What altitude do you write when exporting a recorded track to kml file? BARO or GPS alt??

Hi Bitbrusher
Good observation: "There's something rotten in the state of Denmark"

Thanks for question - application saves GPS raw data (not geoid corrected). This is not good.
So next upgrage - altitude will be either GPS (geoid corrected) or Baro. It will depend if you use Baro or GPS altitudes for terrain...

Btw:
When you export flight track to KML and import to Google Earth, you can see this:

Hi Petr

It was just when I was observing an exported track I found the altitude data very strange.

I was in a comercial flight and noticed that I was using BARO alt and the altitude was correctly stucked at 7500FT (cabin altitude).
I then changed FiF to GPS altitude and this change did not appeared later in the exported KML file.

With your bug correction, changes like this will be recorded, right?

Cheers

Yes, today I removed this bug - altitude is writing to logbook correctly now (GPS altitude corrected or baro altitude). Version 12.50 will solve problem. I am implementing nowpossibility of navigating to 2 WPTs together. I hope I will upload upgrade until Wednesday...

Edit: I just have uploaded version 12.50 to the Google Play.

I think this is still bugged.

This is an excerpt of my last flight exported as a kml file:

I can send you the kml and/or gpx file. Just tell me how.

Hi,
Did you use baro or gps altitude?
Please send your kml and logbook.db to kitercuda at gmail dot com.
Thanks

I used Baro Alt.

Remark: I flew from A to B and back. I then merged the two generated files with FiF.

Both files sent.
Did you receive them ok?
