Quite often get pop up warning terrain e.g. "Climb above 1500'" but already flying much higher than that. Why is this?
Thanks

Other people have reported when playing back tracks from SD that have been taken using a built in tablet GPS, that their altitude drops to zero at seemingly random times during the flight. This can be seen on the elevation display at the bottom. Do a review of the flight to see if this is/was the case. I can only think that the built in GPS on tablets is losing the altitude somehow, maybe through a drop out of number of visible satellites. I don't seem to get it, but I have a canopy aeroplane. I also these days generally use the WAAS/EGNOS enabled GPS on my PilotAware as my GPS source.
