I noticed my trace from spot 3 yesterday had altitude included. When did that start happening?

no reponse from Spot to my inquiry about addition of altitude...

Back in January this year, if you remember, I posted this response from them:

"Our SPOT devices are currently not capable of measuring the altitude of a location. We have not released any information on new devices or whether or not this feature will become available in the future. We apologize for the inconvenience."

I commented then that I thought it sounded ambiguous and mysterious to me, as if they were working on something.

I checked few tracking fixes on my SPOT3 earlier today and yes, the elevation of my house (about correct) was there, but I could only see it on the glideport.aero site and not on the original SPOT map site. And I didn't have to do any system software upgrade on my device. I hope to test it in flight next week, just to be positive it's the altitude of the glider and not the ground elevation.
