This symbol just started showing on my gadget cluster, cannot find it in the manual. The one to the right of the cruise control symbol.

Never seen that before but if I was gonna design an icon for elevation that's what it would look like. Does 990ft line up with where you are/were?

That’s the altitude of my house. Why is it just showing up?

Page 241. Doesn't show the altitude icon but it explains how to add the altitude and other displays to the Multifunction Display. My guess is that when cycling through settings, that line got changed. Or else ghosts in the car!

I guess that's it, GPS altitude, but I don't remember setting it. Getting old isn't always fun!

Went hunting for it on my car and, sure enough, it's one of the many things you can put in the customized vehicle info screen.

On a barely related note, when I was developing the Track Nanny (GPS controlled PSE exhaust), I wanted to better understand how GPS even works. This video is about as good as it gets in terms of explaining how it works, it case you are looking for some weird new info to enhance your Tuesday. :)
