      Hi, I think there is a problem on the elevation data in Windy Maps. In the example you find attached to this post, I walked uphill from 535m AMSL to 929m AMSL. As you can see I walked almost all the time uphill, and almost never downhill. Therefore I would expect the total elevation to be around 929m - 535m, so around 400m.
      However, as you can see, the value I read is far higher (750m) and it is so much higher it cannot be due to the fact that in some spots I walked downhill for a while and then walked uphill again.
      Is this a bug or am I missing something and that value is not indicating what I'm thinking?
      I'm using Android 10.

      Thank you

          @borosandras @gioarma Hello, this may be caused by a poor GPS connection, which calculates the elevation data. Also if you are in mountains, the connection might be bad in general.
