To determine these measurements, the app makes use of your phone's sensors and GPS.<\/p><p>This altimeter app does not require you to connect to the internet. In addition, you can take photos directly in the app with all the parameters so you can show on social media what you have achieved. Available for Android and iOS.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Altimeter Ler<\/h3><p>Altimeter Ler is an Android app for anyone who needs to climb somewhere. It includes a compass, a tracker and an altimeter. It can also inform you about the weather. Most of the measurements are carried out with GPS.<\/p><p>Like the previous application, it allows you to take photos and then add the coordinates and some of the parameters you select.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Elevation<\/h3><p>My Elevation is an app that is only available on Google Play. It requires a data connection to work and only if you are located on the ground. This is because the programme uses latitude and longitude to calculate altitude.<\/p><p>If you don't have a problem with having to use the internet connection and draining the battery, you can use the app. It is one of the most suitable for short distance walking or other non-travel related purposes.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accurate Altimeter<\/h3><p>Accurate Altimeter is an altimeter application available on Android. No internet connection is required to take and transmit measurements. The app can use three different methods to get the results.

Travel Altimeter Lite bases its operations on pressure changes. Therefore, you need to set the reference pressure and altitude. Then, when these change, the app will show you the changes. The sensors used by the app are considered to be very accurate.<\/p><p>A compass is also included in this application, ensuring real-time orientation.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>You may have learned that the application <strong>Runtastic Altimeter<\/strong> has features and functions that make it recommendable for mountain sports enthusiasts.
