Easy Altimeter and Compass

About Easy Altimeter and Compass Android App

With Easy Altimeter and Compass you will get an app that will make easy for you to know your location in a map, your altitude and your heading in a compass!

Easy Altimeter has two methods of acquiring the altitude: direct GPS and Altitude Correction. Our algorithm will determine automatically which of the 2 methods is better and faster for determining your altitude based on current conditions.

- Direct GPS altitude: Easy Altimeter will get the altitude direct from the feed of your GPS. This mode greatly depends on the quality of your GPS receiver and atmospheric conditions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions may block line of sight to GPS satellites.

- Altitude correction: Easy Altimeter calculates the earth surface altitude at your GPS position. Very reliable if you are at ground level. This calculation is slower that the direct GPS method and internet connection is required to perform the calculation.

The map has also different modes:
- Terrain: Displays a physical map based on terrain information.
- Satellite: Displays Google Earth satellite images.
- Map: Displays the default road map view.
