Get the analog readout. Some altimeters feature a mechanical face, similar to that of a clock. In this case, a rotating needle will point to the current altitude. The lines between numbers will be drawn in specific increments to provide the most-detailed reading. For better accuracy, some analog altimeters have a lower upper elevation and lower, more precise increments. For these, the revolutions of the needle must be factored to get the total elevation. For instance, an analog altimeter that reads up to 3,000 feet but has three revolutions indicates an altitude of 9,000 feet plus any additional footage indicated by the needle itself.
Altimeters can be used to predict weather and storms. For instance, a rise in altitude relates to a drop in air pressure. If you're not actively gaining altitude when your altimeter displays a gain, that means that the air pressure where you are is dropping on its own, indicating a storm approaching.
GPS units may feature one or two types of altimeter. The first type uses satellite readings from at least four separate satellites to give you an elevation reading in addition to longitude and latitude. Some GPS units also contain a barometric altimeter, which is more accurate. When purchasing an altimeter, make sure that it will display elevations high enough to meet your needs. Some altimeters only go up to certain altitudes, which may be lower than what you might require.
