Searching for a GPS app that also provides Altitude data

Apps
1

In Android, I use GPS Coordinates & Information: EXA Tools to capture data for a location I am at.

In f-droid I found many GPS tracker, logger and positional data apps, but none at a glance appears to have the additional altitude data.

For example, I found one, Here GPS Location, but the info doesn’t say anything about altitude.

I checked for screenshots from within the f-droid app installed on my smartphone too, but there wasn’t any. So, couldn’t find the requisite info.

Simply installing the app to check if it indeed does appears a bit irrational.

Could I be helped please in this regard?

@rajiban greetings,

I use 2 from Fdroid, Osmand~ (excellent but probably OTT if you just want altitude) and Organic Maps (a very close second and improving with every update).

Osmand~ can be rigged to show altitude constantly.

In Organic Maps, just press and hold the current location marker and the altitude will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

Thank you, Meorhim, for replying to my post. Much appreciated. I apologise that I couldn’t explain myself better.

What I require is just the data, (Lat,Long,Z). I could then use Google Maps on my laptop later to locate the place on the map, if needed.

OSMAnd can save GPX files for this, yes

Also, OpenStreetmaps can be used then, no need for Google

Thank you once again, Mr. Licaon_Kter, for your reply.

Osmand~ is a huge app. 133.3 MB! Simply huge just for 3 coordinates (lat, long, alt).

Open Street Map Mapviewer however is 13.3 MB, so reasonable.

But in my Linux system I don’t require to install Google maps. I use my web-browser to study the data in the map.

I still am tied more to my laptop. Smartphone I use seldom, that too, only when I require to address certain needs that my laptop can’t fulfill. Like BhimUPI, Rapido, Location, phone calls, clicking rudimentary pics, SMS and other messaging apps.
