It is a simple widget, which does exactly what it promises. A great additional data source to calibrate your altimeter. Also, the developer is very responsive to questions.

I'm sure it ever worked. Tried to get the elevation a dozen or so times regardless of whether I was on 25th floor balcony or standing on the street elevation was still the same.

Hi Michael! Thanks for your review. As stated in the description, this widget retrieves the elevation of your current location from the INTERNET. It does NOT rely on the built-in barometric altimeter. So the widget will show the same number if you are on the 25th floor or at the street level, because it uses the GPS coordinates to retrieve the elevation data from the internet. The internet doesn't know in which floor you are (luckily ;-)). The number will most likely refer to the elevation at the street level. So you can use this number to calibrate your sensor. From that moment on, you can use the built-in altimeter to check the elevation in case you are in a higher floor of a building. Kind regards

Beautiful App, on Vivoactive HR it works Great, Thanks to the Developer who was very timely and precise in providing the unlock code and detailed instructions, and it was all very simple.

Works great - why does the widget need access my fitness profile ? GPS and Internet I do get ... but all the other data HR, ANT+, ... ? Why is this data collected ?

Thanks for your review. We don't collect or sell user data. The profile is only needed to validate the unlock code (in case you pay via PayPal). We'll check if we can avoid asking permission to read some sensor data which is not used by the app. Thanks for the feedback.

Handy to set the elevation, especially if you have traveled recently. I've had "Relive" routes have starting elevations that were way off so the resulting track was floating high above the ground.

Very good and useful widget for calibrate sensor, it is very accurate. It is pity that garmin environment has prohibited to auto calibrate help with 3rd sides, this widget would be ideal tool.

Bei mir hat das Widget eine Falsche Höhe angezeigt. Anstelle 55m über Meeresspiegel wurden 36m angezeigt. Diese Differenz ist einfach viel zu groß.

The widget seems to quickly acquire elevations and does exactly what I had hoped. The reason for five stars is the Developer. I had a couple of issues and the response was almost immediate. It turned out to be "user error" but he was gracious and kind. Job well done!

Decided to go for the Pro just minutes after my download and things went great. The instructions sent on how to set up the Pro were very easy and detailed. Very happy with this app and now looking at others from the same developer. I use a Garmin Vivoactive and this app works very well with that model. Very happy with the purchase.

Trial is too short and no option to change to metric units
Developer Reply
January 21, 2019, r.485
The widget follows the units defined on your system settings. The exact procedure to change depends on your device. Check the use manual or google "garmin change units Vivoactive/Fenix/Forerunner...". On the Fenix 5, for example, it works like this: (1) Hold MENU. (2) Select Settings - System - Units. (3) Select a measurement type. (4) Select a unit of measure. --- Source: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/fenix5/EN-US/GUID-4E76487B-6F62-415D-9419-C7E4292F5BC6.html

Perfecta, es una aplicación basica si quieres configurar correctamente la elevación ante de una ruta.

It'd be great if Garmin would implement a sixth star for these reviews. :-) The application itself itself fills in some functionality that I've LONG wanted in my GPS, having gotten tired of obtaining elevations for trailheads and summits beforehand to calibrate my unit. Zooming in on trailheads with Google Earth makes for pretty pictures, but it's tedious and, apparently, :-) quite unnecessary. The hypothetical sixth star goes to the developer, r.485, who worked with me to get past Garmin's issues with the Connect IQ Store. I wasn't able to unlock the purchased version of the Elevation widget until Rodrigo went many extra miles (km / 1.61 for those of you outside of the U.S. :-) to get my copy registered, including implementing some diagnostics in the application to check what the what was. :-) It turns out that Garmin has stored incorrect values for some of my vital statistics, making the generated key incorrect. The problem was solved, and I'm a very happy customer. The developer's follow-up and professionalism was very timely, very thorough, and very much appreciated! Thanks again!
Sorry, no statistics available yet.
