Original Release Date for this iPhone App: December 30, 2008
This photorealistic altimeter simulates the analog altimeter commonly found in general aviation airplanes. The meter movement is smooth and realistic.
NEW VERSION 1.06 includes:
1. GPS Signal Strength Indicator
2. Adjustable digital display colors
3. Added ability to change the status bar between black, white, and off
4. Added ability to disable the iPhone auto-lock setting to keep display backlight on while this application is running
See your current altitude in both analog and digital displays simultaneously. Both displays can be configured independently to show either Meters or Feet.
Has a Simulation mode so the instrument can be demonstrated indoors. 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 an iPhone 3G or 3GS. It has been tested with an iPhone 3G running firmware version 2.2.1 and through 3.1 only. | | Price: | $0.99 |
