java-static fun addMslAltitudeToLocation(context: Context, location: Location): Unit

Adds a Mean Sea Level altitude to the location. In addition, adds a Mean Sea Level altitude accuracy if the location has a finite and non-negative vertical accuracy; otherwise, does not add a corresponding accuracy.

Must be called off the main thread as data may be loaded from raw assets.

Throws
java.io.IOException

if an I/O error occurs when loading data from raw assets.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

if the location has an invalid latitude, longitude, or altitude above WGS84. Specifically, the latitude must be between -90 and 90 (both inclusive), the longitude must be between -180 and 180 (both inclusive), and the altitude above WGS84 must be finite.
