Cuz I'm just a data freak. I think it'd be cool to check the altitude wherever I am, even riding up an elevator or biking up a mountain.
That's another question, how often do they re-calculate the altitude? Hopefully it's not just a once every 60 seconds kind of deal. |

btw - my plane has 3 gps units in it and none of them are as accurate as the old steam gauge altimeter in the panel. Why? None of them are approach certified. |

A lot of new smartphones have built in gps receivers, so I am sure there could be options for getting altimeters on a lot of them.
iphone and the blackberry storm are two that do have gps receivers, I will check my storm to see if the garmin program provides an altimeter or if my weatherbug program does.

The blackberry storm will report elevation in an app called Blackstar. Apparently there is a bug that inverses the number, but it is still giving you an accrurate number, just with a - sign on the front.
