does it give elevation so you know how high you've climbed?

The 301 gives elevation info while tracking sats...it does not have the altimeter function like the 401 however the sat elevation is very accurate. Hope this helps.

Yes. It gives the time as default, you push a button to see steps, miles, and calories, and the time comes back after a little. There's also a button to light up the face momentarily.

Well.. you should first know what you are using here. This device (unless it has been changed) measures relative altitudes from a starting point, not above sea-level. This means you start at 0 and ascend. If you use the device in the primary mode to measure Peak altitude (as if a rocket) then Yes, it will display what the peak altitude was of your hike. But the other problem is duration. It will not log your rises and falls and I dont think the battery will hold for more than an hour or two of constant use.

No, it gives you the compass bearing and distance from your selected base and waypoints. It does that quite well.

It works with Air pressure to measure altitude gain. You set it at zero before launch and it reads the current pressure. Then it reads the pressure at maximum altitude and calculates feet. It is extremely accurate. I highly recommend this product. You may want to get a locator as well though. We did not and lost the rocket after about a dozen launches.

Yes it does display altitude. Also many other displays like speed, posted speed of road you are on, time, and much more. Great unit I love mine.

It should say on the box if you use it the slope edition will show under the yardage the degree of slope and an estimated yardage based on up or down slope

I don't know about the TomTom, but the Garmin 255W will give you altitude information if you touch the vehicle icon on the map screen. This is also how to bookmark your location and see your longitude/latitude coordinates.

Yes, it continuously records your time, distance, pace, calories burned and heart rate. It calculates elevation as distance above/below sea level (as per the User's Guide)

The Plus have built in Altimeter and thermometer capabilities. This way you can track climbing information ( degree of inclination, total elevation, etc). Also it can connect to ant devices on top of blutooth connection

Apparently very little or nothing. I don't use the elevation feature much except when we travel through the mountains, but I haen't noticed that it makes much difference in any other response or feature. Its a good feature whe n towing a camper or driving an RV through large elevation changes like the Smokies or Rockies. If you don't do this often, ;eave it off.

You can download GPX files of routes for hiking and biking. Also some maps that you can purchase have these routes printed on them. Yes the GPS does show your elevation very accurately. I have compared it to the elevation markers at the top of hikes and it is within a few feet.

Not to my knowledge. The app only allows for photo and video, however, there is a site that you plug the device into the computer while on, and can do readings and calibration. I haven't explored the altitude, but info my be on there.

Yes it does. Just checked it out. There is a window in the lower left corner of the screen which can display time of day, altitude, or direction of travel. Just touch that window and you can select the options.

I believe this model can show altitude but you will have to refer to the start up guide that comes with the unit to download the manual. The unit is very easy to operate. You should not have any problem learning the functions since you have owned a Garmin.

To see the elevation on a Garmin, touch the vehicle icon. It will display both the latitude/longitude and the current elevation. However, this is not a readout that changes continuously. One touch of the vehicle icon will freeze that moment's information on the screen. Then if you want an updated readout, you have to cancel that display and touch the icon again. It's simple to do.

We used the altimeter on a water rocket and it was very accurate for altitude but it landed on a level field so there wasn't data for if it had dropped lower than it's launch height.
