My Altitude vs Elevation
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
My Altitude
This app displays your current location's latitude, longitude, and altitude using GPS. It also provides barometric pressure, water boiling point, and weather information. You can capture photos with location and elevation data, and even get the altitude of any location worldwide.
- Elevation from sea level (metric/imperial)
- Latitude and longitude coordinates
- Barometric pressure and water boiling point
- Current weather information
- Take and watermark photos with location/elevation
- World altitude lookup

My Altitude uses GPS signals to determine your current location, showing your latitude, longitude and altitude (height from sea level) barometric pressure and water boiling point. It's a free app and does not have any limitations. In-App purchase can be used to remove the bottom advertisement and to support us. This application does not need an internet connection and works best in outdoors. By default, it uses device sensor to determine the elevation from see level, but you also have the option to use NOAA data files to get the altitude of your location. On newer devices, using device sensor is more accurate. It also allows you to get a picture of where you are and save it in photo album. Picture will be sealed with coordinates of current location along with altitude and local date/time. Barometric Pressure is calculated based on elevation. On newer devices such as iPhone 6/6+ value is being delivered directly from device built-in barometric sensor, this behavior is configurable and you can switch back to calculation mode. App Features: - Elevation from see level in meter (metric) or feet (imperial) - Change between metric and imperial systems by tapping on reported elevation - Current location coordinates including latitude and longitude - Barometric pressure in various units extracted from device sensor or calculated from altitude - Water boiling point at your current location - Current weather information including temperature, condition, humidity, wind speed and wind bearing - World Altitude, get approximate altitude (elevation from see level) of any location in the world - Save altitude data for reference - Take a picture and watermark it with elevation information and share Enjoy.
Elevation
Easily find your current elevation, altitude, and height above sea level. This app allows you to check elevations by touching the map, entering an address, or using your device's GPS or barometer. It also provides valuable data for flood prediction and outdoor planning.
- Find current elevation and altitude
- Check elevation by map touch or address input
- Utilize GPS and barometer for altitude
- Record and display GPS altitude path
- Standalone barometer functionality
- Support for UTM and MGRS coordinates
- Export timestamp, altitude, pressure, and coordinates

Find your current elevation, altitude, and height above sea level easily with this altimeter/barometer app. ## Elevation Finder ## This app helps you observe the elevations of all locations on the surface of the earth by simply touch and move the map around, or input the address/location name. You can also find the elevation of your current location by using online database, built-in GPS, or barometer on your device. Elevation data benefits flood prevention, prediction of water levels in rivers, lakes, and seas, etc. Thus, knowing the elevation of places is very crucial if you are looking for a flood-free house, or planning for a hiking trip, and more. ## Cloud-based Altitude Data ## The easiest way to find altitude of any location on earth. By simply point on the screen, you can get the elevation data from a coordinate location point. “Range Mode” is available for altitude comparison (by graph and line) of each point between two selected locations. ## GPS Altitude Data ## Use built-in GPS on your device to determine the altitude of your current location. The altitude data of the area you walked-through will be recorded and displayed as a multicolored line on the map. The colors presented on the line indicate different heights. Precision indicators (horizontal resolution and vertical resolution) are displayed on the screen. ## Barometric Altitude Data ## Use built-in barometer on your device to determine the elevation of your current location. You can either measure the elevation from raw barometric data, or relative pressure from sea-level. Like GPS data, the result is displayed as a multicolored line. To get the most accurate data, it is recommended to adjust the sea level pressure and temperature prior to the measurement, and set the offset or calibration value if necessary. ## Standalone Barometer ## You can use this app as a standalone barometer. ## Air Pressure / Altitude Calculator ## Atmospheric pressure and/or altitude at your current location are calculated from known altitude, pressure of the location, temperature and/or sea level pressure. ## Support of Coordinate Formats ## This app not only displays regular latitude and longitude data, but also supports many coordinate systems such as, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system and Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) and more. ## Export of Data ## From this app, you can export many useful information including timestamp, altitude, pressure, and coordinates.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Altitude at 66% against Elevation's 30%. My Altitude also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#171 vs unranked). Elevation's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
