1. 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.
2. 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).
3. Pick elevation from any point on the map. - Pictures with impressed place name and altitude. - With satellites triangulation.
4. It calibrates itself on pressure from the nearest weather station to improve accuracy.
1. How about removing permissions for 1) full network access 2) view network connections 3) view WiFi connections 4)receive data from internet 5) run at startup and 6)prevent phone from sleeping if ads have been truly removed and app can be used offline?Malware , reported by both comodo and Kaspersky.
2. Uninstalled.I bought this to find elevation change on effluent pump, doesn't use GPS satellites, wants you to turn on Google track me, which is not what I like to do, at 75 plus feet higher it says I've went down hill 10 ft.
3. 3) Allow lots more sections(even the entire world)to be downloaded for offline mapThe digital readout on the main page utilizes too small a font size to be safely viewed while driving.
4. I can easily plot the snowbird route by knowing where to go based on the altitude."Purchase not correctly validated, please contact support" Bought it while it is on promotion & when i opened it everytime it shows the above statement.
5. Includes 3 ways to determine elevation, GPS built into phone, Global Elevation map, and pressure sensor.
6. Wrong! Before using the app you are required to allow permissions enabling the developer to collect personal information and use it for marketing or other purposes.
7. App is likely using GPS data off satellites to calculate elevation versus using barometer sensor.
8. Accept my recommendation and I will give you 5 stars.This is a fantastic app for keeping track of your elevation and tuning barometers and reference maps.
9. When installing, user is presented with notice / privacy policy that location data specifically is being sent to advertisers to display ads.
10. We are in the digital age and the analog altimeter needs to go away, period! This will allow you to oversize the digital readouts for safe viewing while driving.
11. It's called a "pro" version and has a regular price on Play store which I expected would mean an Ad free application with unobtrusive permissions.
