    Hi, new to Unity3D (5) and still exploring..

    I write a very simple script that print the GPS location to screen (almost copy everything from the sample in documents),
    but somehow when i try on my WP 8.1 device, the altitude always return zero, latitude and longitude return correctly.

    I'm sure my device working with altitude, because i have tried few apps that download from store and they work.

    am I missing anything to make altitude report correctly?

    Unity5
    target platform: Windows Store, SDK Universal 8.1

    Thank you very much

    Have you enabled Location capability in Package.appxmanifest?

    Try taking the same values from Geolocator directly. No need to use Unity, just create simple XAML application. It's quite possible that altitude is not reported by device.

    as you suggested, i create a simple XAML app, and i just realize I was so stupid...
    during the testing i was at indoor, so the location info are obtained from cellular or wifi, not satellite,
    of course altitude is not available.

    Tomas: this is not a "bug", my bad:p
    i bring my phone outdoor and it work
