Altimeter Elevation Watch vs Altitude Drive

Check your current altitude and see how much you have climbed. Altimeter shows your altitude, daily peak and elevation gain on hikes, bike rides and mountain drives. Use it on iPhone and Apple Watch, or view your altitude in CarPlay. ALTITUDE IN YOUR CAR The native CarPlay app has its own view for altitude, climb or descent per minute, grade, direction, peak and gain. It is an altitude display, not a navigation app. Set it up before driving. ALTITUDE WITHOUT SWITCHING APPS Start a Live Activity on iPhone to see altitude, peak and gain on the Lock Screen. Compatible iPhones also show these values in the Dynamic Island. Live Activity and the native CarPlay app are separate features. Widgets and Watch complications show your latest available altitude data. LOOK BACK AT YOUR ROUTE Record a track and open it on the map later. The line is colored by elevation; the color scale shows lower and higher sections. Daily history shows your altitude profile, peak and ascent. Monthly and yearly views help you compare your altitude history. FIT IT TO YOUR DAY • Display altitude in meters or feet • Check altitude on Apple Watch • Use Siri or Shortcuts to start a Live Activity or ask for your altitude • Optionally use existing Flights Climbed data from Apple Health in your analysis BEFORE YOU START Readings depend on GPS reception, sensors and location permissions. Background features require appropriate permissions. iOS and watchOS limit widget and complication refreshes; these are not continuously live displays. The app does not replace professional measurement equipment, navigation or safety equipment. ACCESS New users can try the app for two days. Continued access then requires a monthly subscription, annual subscription or one-time lifetime purchase. Existing purchases can be restored in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

See your altitude change in real time. Altitude Drive fuses GPS with your iPhone's barometric pressure sensor for a live elevation readout on iPhone and on CarPlay. WHAT IT SHOWS • Current altitude in feet or meters • Vertical rate of climb or descent (ft/min or m/min) • Road gradient as a percentage — the same definition highway grade signs use • Compass heading with cardinal labels • 5-minute altitude history graph WHY IT'S ACCURATE GPS altitude alone is noisy and slow. Altitude Drive pairs it with your iPhone's barometric pressure sensor for the small, fast changes — so a single step or a subtle road grade shows up immediately, while the GPS keeps the absolute reading honest. DESIGNED FOR THE ROAD — AND THE TRAIL On CarPlay, a clean dashboard view shows altitude, trend, gradient, and heading at a glance. Color tells you both direction (red, white, or green for descending, level, ascending) and severity (green through yellow to red as the rate intensifies) without taking your eyes off the road. On the phone, everything is large, monospaced, and readable in motion. Mount it on the dash, hand it to a passenger, or take it on a hike. TRIP COMPUTER Like a car's trip computer, Altitude Drive remembers the highest and lowest elevation you reach and your steepest climb and descent. Reset with a single tap for a new drive — your trip is kept even across app launches. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Your location data is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted anywhere. REQUIREMENTS iPhone running iOS 17 or later. Location ("When In Use") and motion permissions, asked once on first launch.
