I'm a developer and live in Colorado. I couldn't believe how often I was out and about and just wanted to know my elevation or GPS coordinates, but had to go through some complicated flow in order to get them. So I wrote a quick little Android app one night and tossed it on Google Play (for free): Positional. I just thought I'd share in case anyone else found it useful!
There are other apps and software out there that are full fledged nav apps for off road use. This is NOT a replacement for them... it's just a quick, handy way of getting an idea of your elevation and GPS coordinates, no matter where you are, as long as you have your Android device handy. That's it.
Check it out!

- Get your elevation/altitude and GPS coordinates as quickly as possible
- Switch between meters and feet by tapping the unit on screen
- Day/night auto-dimming that adjusts to the time of day and sunrise/sunset times
- Screen can be locked on (only applies while you're in the app... when you leave it, the lock disables itself) for longer trail rides/drives
- Completely free and no ads (never going to change)
- No account necessary
