Altitude

[Jörgen]

Oh, sorry did not get this. Yes only Android.

[Rob Verhoeff]

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

[Rob Veerman]

@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.

@Jörgen
Very useful - thanks for sharing!

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.

I totally agree.

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

[Jörgen]

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

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

[Mzokk]

Dutch guys don't need mountains........any I've met are really tall

[David Emmett]

As @Jörgen says, it's just useful and interesting information.

[Brian McG]

Hi @David-Emmett I will concede it is interesting information but I still don't see how it is a useful piece of when navigating a motorcycle or car
I believe the altitude information may be contained in the recorded logs so it is available to inspect after the trip is completed
