BAROMETER: works or not?  Empty BAROMETER: works or not?

Post  neobios Fri Aug 17, 2012 8:19 pm

Why I select "calculate altitude from barometer" the track result after a trip is all with altidude = 0 ?
Can someone confirm if the altitude from pressure gauge operates in OruxMaps?

My device is Sony Xperia Active ST17

I've installed BAROMETRIC ALTIMETER an application from GPlay:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snakebite.mike.altimeter&hl=it
and this is ok....
Why not in Oruxmaps?

Mi device is based on Android 4.0.4

Hi,
yes the Xperia Active has a barometer, I have this model my self.
Since update 4.8.61 the starting of the barometer is not working correct.
In the former Version, you started the App, started GPS, calibrated the barometer, wait a few minutes and start your trip with record.
And the altidude was recorded correct.

In the new version 4.8.61 if you do it the same way, the altidude will not record it will stay at your starting elevation and shows zero climbing.
But if you go to settings/GPS and tick BAROMETER FOR ELEVATION off and on, then start record, the Barometer will work correct.
You can even do this during recording (off/on) and the Barometer starts to work correct, with your calibrated elevation plus the meters you allready climbed.

Regards

when i use the Barometer with my Xperia Active it shows the correct absolute Sealevel, but somehow the total "gain altidude" is always less than my garmin edge 305 and other Bike-Computers calculate. With a total climb of 1500m it differs about 2-300 Meters.. was it my fault? where can i adjust the Calculation-Settings to have about the same as in my Garmin?

Thanks!

Hi,
I see the same difference, but in the other direction, on Altitude with my Xperia Active and a Sigma Bike-Computer.
Oruxmaps is 100m MORE then the Bike-Computer by a total climbe of aprox. 500m.

No Problem on an Bike, but when you use it to fly a 747 maybe you get into trouble. Wink Laughing
