| iOS | done | vulture-ios/Packages/Flights/Sources/Flights/Elevationvulture-ios/Packages/Flights/Sources/Flights/Servicevulture-ios/Packages/Flights/Sources/Flights/Enricher/FlightElevationEnricher.swift |
| Android | done | vulture-android/data/elevation10 s budget; a timeout means no elevations (FIXED(Q23)). |
| Web | done | vulture-web/app/api/elevation.rb |
Behaviour
Section titled “Behaviour”- Vulture downloads SRTM tiles for the flight’s area from the Vulture backend and caches them on the device.
- The terrain fills the barogram and gives the height above ground in the readouts and the analysis.
- Reload Terrain (iOS) fetches the tiles again.
Platform differences
Section titled “Platform differences”- Android gives the request a 10-second budget and treats a timeout as “no elevations” (Q23); an iOS fix was requested.
