*** NOTE: Your device (handheld or wearable) must have a built-in pressure sensor (preferred) or GPS (solely as a fallback if barometer is missing). With this app, the wearable will *not* poll GPS data from the paired phone. Android Wear watches equipped with a pressure sensor include Nixon Mission (166Hz sample rate), LG G Watch R (90Hz), Moto 360 Sport (25Hz), LG Watch Sport (10Hz), LG Watch Urbane, Huawei Watch (20Hz), Casio Pro Trek Smart, Hugo Boss Touch, MontBlanc Summit, and ZTE Quartz. ***

Smart Altimeter uses pressure sensor on your device to measure your altitude above sea level or previously chosen reference altitude (if your device does not have a barometer, the app will fall back to GPS). Advanced multiple-layer algorithms are used to smooth noisy measurements and to calculate descent rate. The app can also speak your current altitude.

Use of devices with high-speed barometric sensors (60Hz or faster) is highly recommended for the feedback lag not to exceed 0.2s (the lag is 12 samples).
- fixed unintended 2s lag due to excessive smoothing; the lag on devices with fast barometers should not exceed 0.1s now or 12 samples, whichever is greater
- changed number formatting of altitude to resemble skydiving altimeters: altitude is rounded to 10 units if below 1000 units; displayed in thousands with 2 decimals if above 1000 units
- added raw altitude AMSL output, for observing sensor sensitivity and accuracy
