Actually there are three settings that allow you to dial in how you want the app to measure altitude. You can go go by sensor, GPS, a combo of both OR rely on just offline elevation data. There is also an altitude filter. Not quite sure what that does but I think it has to do with how the app displays the data. (Quote), "Stronger filter cause less noisy altitude values, but slower reaction on changes of altitude". ( unquote ).

I should also mention that since the Locus app is also *ANT and*BT compatible it will work with an external wireless sensor as well. ( * as long as your phone has a working ANT or BT system built into the phone )

The more I play with the app the more cool things I find out about it.
