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

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.
It works so well! It accurately senses the elevation change from dropping off a desk to the foot! It auto-fetches the altimeter setting from the nearest airport. It also lets you tune the calibration to get measuremt to agree with a position at known elevation, like if you're at sea level.
Pretty accurate if I use only barometic pressure. I move the phone 2 metee upward and the altitute increase 2 m But today when i am opening the app is always not responding...and my android warning that the app is still running in background
