Your question

I have been using geolocator for quite a while, but after I just did a flutter upgrade, and now the altitude I get from listen()ing to getPositionStream() is always returning 0 for the altitude in the closure, even though there are more than 10 or 20 satellites in solution. The position I'm getting makes sense.
Using the following location settings:
locationSettings = AndroidSettings(
useMSLAltitude: true,
accuracy: LocationAccuracy.bestForNavigation,
distanceFilter: 0,
forceLocationManager: true,
intervalDuration: const Duration(seconds: 0),
//(Optional) Set foreground notification config to keep the app alive
//when going to the background
foregroundNotificationConfig: const ForegroundNotificationConfig(
notificationText:
"Marble Navigator will continue to receive your location even when you aren't using it",
notificationTitle: "Running in Background",
enableWakeLock: true,
));

This all of a sudden started happening to me. Altitude, speed and heading are all 0, but I do get lat and lon updated.

Is this a known issue? I have just switched to geolocator. With the Location package everything worked fine.
