Barometric pressure sensor calibration in an electronic device

A method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for calibrating a barometric pressure sensor in an electronic device. The method includes receiving, via a processor of an electronic device, first altitude data from a first wireless access point and triggering a barometric pressure sensor of the electronic device to transmit second altitude data. The method further includes receiving the second altitude data and determining a first difference between the first altitude data and the second altitude data. The method further incudes determining if the first difference is greater than an altitude difference threshold, and in response to determining that the first difference is greater than the altitude difference threshold, triggering the barometric pressure sensor to calibrate, based on the first altitude data.
