It's in meters, but your device is fine - the issue is that that the GPS system has to make an approximation about the shape of the Earth and the average sea level, but it is only an approximation so you will find differences between the GPS average sea level and the local average sea level. See:
http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0703/geoid1of3.html if you are interested in the details. Local grid systems (like British OS grid) often use their own datums so that the height corresponds more accurately to the local sea level. A GPS application that provides altitude in such a local grid system should do the conversion for you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
