Recorded elevation is way too high.

Not a Problem

The elevation has been WAY off on my last 3 hikes - see the ones that are visible in the attached photo. Ignore the one that starts off with FS4663 because that was actually on a gravel rd in my car.

Hi,

Locus Map processes elevation gain from the data it receives from your phone's GPS. The resulting elevation gain is also incorrect if the data is incorrect or contains huge deviations. Locus Map, however, offers a few methods to limit these deviations.

Open Locus settings > GPS&sensors:

Location filter > select medium or heavier filter
Google Services assisted location > turn it off
Altitude manager > settings tab > Elevation 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
