Dear ,

I seem to have often the barometer height set to 9999 .. it then starts calibrating and a bit later the height seems working. When stopping to record a track or some other action it re-calibrates and so first sets the height to 9999 again.



Would it be possible to keep the latest calibration settings , until the next calibration is finished and hence avoid the completly wrong height of 9999 .



thanks in advance,

long time fan





PS.. seems that while i m recording and for some reason orux gets in the background (eg phone call), the gps signal gets lost .

I avoid battery saver to disable oruxmaps, but maybe i should also also avoid other app/service ( location service) to go into battery saving ..dunno what app/service that is called though.

Hello,

the newest oruxmaps 7.1.4 resolved every gps signal problems i got.

Which Android and Phone do you use? (the information could be helpful for orux to help you)



I could imagine the first reading ist from a very inaccurate gps signal.

Do you have Settings/Sensors/GPS set to barometer?

What is the calibration method for the barometer?



I got DEM files on my phone, it's more accurate than GPS in most situations.
