Simply Altitude

Beschreibung

This simple widget tries to provide an easy way to see your current altitude (elevation).By default my vívoactive® HR can only show elevation as a data field in an activity app. I sometimes find it useful to know my altitude separately from an activity data screen. This widget attempts to provide this. It simply reads and displays the device's current altimeter value.The altitude is shown in metres or feet according to your device settings. You change the units by changing the device settings. For example on my vívoactive® HR I follow Settings - System - Units - Elevation - Feet/Meters.

Leider zu ungenau. Manchmal mehr als 200m. Das sollte nicht sein.

Thank you for your review. I agree it can seem inaccurate. For accurate results you must calibrate your watch first. Ich stimme zu, dass es ungenau erscheinen kann. Für genaue Ergebnisse müssen Sie zuerst Ihre Uhr kalibrieren.

Malheureusement, comme je l'ai déjà expliqué, ce n'est pas la faute du widget, c'est la montre qui n'est pas calibrée.

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, as I say in the description, the widget simply displays what it receives from the device. If the altitude displayed is wrong it's because your watch is wrong.

I wish the altitude would update automatically. I have to press a button my watch for it to update

Antwort des Entwicklers
23. Juni 2021, simonletts

Thanks for your review. If you have a request it's always best to contact the developer directly. Widgets time out and as such are not meant for the on-going long term display of information.This widget is simply used to show the current value of a sensor so I implemented it as a snapshot with no further complications.

Works exceptionally well in open areas and even on flights . Kudos to the work

Antwort des Entwicklers

Thanks for your kind review. I can't really take credit for it working well though - it's your watch that's getting the data. I just display whatever it gives me.

Forerunner 245 Music，人在平地錶卻顯示3,4百？

Antwort des Entwicklers
25. Mai 2021, simonletts

如果您的手表是这样想的，那就是我的应用程序将显示的内容。它只是显示从设备中获得的信息。 If that's what your watch thinks, that's what my app will show. It just displays what it gets from the device.

Works EXACTLY as advertised. I have vivoactive 3. The barometer screwed itself up indigo swimming or flying. You just have to turn on a GPS activity for 30 seconds to recalibrate. Developer does not need to be so rude to people who haven’t figured it out yet. Again….app works great. Thanks!

Antwort des Entwicklers
25. Mai 2021, simonletts

Thanks. I'm glad it works for you. Also, I apologise if you you think I'm rude (you'll see that's not always the case!). But I get fed up with people being rude about the app, i.e. me, when in reality the app works as it should but the issue is with the watch. 1) Read the description. 2) Contact me directly - you'll always get a positive response.

Hight calibration The altitude at my position varies from -40 to +50 meters. Therefore (re) calibration of the altitude makes neasurements dringend the day more trustworthy. The question is how can the app set the level at the altitude where you are at that moment? NB can be at a pas with an altitude sign.

Antwort des Entwicklers
16. April 2021, simonletts

I'm sorry you don't understand the limitations of this app. It simply displays the altitude given to it by the watch, no more, no less. If you have a question, please contact me directly.

I am very sorry you don't work. I am also sorry you don't know how to use your watch, perhaps you should have asked for help. The widget does work, it displays what the watch tells it, good or bad.

Calibrage impossible !!

Antwort des Entwicklers
27. Dezember 2020, simonletts

1. You should try contacting the developer for help before leaving a poor review. 2. Calibration isn't impossible. It's a function of the watch, not the app. I recalibrate mine frequently. If yours doesn't allow it, blame it not me.

Works as intended with the Fenix 6x Shows the same altitude as displayed by the watch in the native ABC widget.

I received my watch and right away I wanted an altimeter. I downloaded this and I couldn't fight it how to install it. My fault!!! I just got the watch. I emailed the Developer and he replied right away with directions on my watch. Altimeter is great easy to read while hiking. Exactly what I needed. Customer service is great. I will look for apps from this developer first.

Thanks for your kind review. Very happy it does what you want & glad I could help.

Drew Biermann

Does what dev says it does. Like he mentioned it’s pulling data from the watch so your watch is the issue if it’s not showing the correct altitude.

Antwort des Entwicklers
12. August 2020, simonletts

Thanks for your understanding review. I recognise the limitations of my widget with non-barometric devices. I decided it wasn't up to me to not make the app for those watches, it was up to the user to understand their watch and make an informed decision as to whether the app was for them or not.

Henry

I can’t say that it works to well on my vivoactive 3. It’s off by about 100-200 feet. I might need to calibrate? I don’t know how thought so if I could get help that would be nice!

Antwort des Entwicklers
5. August 2020, simonletts

Thank you for your review. If you need help it's better to use the Contact Developer link than a review. If you read the app description you will see I have already included a link to Garmin's instructions about how to calibrate the vivoactive 3.

Extremely inaccurate sometimes off by 1000 ft

Antwort des Entwicklers
13. Juli 2020, simonletts

I'm sorry you can't get my app to work. It just shows what the watch gives it. If your device isn't calibrated you won't get good results. The problem is with the device not the app. If you use your watch properly the widget works well. If you think the issue really is the app why not ask for help before leaving a poor review?

Non funziona su Forerunner 245

Antwort des Entwicklers
1. Juli 2020, simonletts

I'm sorry you couldn't get my app to work on your watch. Why not contact me for assistance before leaving a poor review? In what way did it not work? If it really doesn't work I want to know more so I can fix it. The Forerunner 245 doesn't have a barometric altimeter. Did you make sure you had a good 3D GPS fix before using the widget? The app just reports what it gets from the watch.

As the title says, it's quite simple. Just altitude is displayed. I went for the myABC widget instead, as it has more useful information

Antwort des Entwicklers

Thanks for your review. My app simply shows your altitude, in a large font, as that was all I needed. If you want more information myABC would be a good choice.

Nice widget. Exactly what I was looking for. Uses the altimeter of the watch which is calibrated when gps is operational so don’t blame the widget when the value is wrong, just put on the gps and wait

Antwort des Entwicklers

Thanks for your review. I'm glad you understand how to use it! As you say, if the watch isn't calibrated the widget will show the wrong value.

It shows an altitude of 1300m on my Garmin Vivoactive 4S which is about 1000m too much...

Antwort des Entwicklers
1. März 2020, simonletts

As the description says, the widget simply reads and displays the watch's own sensor value. What you see is what the Garmin system provides. An uncalibrated watch gives poor results. I understand some watches are worse than others.

Antwort des Entwicklers

Thanks for your review. I guess the 735 only supports altitude from GPS and you didn't have 3D fix. Unfortunately, as I only have access to my own watch, I don't know the capabilities of all the other possible devices. A shame, I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.
