Precision Elevation Tracking with Travel Altimeter
Travel Altimeter & Elevation is a reliable companion for hikers and travelers, offering accurate elevation readings and seamless integration with GPS features.
Experience stunning landscapes and track your altitude or elevation with the Altimeter app. This handy tool allows you to view your altitude on beautiful landscapes that adjust to the time of day. Using the barometer, you can track changes in altitude based on pressure fluctuations. Simply set your reference pressure and altitude to see the difference in elevation between two points. It's the perfect companion for hiking and other outdoor activities.
The Altimeter app also features a compass that shows your real-time orientation in this elevation app, adding to its usefulness in outdoor adventures.
This app has received rave reviews from users:
"I love this app! I always use it when I go snowmobiling or hiking."
"This app works really well. I enjoy checking the altitude wherever I am. Nice!"
The Altimeter app offers a simple and uncluttered interface, making it easy to read and navigate. You can access information on:
- Altitude or Elevation
- Latitude
- Longitude
In addition, the Altimeter app boasts several noteworthy features:
- Highest GPS accuracy for your device
- Ground elevation data from topographical maps
- Ability to view measurements in feet or meters
- Built-in flashlight for added convenience
Sharing your experiences is also made easy with the Altimeter app. You can share screenshots that come with beautiful backgrounds on various social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email, or text message.
If you're looking to add a personal touch to your screenshots, you can upgrade to the Custom Background feature. This allows you to take a photo from the top of a mountain and overlay your altitude on the image, impressing your family and friends.
When using the Altimeter app, it's worth noting that it can be particularly helpful for individuals with high altitude illnesses or sensitivities such as chronic lung disease, asthma, COPD, and emphysema. These users find it useful for avoiding high altitudes. Hikers and climbers who want to prevent high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) also benefit from this app. However, it's important to mention that the altitude shown on the app may not always be highly accurate, so it should not be relied upon as the sole device for determining altitude for medical reasons.
