Accuracy - Allow input of altitude in feet

Open gb-dursley opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

Bug Description In the ACCURACY window, the Your... (position) continues to use decimal degrees and metres when the user sets degrees & decimal minutes and feet in Settings, even though the accuracy data at the bottom of the window is expressed in feet.

To Reproduce In Settings:

  1. change the Coordinate format from decimal degrees to degrees decimal minutes
  2. change Preferred distance units to Feet
  3. change Preferred speed units to Miles per hour

Expected behaviour The users settings to be used throughout the App

Observed behaviour As above

App, Device and Android version: GPSTest Version 3.8.3 Acer Iconia One 10 B3-A40 Android 7.0 (Nougat) Google Play (and Gmail) not used

@gb-dursley Thanks for the feedback! I've split this into two separate issues, with the input of Accuracy location in DMS/DDM in https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest/issues/444, and this issue focusing on altitude in feet. I agree it's not currently clear that the coordinate format settings only apply to Status, especially for altitude. Supporting Accuracy altitude in feet should be easier to implement than input in DMS/DDM, so that would likely come first.

Note that following https://github.com/barbeau/gpstest/issues/529, the hint text for altitude is "Meters above WGS84 ellipsoid (Optional)", so we need to update that if feet is selected and supported as an input unit.
