GPS Elevation question

I did some searching and didn't find much concerning GPS Elevation. Is GPS elevation available in a datafield?
Knowing the Position Class is not option in a datafield, is there a workaround?
.
  • The Activity.Info object returned by Activity.getActivityInfo() has an altitude member. That said, there is nothing that specifies whether or not this is GPS or barometric altitude. If I remember correctly, someone had requested that the GPS elevation and barometric altitude be provided separately, but I can't seem to find that post.

    Same here - remember that being discussed, along with "heading" which could be GPS based or an internal compass.

    You pretty much know based on the device you're running on if it uses GPS or Baro for altitude.
  • We don't have separate GPS and baro altitude (yet). It's something we've already discussed quite a bit internally, and we plan on opening up the sensor data a little more. Right now, the firmware basically provides data from the best available source.
