    Does Germany has his own App Store? Can you share the URL from the App Store? Can't find it in the Netherlands.

    @Rob-Verhoeff This app is only for Android, IOs doesn't allow the floating icon.

        @Jörgen Then again, that's clear and I was misled by your own footer in which I only have eyes for the iPhone 😉

          @Jörgen A bit late, but thanks. Being an iPhone-user, that app is not for me, but good to know something like that is available. 👍

            @Rob-Veerman Sorry this was in the Beta area.

            Here the text.
            Hi, just found an App to Display the hight where you are. Adjustable in size, color, position etc. and displayed where you want.
            The App is called Maps Altimeter.

              Wow, too bad this is not possible within iOS. Hopefully the feature can be built into the app in the future 💪

                @Jörgen Thanks for this suggestion. I have been using this app since I found this suggestion, but I will note that it has a limitation. Because it relies on Accessibility Services in Android, depending on your phone, permissions for Accessiblity can be reset every time you restart your phone.

                On my Pixel 7 Pro running Android 16, Accessibility Services permissions are retained between restarts.

                On my Nokia XR20 running Android 14, Accessibility Services permissions are reset after each restart. As the XR20 is my dedicated nav phone running MRA (it's a very good phone for this purpose), that means I have to change a bunch of permissions each time I start the phone.

                A dedicated altitude field (toggleable on and off) would still be great to have in MRA.

                    Hi @Jörgen @David-Emmett just curious as to why altitude information is useful when navigating?
                    In an aircraft for sure, but on a motorcycle / car to me it seems like nice information but not much practical use

                      Hi, altitude information is for me like weather report, I like to know e.g. when I hit 1000m and where.

                        @Brian-McG, it's just interesting information, not much more. Especially for people living in flatlands like the netherlands, like myself 😉

                        I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

                        Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.
