Elevation For Real 11.0

The application provides real-time elevation data sourced from the GPS receiver of iOS devices, utilizing an integrated geoid model for enhanced accuracy.

An additional feature includes access to the USGS Elevation Web Service, which offers comprehensive elevation data for the United States. Users will find that with a clear view of the sky, the elevations calculated by Elevation For Real quickly align with the USGS values after a brief period. For users outside the U.S. or those using devices set to non-U.S. regions, as well as in scenarios where the USGS elevation service is unavailable, elevation data obtained from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) is utilized, applicable between latitudes of 60°N and 56°S.

Key features of the application include:

• A real-time map that accurately displays your current location
• Estimated vertical and horizontal accuracy information
• Access to spot elevation data through map interaction
• Unit setting adjustment available for English or metric measurements based on user region
• Convenient start/stop button for ease of use
• One-touch screenshot capability
• Ad-free experience
• An optional pressure altimeter (available as an in-app purchase) to measure relative altitudes or to calibrate against known benchmarks; functional both indoors and outdoors, including in Airplane Mode. Note: A barometer-equipped iOS device is necessary for this feature; compatible models include the iPhone 6 and later and the iPad Air 2 and later.

Users are encouraged to download Elevation For Real for a practical elevation measurement tool.

1. Homedatasheet.com, Inc. does not have any affiliation with USGS. The USGS Elevation Web Service is accessible to the public at no charge online.
2. SRTM data is provided by geonames.org, with no affiliation between homedatasheet.com, Inc. and geonames.org. It is important for U.S.-based users to note that in various cases, SRTM data may not match the accuracy of USGS data; discrepancies can reach tens of meters in certain locations.
3. The application requires a GPS signal for optimal functionality upon initial use. A clear view of the sky is essential for proper GPS reception, and obtaining a position fix may take several seconds. While Elevation For Real can function on devices lacking a GPS receiver or those not currently receiving a signal, any elevation readings produced in such scenarios will only reflect approximate ground elevation.
4. Any elevation measurements that may impact personal safety or financial considerations should be conducted by professionals utilizing accurate GPS technologies. Elevation For Real is not designed as a means to assess flood risk; licensed professionals such as surveyors or engineers should be consulted regarding any flood-related inquiries.
