CoreLocation/Mapkit Altitude

Question

Just a quick question, does CoreLocation/Mapkit measure altitude from sea level (elevation)?

I am using the following code

NSString *altitudeString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%.2f m", newLocation.altitude];

Thank You

Yes, you can check the altitude via the locationManager like this :

locationManager.location.altitude

you can also check the vertical accuracy with :

locationManager.location.verticalAccuracy
