About Altimeter & Altitude Widget

DS Altimeter is an elevation meter, elevation logger, and altitude mapper. In addition to showing and optionally tracking your altitude, the app allows you to search the altitude for other locations as well.


You can select from the best sources of elevation data, including:


1. Location based altitude from NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission

2. Satellite based altitude (GPS altitude) corrected to height above mean sea level (AMSL)

3. Get actual land survey altitude values for your location from the United States Geologic Survey


Devices equipped with a barometer sensor can also obtain pressure altitude which is converted to true altitude. For the most precise readings, calibrate the pressure altitude by entering a reference value or by selecting one from the app's dynamic list of nearest airfields.

USGS (United States Geologic Survey) altitude results are also available for customers in the contiguous United States, Canada and Mexico.


DS Altimeter also works offline: barometric altitude and GPS altitude corrected to elevation above sea level do not require an internet connection.


NEW IN DS ALTIMETER: Record altitude profiles and elevation tracks for your favorite journeys to the highlands, the lowlands and everything in-between!


Upgrade the application to pro and gain access to even more features including the Altimeter Widget and various barometric altimeter calibration methods.

Going skiing? Record your ski run with DS Altimeter, then view your ski trail with its elevation points on the included maps. Mininum and maximum altitude points for your run will be clearly shown.


Altitude mapping, altitude search and bathymetry (lake and sea depths) are also included with DS Altimeter. Tap anywhere on a map to get the altitude or water depth at that location.

* The perfect altimeter for skiing, hiking, mountain climbing and other outdoor sports, boating, marine navigation and anytime you are curious about your elevation!

It's a nice, simple app that is extremely accurate and doesn't load your device down with heavy resource usage. It also doesn't ask for any sneaky permissions. PLUS, the developer is SUPER RESPONSIVE with questions and even made a quick change that I asked for. You'll like this altimeter over any of the others.

I purchased the full version so I had the calibration option and it turns out there is no option to calibrate from a known altitude. You have to enter the current pressure at sea level or at your nearest airport which is totally useless if you're hiking in remote areas without internet. Such a shame :(
