+1 is there somewhere you can access it or is it built in for an application?

Is that your height above sea levwel or your pressure heigh? hey are different, depending on the temperature and the actual barometric pressure at your location.

I would second this. You can get hold of Samsung's own S Baro app through More Services in the app drawer, but while this app looks nice, it shows an incorrect reading and cannot be calibrated. I live very close to an airport and the airport's weather report was giving a pressure around 10 mb higher than S Baro was showing. This in turn means that the altitude reading in the app will be skewed (it suggested that I live some 300 ft higher than I actually do). With Barometer HD however you can calibrate the barometer so that it gives you a correct pressure reading and altitude.

It shows your altitude above sea level. But the app needs to be calibrated to correct for any errors. See my previous post.
