Vertical Distance to Destination

3108822 20 days ago

Any suggestions to fix incorrect Vertical Distance to Destination readings? When I'm hiking, the field displaces incorrect elevation distances, for example, showing a positive gain when I'm on a peak and destination is below at the trailhead, or vice versa showing a negative distance when I'm heading to higher elevation.

I would first try to figure out how this is measured in first place. GPS altitude is not very precise, so barometric preasure can be used. But this is dependeing on the changes of air pressure and also wind strength etc. So there can not be any kind of absolut numerical data for this.
