Altitude Retriever Limited

Please read this description very carefully!

****************************************
NOTE : GOOGLE HAS INEXPLICABLY REMOVED TRACK SHARING FROM MY TRACKS SO DO NOT UPDATE TO MY TRACKS 2.0.8 OR HIGHER OR YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO CORRECT TRACKS. GPX FUNCTIONS ARE NOT AFFECTED.

If you have already updated My Tracks you can very easily find a copy of My Tracks 2.0.7 APK (program) to download to your device an side load it. My Tracks 2.0.7 is available for download at apk mirror.(http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/my-tracks/my-tracks-2-0-7-apk/).

This is all not under my control. Please do not rate my app poorly because of what Google has done. Many other applications are also crippled by this.
****************************************

Bummed out by how far off the GPS altitude is on your device? Let the Altitude Retriever fetch for out.

NOTICE: Altitude can only be fetched for land surfaces that lay between 60 degrees north latitude and 54 degrees south latitude. Countries such as Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, and most of the state of Alaska will not work. Refer to http://1.usa.gov/Mq9AW7 for a coverage image.

- Automatically correct and save My Tracks tracks (Version 2.0.7 or earlier)
- Corrected tracks can be uploaded to Google in My Tracks (Version 2.0.7 or earlier) just like any other except the altitude is CORRECT!
- Correct altitude in any GPX file.
- It even adds altitude data to GPX files missing altitude data

Mobile device GPS altitude data is notoriously error prone. This application will use the latitude and longitude values in a My Tracks track, or GPX file, to retrieve more accurate altitude data from the Internet. Note that if any error in your phone's a latitude and longitude will affect corrected altitude data. This will be most noticeable for data related to canyon and mountain side tracks.

This is a Limited VERSION. It will let you see the fully corrected altitude data in a before/after chart but will only save the first 3 Miles (~5Km) to My Tracks. This will let you verify that all features work on your device. Upgrade to the paid version to get waypoint support, remove adds, and work with tracks of any length.

NOTE: In order to use this application you must have My Tracks (Version 2.0.7 or earlier) installed and enable sharing in My Tracks.
