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.

AlertComm helps fire, EMS, law enforcement and emergency management agencies recall and coordinate off-duty personnel when an incident needs more hands. AlertComm is a staff recall and mobilization tool. It does not replace 911, CAD or your dispatch center, and it is not a way to request emergency help. It works alongside your existing dispatch system. RECALL STAFF IN SECONDS • Launch an event and notify the right people by push, SMS, voice call and email • Staff acknowledge with one tap: participating, or unable to participate • Automatic re-notification for anyone who hasn't responded KNOW WHO'S COMING • Live status for every recalled responder: acknowledged, en route, delayed, arrived • See each person by name and role • Live map of responders converging on the scene SEND PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE NEEDED • Each responder gets a report-to location (staging, station, command post) • One-tap routing to their assignment • Event chat and documents for everyone involved OFF-DUTY AWARENESS (optional modules) • Proximity alerts: authorized off-duty responders near an emergency can answer "I'm responding" or "Unavailable" with one tap • Live audio: listen to your agency's radio channels from anywhere • AI incident feed: local radio traffic summarized into a mapped list of incidents. AI summaries can be wrong; always verify with official sources. BUILT FOR AGENCIES • Each organization controls its own users, roles and which modules are turned on • Works for fire, EMS, police, emergency management, hospitals and campus safety AlertComm accounts are provided by your agency.
