The option to use GPS for the altitude reading.

[evildronepilot]

Current Behavior

Best to my knowledge inav on the allows fully operational automations like rth if barometer is present. else automated altitude control is disabled.

Desired Behavior

Instead of combining data from barometer+GPS I would like to see the option to only rely on the GPS reading for automated control of altitude.

Suggested Solution

The implication of the solution with obviously be less precise altitude control/measurement... which in my opinion can be counteracted by using accelerometer reading? ( it used to be the case for cc3d software if I'm not mistaken )

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

The benefits of this would be absolutely extraordinary. Incredible amount of people will then be able to use inav with it's automated flighthe features that they haven't been able to use before. If the dynamic filters would come with it then Betaflight doesn't really make sense anymore!

Additional context

I made the comment about the G force reading some time ago.... when most people was saying it's completely useless .... no one will ever use it.... now many people think it's one of the coolest feature!

' at the end of the day it's all about fun and the ability to enjoy oi a little things'
Safeties obviously I quite important concern but lack of barometer should not cut so many people off from using INAV!
