from particle device

Hi, what Particle device exactly? The Tracker One or something else?
If not a Tracker One, can you describe your setup?
Thanks
EDIT: oops, I just read the topic title

does this help?

coordinates are supposed to be sent to the cloud automatically once the tracker is setup.

Hello,
Is there a reason why the altitude data obtained using the Tracker One is inaccurate? Example, obtained elevation: 9.571m, actual elevation: 36m.
Thank you.

The best-case altitude accuracy is 3.5m. If you do not have line of sight to several satellites, the altitude will become inaccurate far before the horizontal accuracy does. This is why there are separate hdop and vdop values.
