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!



I use https://viewer.nationalmap.gov/basic/ for accurate elevation data.

I used SeeYou 4 for a number of years and it worked pretty well in this regard. More recent versions... not so much. Ridge top waypoints created in SeeYou always have elevations lower than actual. I have seen errors as large as 600'.
