Altitude

@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.

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.
@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

The App is called Maps Altimeter.@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 useBlackView BV7100, Android 12

Everyone as he likes. -

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

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

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
