Wow, it does so much more, and displays in landscape or portrait. Can change display colors, review flight later with speed, times and altitudes, and the instructions are fantastic, great product, worth a lot more than I paid for it!! ***** Malix90x – Jun 7, 2016 It is the best in its genre as it is the most complete! So many thanks to the developer :) ***** TxHornyToad – Jan 3, 2016 In a large field of "Speed" apps this has to be the best. Very clean and clear display. Very customizable. Responsive support. ***** R8Jimmy - v4.5 - Jul 6, 2013 Works as advertised. Very informative when using it on my motorcycle. Display is easy to read. Excellent support from developer. Highly recommended! ***** tmuecke - v4.3 - 30-Jan-2013 Unbelieveable that I am the first one to rate this App. ...offers great features. ...and is a must have for everybody who wants to have precise information... Perfect and thank you!!! ***** Brimstin85 - v4.1 - 22-Nov-2012 The information is large, easy to read, accurate, and intuitively laid out. The app is easy to use and very capable. It has plenty of advanced features too. Worth every penny. ***** v2.7 - 19-Aug-2011 The display is very clear and easy to read in a car and on a bike. The dev is very quick to respond to feedback as well. GETTING STARTED The dashboard displays telemetry values for the current trip. Tap Start to start a new trip or continue the current one. Starting a new trip automatically saves all of the trip data, and saved trips can be viewed via the Settings menu. An animation is shown while finding your location, after which GPS signal strength is shown as 1-5 bars (more bars is better). Tap the signal indicator to stop recording data. For more information please consult the built-in instructions. Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. iPod Touch and Wi-Fi only iPad users NOTE! you need an external GPS receiver. UPDATES Dashometer is updated with new functionality based on *your* feedback. We really want to hear your comments and ideas for new features, so please get in touch at dashometer(at)gmail.com to get support or give feedback!

Pro Altimeter for Watch

Pro Altimeter for Watch is the newest Watch app from Hunter Research, developer of the popular outdoors app Theodolite. Pro Altimeter uses the high-fidelity barometric pressure sensor in the Apple Watch to measure and compute altitude. Although this is a Watch app, it has the same features, capabilities, and accuracy as the Pro Altimeter app for iPhone and iPad, just in a smaller form factor on your wrist! Pro Altimeter has a dead simple interface. Barometric altitude and GPS altitude are displayed in large easy to read numbers, with available units of feet or meters, and realtime accuracy estimates from the hardware. At bottom are calibration and settings buttons. The display offers highly-readable color schemes of luminescent green on black, white on black, and midnight red on black. Proper calibration is necessary to measure altitude from barometric pressure (this is why a pilot "dials in" the cockpit altimeter before taking off). Pro Altimeter offers numerous methods for calibration -- choose the easiest and most convenient: 1. Use GPS altitude. This method correlates the measured local barometric pressure with the altitude measured by GPS. This method can be used when your device has a clear line of sight to the sky and a reliable GPS fix with good accuracy that you trust. 2. Manually enter altitude in feet or meters. This method correlates the measured local barometric pressure with known altitude from landmarks, elevation benchmarks, trail markers, topo maps, land surveys, etc. 3. Manually enter pressure. If you have a weather station, weather report, or METAR report with equivalent sea level pressure for a nearby location, this can be used to correlate local barometric pressure to altitude. Pressure can be entered with units of inches Hg, kPa, or mb. 4. Check local airports. With the tap of a button, Pro Altimeter will locate the five closest airports within 100 miles (160km) of your present location anywhere in the world, and pull in METAR data. From that list of five, pick the airport of your choice and Pro Altimeter will import pressure data for calibration. Once calibrated, Pro Altimeter keeps track of the time since its last calibration. Because weather and local barometric pressure change over time, the app will warn you when 6 hours have elapsed since the last calibration by flashing the "CAL" button. You should calibrate as frequently as practical -- for example, on a hike, calibrate whenever you pass a trail marker or elevation benchmark, or hourly. But at a minimum, calibrate at least every 6 hours or whenever weather changes in your area. Pro Altimeter runs on all Apple Watch models running watchOS 8.3 or later.
