This is one of my complaints about current Apple product features. A good number of them are either unreliable, inaccurate, or just plain don’t work. Apple needs to stop rolling out new features and fix all the glitches and things like Siri and voice to text accuracy. This has been trash for way too long.
Out of curiosity what is the weather doing? weather fronts can easily move an altimeter 30m.
I haven’t been able to figure out how/if the altimeter compensates for barometric pressure.
Don’t get so high next time
usually altitude is calculated from air pressure and other factors. if pressure is changing significantly over time in the same place it may result inaccuracy and inconsistent result. So if you a bit curious about altitude gain, before starting activity you could note the starting altitude as reference instead
I’m way more concerned about why your air quality index is so bad!
Because India.
Guess what, barometric altitude determination isn’t always accurate by design.
Why would a gauge be designed to not be accurate sometimes. That makes no sense.
