About this app
The most downloaded Altimeter for Android that does not need internet to work!
- Altitude estimation with three different methods to be always sure to get a reliable measure, even without internet connection.
- Historical charts to see your excursions elevation gain.
- Maps with peaks' name and contour lines. Pick elevation from any point on the map.
- Pictures with impressed place name and altitude.
Altitude can be estimated:
- With satellites triangulation. Slow and less accurate but it works even with no internet connection.
- Taking the ground elevation at your current position from a global elevation map.
- Using the pressure sensor of your device (if available). It calibrates itself on pressure from the nearest weather station to improve accuracy.
As additional PRO features you can also:
- compensate systematic error of pressure sensor
- download a larger area of the global elevation map
- record altitude without opening the App
- pick elevation on the map with no limitation
- have no advertising

very nice app. the barometric part doesn't work well in Ireland because the air pressure changes so rapidly -- not the apps fault, of course! The other two readings work very well. my only complaint is that you can't set the size of the altitude text. i would much rather have the ability to shrink the graphic altimeter, which I can't read any way while riding my bike and make the numerical readout of the altitude larger. that said, it is a great app and well worth paying for.

Full page ad popped after only about 20 seconds of trying it. Uninstalled. [Response] I'm sorry, but it happened the very first time I tried it and I had used it far less than 10 mins. I'm certain of it. Perhaps there is a bug somewhere. I looked at the 3 altitudes, then went to look at the settings, and the ad came up after I left the settings. I've been a professional developer for over 35 years--bugs are a part of the development life cycle. I sincerely hope you find the problem.

Very accurate. Many users of GPS are not aware that the altitude given by GPS is based on a theoretical Geode of the Earth's surface. It can be up to 100' (33m) off. To get a correct altitude you have to have access to a database with the true altitude for every location. With that in mind, this app gets the GPS location (which is +- 5m for most locations on the Earth) and then finds the surveyed height. The location of my house is 227ft MSL and this app says 230ft MSL. Considering that I am holding it about 4' off the ground that is pretty darn good. It it is also cool that it also gives the altitude the current pressure is found in the Standard Atmosphere.

I was looking for a way to take pictures with accurate altitude metadata and this app is able to insert it. Unfortunately, it also watermarks it on the picture, rendering it useless. The developer kindly got back here saying you can remove it in the pro version, so I checked with a hiking buddy who has it and indeed you can remove the APP watermark, but NOT the LOCATION and ALTITUDE :( Hopefully the developer will consider adding this option in a future version!

The app connected to GPS a couple of times after I had first installed it, but thereafter it has always failed to locate a GPS signal from multiple outdoor locations. Rebooting my phone, stopping the app, clearing the app data has had no effect. The location based altimeter gives a figure, but this information is available online for free. My phone doesn't possess a barametric sensor, do I cannot say if that part of the app works.

Great app. I enjoy using your app. Is there a way to add coordinates to a photo as well as elevation at the point of taking a photo? It might be that the coordinate of a photo is stored within the photo - not sure. I'm a volunteer for a community group and it would be great to have the coordinates on the photo to share info more easily. For example, we have fire ants, an introduced pest, and I've been working with government officials to identify locations of their nests for treatment.
