Hi,
Anyone running in the problem of not having altitude readout with the iPhone X?‌  We've tested on 3 brandnew phones, all no luck. My previous iPhone 6s worked flawless. Some other apps also don't seem to display altitude when SD is active. When using external BT GPS it's working fine..

A‌nyone have a clue?

R‌egards, Dennis‌‌

I have the same problem with my iPhone 7plus. No altitude  indication and sometimes it stopped logging due to poor GPS signal. It happens only in the air. As soon as I am on the ground (but still in the plane with running engine) GPS signal is good. It looks that when I switch to airplane mode, GPS signal is slightly better. With my previous iPhone 6 I always had perfect GPS signal with altitude indication.

My iPhone 7 running iOS 11.2.6 on SkyDemon version 3.9.109 has also issues indicating altitude. It also stops sometimes logging the flight and resumes when the GPS signal is working again.

             It certainly isn't app related.
