Hi List,
I just installed TTTracklog on my TTOne, and it works like a charm :)
I'm planning to use it as a paragliding flight recorder.

I know that TT is made to work on the streets, and altitude data may be inaccurate, but I'd like to give it a spin up in the air.

What I found is that there is no setting to fix the altitude according to the geoid correction[1], so my "trial flight" (fake, by foot) went all about 40 m over the real altitude.

I don't think to a system that calculates the correction basing on the GPS coords, it would be too much work for the tiny TT processor. I think a custom fixed value (maybe in the wrapper) to be added or subtracted from the NMEA altitude could be enough for the use.
