Altimeter

Discover a streamlined way to ascertain your precise altitude with the Altimeter app. Tailored for Android users, it equips you with accurate elevation data above mean sea level (MSL) at your current location or any pinpointed spot across the globe. Utilizing the EGM96 Earth Gravitational Model, this app ensures you're furnished with true altitude readings without the need for a live network connection, offering functionality even when offline or in airplane mode.

Altimeter boasts a multitude of features designed for convenience and precision:

- True altitude readings above mean sea level, leveraging the robust EGM96 model.

- Compatibility with the Ordnance Survey National Grid (OSGB36).

- The choice to use either Barometer or GPS Satellite for altitude measurements.

- Access to the address of your current location.

- The capability to store altitude data for various locations.

- An estimation of the altitude and horizontal accuracy.

- The option to select a location on a map and obtain its altitude.

- Integration with photo geotags to showcase the corresponding altitude.

- Location search functionality via name or address.

- Coordination with Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) and Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) coordinates.

- A helpful home screen widget that displays the current position's altitude.

For map-based altitude queries, an active network connection is required.

The platform negates the discrepancies often found in standard GPS elevation, which can deviate by up to 100 meters due to its reliance on an ellipsoidal model of the Earth. Its geoid-based vertical datum offers a more refined assessment.

Furthermore, altitude readings come with an accuracy definition rated at 68% confidence, encapsulating the probable range where the true altitude is likely to be located.

With the Altimeter app, you can arm yourself with confidence as you navigate through terrains or track your aerial endeavors, relying on it as your dependable source for elevation data.
