Do you bike, hike, ski or perform any activity that involves lots of hills? Did you ever wonder just how much climbing and descending you're doing? If so, Elevation Tracker is for you.
This app uses the iPhone's GPS receiver to track elevation changes, calculates your total climbing and descending as well as your average and maximum gradients, and generates an elevation profile, all in real time. The app works in the background or with your device locked, and works in conjuction with other GPS apps you might be using.
This free download lets you track one trip at a time, resetting your data between trips. You can enable the History tab to save and reload previous trips with a $1.99 in-app purchase.
Please read before using
- The iPhone uses GPS triangulation rather than geological survey data or barometric pressure changes to calculate elevation. This may be less accurate than more specialized equipment. Therefore Elevation Tracker is designed for enthusiasts but is not intended for professional use.
- The maxiumum gradient calculations are particularly prone to error, but we've added some error correction to deal with this. Please contact us if you have any feedback about the accuracy of the calculations.
