Wrong Elevation display (Loss/Gain)

Davide Grimoldi shared this problem 3 years ago
Not a Problem

Goodmorning everyone. For about 3 months I have noticed a problem related to the lost / gained elevation indication, after having recorded and saved the track. The values are exaggeratedly high and incorrect. See attached screen shoot. I have not changed the device or the application settings. Can you help me? Thanks a lot

Hi Davide,

Locus Map processes elevation gain from the data it receives from your phone GPS. If the data are incorrect or contain huge deviations, then the resulting elevation gain is also incorrect. Locus Map, however, offers a few methods on how to limit these deviations. Open Locus settings > GPS&sensors:


- Location filter > select medium or heavier filter


- Google Services assisted location > turn it ON


- Altitude manager > settings tab > SRTM data - select "Optimize GPS values" or "Replace GPS values"


- Altitude manager > settings tab > Pressure sensor > turn ON (if available)


- Altitude manager > settings tab > Altitude filter - select medium or heavier filter
