application such as Locus Map, we currently consider the existing solution to be sufficient for most use cases. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
