-Please do not confuse with **current altitude** that is obtained from GPS data together with values from the barometric pressure meter in your device (if applicable), [[manual:user_guide:tools:altitude|see more >>]]. Current altitude values are also used for calculating elevation gain in recorded tracks and are available also for Locus Map Free users.
