Works well with all my navigation apps

Doesn't work most of the time. Only works, sometimes, after I manually open it and reset the settings. Im happy I actually paid money for a non-functional app., that the developers don't fix.

I really like the floating widget when using Google maps. But it doesn't always work. If I reboot my phone it works fine when I launch Google maps. But then later when I go to use Google maps again and the altimeter widget appears, it just shows zero for altitude. I have to reboot the phone to get it to work again. Not good for a paid app.
