  • I have to add that for some reason all the maps were switched off. I realized it just today.

    So even if there are 3 different mapset on my watch having dem, I guess disabling all of them could be the reason of not using dem data for elevation auto calibration at the start and during an activity.

    Certainly it does not explain at all that why the heck gps data have not been used since 15.20 for the same elevation auto cal.
