is there an app that can calculate your current altitude?

Need a app that can do that... google earth for the pc gave good elevation based on where u placed your mouse on the map.... the map function unfortunately doesn't or if so... don't know how to access it

Google has not released a Google Earth for Android yet. I figure they will at some point.

Try using Instamapper. It gives your current latitude, longitude, speed, heading, altitude, accuracy, and # of satellites. I've had it installed for about a day and a half so far and it seems to work really well.

orienteer does pretty much the same thing.

True, I've got that installed as well. I like instamapper though because it actually tracks you and you can share your location with others either via facebook or an embedded map on a webpage.

But for simply getting the altitude, orienteer probably is the better program. I just forgot about it
