Hi,
I suspect that one of 2 things is happening.
- You may be using a bad turnpoint database. I recommend the data found he

- If you are viewing a flight log, SeeYou can automatically use the take-off and landing elevations and the SeeYou ground elevation database to offset all the flight log points to account for barometric pressure changes. It is a very nice feature.

Just started using seeyou for the first time. I created some waypoints in seeyou and noticed the altitude shown for some of the waypoints are way off. I double checked the exact same point in Google earth and the difference is about 1000'. This isn't the case for all custom waypoints I made, but it is true for most of them. How are you guys creating accurate waypoints and waypoint altitudes. Kind of crazy that seeyou is so off!
Thanks Paul! I am not using any turnpoint database and not viewing any flight log. I am just trying to mark some local landmarks as waypoints to put into my S100 vario. Im going to play around with it a bit more and see if i can figure out whats going on, but to me it seems like the see your elevations are not accurate. I guess i can always create the waypoints and then edit their altitudes based on the alt i get from google earth, which kind of sucks
