It might be what I want BUT after upgrading for to the "PRO" version Google took over my phone forcing me to exit the app to get rid of Googles add that would not allow me to do anything unless I purchased their Audio player! Is there a means to get rid of the Google ads?

Only reason I needed it was to log lines of contour for swales. Altitude - is only part of Pro-version, and not provided.
