GPS Altimeter APP on my Google Pixel 2 phone

Having read all the horror stories about altimeter errors on the new Garmin Forerunner 645 I was curious to see how the Fitbit Ionic fared.

So, on this relatively warm Spring day I sat on the steps outside our house with my Fitbit Ionic, by 10″ ASUS Android Tablet and my Google Pixel 2 phone. I had various GPS Altimeter APPS on the tablet and the phone. So, I kicked them up and also invoked the Fitbit Ionic Altitude APP.

None of the readings match up to each other!

Sacré bleu. This is pretty bad.

I will have to do more research. I expected some variance BUT nothing this bad. Basically NONE of my GPS altitude readings match. Oh, dear.
