Does this model give you altitude on its own?

The base model does not. However, the model that comes with the performance bundle (heart rate sensor, bike cadence & speed sensor) includes a built in altimeter.
1975414
No. Only when you download your workout can you see the altitude along your treaded /biked path but not on its own as a separate reading.

Dear Donald K.: After your run/cycle/swimm or treadmill exercise and after you connect the watch to your computer, the MySports Program will load the information about the altitude.
1975416
no, you will see it on the website after you upload your data from the watch
1975417
Altitude or more specifically elevation is recorded and reviewable once uploaded to your computer via MySports but you cannot see this measurement on the watch's screen. I am sure if there was enough demand, the engineers at TomTom could program the watch to display it.

I actually don't know. I had to get rid of mine because it broke when I was in Bolivia. I was on an airplane at the highest altitude in Bolivia and it stopped working after that. I used it for it's purpose but I was disappointed and so I threw it away. I'm sorry I can't help you.

It measures ground level zero wherever you press the lauch button, example,if you press the launch button on the ground it will calculate that as zero, if you press the launch button 3 feet off the ground it will calculate that as zero,i tried this, with a confirmed hight of 125 feet it was accurate at ground level and off 3 feet when launched at waist level,so I would say yes it should work fine

I installed this unit about 6 months ago. We live at an altitude of 7500 ft. I have not had any problems with this unit. It is performing better than the Noritz unit we had previously.

I flew it successfully in Longmont, but did not try to go too high. It has a short battery life, which would limit how high it would go.

Yes. Just charge it up and it's ready to fly. (Flies really well, too.) If it seems to lose the signal when it's high or pointed a certain direction, the receiver on the helicopter is a little black box thing connected by wires that can be bent down for a better angle to receive signals from 360 degrees.

I don't think so. When I use it to see how high my drone flys the display reads the peak elevation achieved and not zero when it returns to its starting point. Hope this helps.

I think it does. If not, then at the very least it tracks your longitude and latitude, and then any website you upload the data to should be able to to figure out your elevation based on those.

I haven't flown with it personally... But we live at high altitudes and during the Pikes Peak Marathon, I have it at start at just over 6,000 feet and go up beyond 14,000 feet without problems and difficulty of the product being used. Really does work, BTW.

No it does not display altitude. This device measures your speed, heartrate, and cadence (rate at which you are spinning the pedals). That's all. It does not have any GPS or the like.

You will need to check the guide and adjust pressure for your altitude. No, you do not need this. It is for a different method of pressure canning

Hi Ghalib, this GPS device by itself can report your speed, the direction you're going and your height above sea level, but the real genius of this device becomes apparent when you pair it with an iPad or iPhone for navigation. When there is no cellular network to tell your phone/tablet where you are, like when you are in a remote location or at high altitudes like flying in a plane, this device tells your mobile devices where you are. The other time you might not have a cellular network is if you are traveling abroad and you turn roaming off to avoid data charges on your plan that can amount to hundreds or thousands of dollars in roaming charges.

It doesn't have a data screen like the earlier models---the "where am I" screen which gave all sorts of information about altitude and even latitude & longitude. This model has none of that, however when you program in the address of your destination, it does show the distance and time of arrival. If it's a long trip and stops are made for lunch, gas, etc. it will recalculate the time of arrival. The one nice feature of this model is that it no longer says the irritating "recalculating," instead it merely tells you what you need to do to correct a wrong tunn and then when you're back on track, it tells you to "continue on route."

there are several different models. the premium model has everything including an altimeter. I think mine has a compass that shows a heading to a waypoint, but we are in Mexico right now and I don't have it with me.

This altimeter is really not designed for hiking, so I would not advise that you buy it for that (it's a flying altimeter). By the way, I'm the designer.Other answers are correct: it will show altitude change (when in Realtime mode) since it was started. But on a hike of any decent duration, the weather may change, perhaps as much as 20-50 feet as a high or low pressure front moves in. So over the course of hours, you would have to factor that in. It's really designed for short (<2 hour) flights. Not hikes.

No...but you can hook up a simple device to give you speed and distance. It isn't exactly easy, but I got it set up and it was accurate.

Not on the watch, but in the Run Details it shows the altitude, i guess from the GPS
