SynScan handset settings

Using the SynscanInit app it gives me an elevation of 55m, now I'm approx 200m from the sea so there's no way I'm 55m above sea level [if that's what it means}. How exact does this have to be?

Have a look at some apps for your phone, my built in compass (iPhone app) shows coordinates and elevation.

There are also online GPS location sites that will tell you.

It's not too important though, just change it to 20m or what you feel is right.

Try this site, click your location and it shows the elevation just above the map.

Thanks, the reading it gives is a bit more realistic

Out of interest I just checked mine the synscan app says 178m the map says 174m so not that far out for me , but I do turn on  the synscan app and leave it for about 3 minutes so it has time to give a better reading

The SynScan app still gives a daft reading for elevation, even after waiting 5 minutes, so I just enter 15m and it seems ok
