Altimeter+

Altimeter+ estimates elevation using GPS, ASTER data, or a compatible phone barometer.

Our take

Consider it if you want to compare several elevation readings in one app.

It can average GPS and ASTER estimates and display nearby peaks on an integrated map.

Keep in mind: Readings depend on sensors and terrain data; use an appropriate instrument for critical elevation measurements.

What you can do

  • View GPS or ASTER altitude
  • Read barometer altitude on supported devices
  • Use the map and compass or the Apple Watch companion

Good for

  • People who want a casual elevation reference

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone who needs surveyed or safety-critical elevation

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 11.1.
  • Readings depend on sensors and terrain data; use an appropriate instrument for critical elevation measurements.

Privacy & permissions

GPS and maps involve location; the listing does not describe retention or sharing.
