V5.1.0 - 462 New altitude/heading shows incorrect Data

[Rob Verhoeff]

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

[Con Hennekens]

@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.

[Reinhard Punz]

@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.

[Con Hennekens]

@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.

[Reinhard Punz]

@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?

[M. Schrijver]

@stanisław You could be right but is not more logical the top is always North and the red part the direction of riding?

[Stanisław]

I'm not trying to judge. I'm just taking what the app gives me, Corjan usually knows better

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. It may be intended that way, but I find it very confusing. I think it would be much more logical, as M. Schrijver suggests: north at the top, and the red part indicating the direction traveled.

@reinhard-punz
As written in Post #8, I already thought that you misunderstood the meaning of red part.
