    Hi, it would be useful if I can add altitude to navigation display (and in CarPlay display). Thanks

          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. 👍

                          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.
                                  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 😉

                                    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.

                                          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
