I am using a fresh osmand install, and now I have this widget on the right showing the wrong altitude. Always about 50m too high. The bottom widget shows the correct altitude however, that is kinda weird. I have updated the app now, but same thing.

Using f-droid latest version, but this happened also with the one I had before (4.85). I am also using brouter plugin for navigation, maybe the correct altitude comes from there idk. The wrong one is also displayed when in the default profile with no brouter involved.

Anybody else seeing this phenomenon?

Oh and the "centre map" altitude doesn't seem to be working at all, but I don't need that anyway.

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped

Do you know what this map actually does? I am wondering if it's a coincidence that when I set osmand up, I was at around those 45m of altitude, does it maybe assume altitude 0 when being set up without this map?

I don't actually know
