V5.1.0 - 462 New altitude/heading shows incorrect Data
-
It’s just a nice extra feature! It’s not like your life depends on the altitude display shown by the navigation system. I see it as a fun gimmick. Whether I’m driving at sea level or at 1500 meters in mountainous terrain, it’s simply fun to see — nothing more. And I believe that’s exactly how this functionality was intended: nothing more and nothing less. Apparently, some phones handle it better than others.
@Rob-Verhoeff Agree also. Just a fun thing. Elevation isn't even critical when hill walking. I'm more of a map and old Silva compass person for that activity. I have started to use OSMand a bit whilst walking.......its a slippery slope (sorry couldn't resist)

In The Netherlands our level is based on NAP. GPS level is based on a globel level. for yhe netherlands it is arround a 40 meter differance then our NAP.

I also see the altitude information as a nice addition, but my main concern is the incorrect direction. It seems the direction is reversed, and west/east are swapped. North/south is displayed correctly on my Android devices.

@Reinhard-Punz You mean the red stripe in the compass? It always pointed to the north as far as I can see.

@Rob-Verhoeff, That is of course true, but does not reason away why other apps show it right
If correction is possible, I am all for it.I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

@Rob-Verhoeff Yes, exactly. The screenshot shows that I'm facing southwest, but the compass is pointing southeast. I'm at an altitude of approximately 331 meters.

@Reinhard-Punz, I don't think the direction you are facing is relevant. It's the direction you are moving to that is. It looks like you are stationary. Then it will not work.

If correction is possible, I am all for it.@Con-Hennekens It's true that in this example I was on foot (so very slowly). But I observed the same thing yesterday during a long car ride.

I think the red bar is showing North and all is correct, am I wrong?
-
@stanisław You could be right but is not more logical the top is always North and the red part the direction of riding?
