Altimeter fuses your phone's GPS and barometric pressure sensor together for the most accurate altitude reading possible, then surrounds it with a full suite of professional-grade outdoor tools.

─────────────────────────────────────────
CORE ALTITUDE FEATURES
─────────────────────────────────────────
▸ Dual-sensor fusion — GPS + barometer combined (70 % baro / 30 % GPS) for maximum accuracy
▸ Large, easy-to-read digital altitude display with animated gauge
▸ Real-time vertical speed with automatic activity detection (Hiking, Descending, Flying…)
▸ Min / Max altitude tracking per trip
▸ Total ascent and descent accumulation
▸ One-tap calibration against a known altitude or sea-level pressure
▸ Unit toggle: metres / feet, hPa / inHg, m/s / fpm — saved across sessions

─────────────────────────────────────────
PRESSURE & WEATHER FORECASTING
─────────────────────────────────────────
▸ Station pressure and QNH (sea-level corrected)
▸ Live pressure trend indicator: Rising / Falling / Steady / Rapid change
▸ Smart 3-hour weather forecast based on pressure patterns (Fair / Cloudy / Rain / Storm)
▸ Barometric altitude and density altitude
▸ Oxygen availability reference (useful for high-altitude trekking and aviation)
▸ AMS (Altitude Mountain Sickness) risk level based on current altitude

─────────────────────────────────────────
STORM ALERT SYSTEM ⚠
─────────────────────────────────────────
When atmospheric pressure drops 3 hPa or more within an hour, Altimeter fires an immediate high-priority notification — a classic indicator of an approaching storm. On-screen warning banner also appears in the Pressure tab. A 30-minute cool-down prevents alert fatigue while keeping you safe.

─────────────────────────────────────────
SESSION RECORDING & HISTORY
─────────────────────────────────────────
▸ Background recording — keeps tracking altitude even when the screen is off or you switch apps
▸ Persistent foreground notification shows live altitude during recording
▸ Full session history with name, date, duration, min/max, ascent, descent
▸ Swipe or long-press to delete sessions
▸ Detailed session statistics screen

─────────────────────────────────────────
ELEVATION PROFILE CHART 📈
─────────────────────────────────────────
▸ Interactive line chart of your altitude over time for every recorded session
▸ Smooth cubic-bezier curve with filled area
▸ Pinch to zoom, drag to pan
▸ Min / Max / Ascent / Descent summary overlaid on the chart

─────────────────────────────────────────
OFFLINE TOPOGRAPHIC MAP 🗺
