Can you make GPS correction optionable? I tried to fly in X-Plane this week and Skydemon gives wrong altitude (-150ft for LKPD). I get the same altitude reading in "Fly is Fun" (my backup air nav app) if correction is ON. As soon as I turn it OFF it becomes okay.

Here's a screenshot:

That's because whatever you're using to push location into Android is doing it wrong. If you read this thread fully you'll get an idea of the situation on Android. We do not plan to offer a switch within SkyDemon to adjust incorrect altitudes sent to us.

Hi,

New user here.  My setup is as follows:

Huawei MediaPad T3 8"
Garmin GLO bluetooth GPS

I've paired the Garmin and setup Bluetooth GPS as mock GPS provider, however SkyDemon is showing an altitude discrepancy.

Bluetooth GPS says 75.5ft
Sky Demon says -70ft

whilst on the ground.
I've checked that Bluetooth GPS is NOT doing Altitude correction as mentioned in other threads.

If using the internal GPS, SkyDemon appears to be correct.

What am I missing please.
