ME: Place waypoints on ground level

[FalcoGer]

When placing waypoints down, they are always forced some distance above the ground. That is annoying, I want to place my waypoints on the ground, at 0ft. I would like that to be an option.

Simply type 0 at the waypoint altitude in ME, it wil place it on the ground lvl.

When you do that it immediately snaps back to like 70ft.

That's because the ground is 70 ft above seal level at that point. Type 0 for altitude and the waypoint will be on the ground exactly.

Yes cause that was the ground lvl altitude o that point.

I would still prefer that all waypoints default to ground elevation, unless manually changed, or keep the previous WP's elevation, if that was manually changed. If no manual changes are done, then the default should be the ground elevation.

Much more logical than having it be 2000m, which is an arbitrary number, from what I can tell.

no. i set agl 0 and it switches to some value greater than that.

If you're 100% sure you're using AGL, then it sounds like a bug. Otherwise, if you use ASL, typing 0 will then change it to the ground elevation at that point.
