If altitude data is crucial for you, you may want to spend 99 cents on this app. If you’re familiar GPS devices or other high tech sports watches you may already know how inaccurate these maybe.
The way Exact Altitude + GPS works is a bit different though. It uses a built-in elevation database to read your altitude. So if you have the correct latitude and longitude you’ll have the correct altitude.
Here are some more features of the Exact Altitude + GPS iPhone application:
- Built in elevation database
- Ability to request altitude from online service
- Speed measurement and display
- Displaying the name, distance and course of the center of the closest settlement
- Shows your current movement direction
- Current position display
- Imperial or metric system
- Possibility to switch off iPhone’s sleep system which turns off the display
- Customizable display colors
