Current location altitude FAQ
How do I check my current altitude?
Tap the altitude button and allow location access. You can check neighborhood elevation and browser GPS altitude together.
Why can GPS altitude and map-based elevation differ?
GPS altitude depends on device sensors and signal quality, while map-based elevation comes from a terrain model grid. The difference can be larger indoors or in steep terrain.
