Read full description

Open the app and you know exactly where you stand: latitude, longitude, altitude, heading and speed on one screen, ready to copy, save or send in a single tap. GPS Coordinates & Altitude is built like a surveyor's field kit, not a novelty. Coordinates switch between DD, DDM and DMS with a tap. Every fix you stamp records speed, altitude, heading and accuracy, so what you saved is what you can prove later. WHAT YOU GET • Read your exact coordinates in the format your map, form or friend expects • Send a complete position card (coordinates, address, altitude, weather) in one share • Stamp a fix and find it again by name, note, star or search • Record trips with live duration, distance, max and average speed • Get a notification the moment you exceed a speed limit you set • Export your whole log as CSV or JSON and keep it forever PERFECT FOR • Hikers and off-road drivers who need a fix that works away from street names • Field workers logging sites, poles, samples and inspection points • Travelers sending a meeting point that never gets lost in translation • Anyone who parks, camps or anchors and wants to walk straight back WHY NOT JUST USE THE MAPS APP? Maps shows a blue dot. GPS Coordinates shows the numbers behind it, in three formats, with altitude, heading, accuracy and weather beside them. It keeps a searchable log of every place you stamped, records trips with speed statistics, and hands you a clean CSV when you need one. Maps does none of that. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your field log stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no cloud copy you did not ask for. Export it or wipe it whenever you like. Weather is fetched only for your current fix and only while you look at it. FULL ACCESS GPS Coordinates requires a subscription or a one-time purchase. Choose weekly, yearly, or lifetime. Every plan unlocks the same complete field kit: unlimited log entries, trip tracking, speed alerts, live weather, full-screen map and exports. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period and are managed in your App Store account settings. Stamp your first fix today and never lose a position again.

About

GPS Altimeter

Features
Read full description

GPS Altimeter — a GPS elevation meter and barometer built for hiking, trail running, cycling, skiing and travel. See live altitude, pressure, coordinates, compass, speed and total ascent the moment you open the app. Clear numbers, simple controls, ready for the trail. 【Key features】 • Live elevation: GPS + barometer fusion, elevation chart, session max and ascent stats • Nearby landmarks: match cities and peaks worldwide so you can compare altitude on the go • Calibration: set a known elevation or QNH sea-level pressure before you climb for steadier readings • Track recording: save elevation profile, distance, duration and map path — with optional background tracking • Watermark camera: stamp altitude, place name, GPS and date on summit photos for easy check-ins • History: keep points and tracks on device; export CSV to review every outing • Units: switch meters / feet to match your preference 【Who it’s for】 Hikers, backpackers, trail runners, ski tourers, cyclists and travelers who want reliable altitude and memorable summit photos. 【Accuracy notes】 GPS elevation varies with satellites, terrain and weather — open sky is usually better. The barometer is excellent for relative ascent; weather changes can shift absolute values, so calibrate when you can. Indoors, tunnels and dense forest may drift. App data is for reference only — use proper maps and gear outdoors, and never stare at your phone on hazardous terrain. 【Privacy】 Core samples and tracks stay on your device by default. Location, camera, photos and tracking permissions are under your control in system Settings. Download GPS Altimeter and make every climb clearer — and easier to remember.
