This simple widget provides an easy way to see your current altitude (elevation).</p><p></p><p>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 even when I haven't started an activity. The widget allows this. It simply reads and displays the device's current altimeter value.</p><p></p><p>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. </p>
Rebuilt with SDK 3.0.11 Added new devices</p><p>Added support for D2 Series & MARQ Collection (Version 1.0.0.b)

It uses up all your battery. It must be always connected to GPS, as my watch runs out of battery within a day after installing this widget. Before I would last at least 4 days

I'm really sorry you have issues with my widget. It certainly isn't intended to be permanently connected to GPS. It simply reads the altitude once and displays it. After a short period, as it's a widget, it should time out anyway. It's been installed on my Vivoactive HR for several weeks with no problems but that has a barometric altimeter. Please contact me directly through the Contact Developer link and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help.

I always wanted to program exactly this big character display for my VHR – now you did it. Thank you so much. Could you add sunrise and sunset with the same font size?

Well the trouble is, if I added anything it wouldn't be Simply Altitude any more! So, instead of adding, I've made a separate "Simply Daylight" widget (https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/da49e757-95ad-4151-bcf1-498a857a50e6). It shows sunrise & sunset in large font, just like you suggested. I hope it works for you.
Sorry, no statistics available yet.
