Aircraft Altimeter
|
DescriptionThis photorealistic altimeter simulates the analog altimeter commonly found in general aviation airplanes. The meter movement is smooth and realistic.See your current altitude in both analog and digital displays simultaneously. Both displays can be configured independently to show either Meters or Feet. NEW FEATURE: When application is running in application, shows and updates current altitude on icon without having to open application. The altimeter can be adjusted, similar to an actual unit, by touching the "Adj." knob on the analog display. Also includes a pop-up display showing all information coming from the iPhone GPS, including latitude, longitude, speed, heading, and horizontal/vertical uncertainty. The altitude information comes from the iPhone 3g internal GPS, which is somewhat limited. Because it is based on GPS technology, it will only work outdoors, with a clear view of the sky. The altitude reading may be hundreds or even thousands off and may take a minute or two for the GPS to lock on to the satellites. This program is intended for entertainment and/or educational purposes only. This program will only work on a device which has a GPS. It has been tested with an iPhone 3Gs and iPhone 4 running firmware version 4.x only. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. What's New in Version 2.101. Compatible with latest iOS3. Improved graphics and animations 4. Bug fixes with heading alert warning Customer ReviewsWorks OK, BUT!!! (1 star)Couple of days ago I was standing on the Ocean Beach Pier in San Diego. I pulled out the iPhone and tapped on Altimeter just for fun. There I was, about 25 feet above the ocean water and Altimeter was saying that my altitude was over 700 feet! I waited, and then Altimeter asked if it could use my current location. Well, Duh! Why would I want the altitude at some other location? So I tapped OK. It then recalculated and told me I was at 274 f Doesn't stay on the home screen (2 stars) Great idea - need an update.
