You do realize that the world isn't actually round, right? It is now 348 miles over the ground as it transits the pole, and then it will ‛drop‛ down again as it approaches the equator, and then go up again over the north pole.

Ok, thanks for the info. I have not been looking at it long enough to know what normal should be.

It was right over my location a while ago.

It just went over the equator and did not loose altitude. Now 361mi.
