BUG: Location Height

[NiceGuy01]

Hi,

i think in the last update there is a bug, it constantly shows my location height being off by about 45-50 meters... Its always to high, even with 20 and more satellites and an accuracie of +/- 2meters

what's the elevation of your location above sea level? (that's what the GPS measures, not your elevation above the ground - also worth noting that elevation accuracy isn't great with most consumer GPSes)

Hi,

seems that there is a problem with certain Samsung devices reporting false gps data..... Of course mine is one of them

Sorry for the trouble.

if you've got a source for the list of devices with problems, please post here - it'll help other folks going through the same issues!

Hi,

it only seems to effect the Samsung A54 5G at the moment....

Well, I thought it was just me.

Samsung Galaxy J4 (SMJ400) -- the height reported by Wigle (from GPS) is consistently about 48m above reality. By "reality" I mean crossing a marked contour line in Organic Maps (open street map data) and then comparing to height-above-sea level as reported in Wigle.
