Elevation Tracker 2.3
Device: iOS iPhone
Category: Navigation
Price: $1.99, Version: 2.2.1 -> 2.3 (iTunes)
Description:Do you bike, hike, ski or perform any activity that involves lots of hills? Did you ever wonder just how much climbing and descending you're doing? If so, Elevation Tracker is for you.
This app uses the iPhone's GPS receiver to track elevation changes, calculates your total climbing and descending as well as your average and maximum gradients, average speed, and distance, and generates an elevation profile, all in real time. You can even drag range selectors onto the profile to calculate stats for just one portion of your route.
As of version 2.2, the app includes all functionality with no in-app purchases required: you can save routes to your history, email route summaries and profile images, send GPX data to other applications, or download refinements from an online elevation database, all for one low price.
The app works in the background or with your device locked, and can run alongside other GPS apps you might be using.
Disclaimer: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
What's New
- Added a free Pebble app that you can use to display current values on your Pebble smart watch. You can install the app onto a paired Pebble watch from the Settings tab.
- Added an automatic backup that runs approximately every minute while tracking. If the app unexpectedly shuts down, it will reload the backup the next time it launches, and offer to either continue tracking from the same point, or save what you've tracked so far.
- Fixed a bug that reset the current tracking when viewing the Settings tab.
