You may have heard about the upcoming change requiring any apps connecting to Twitter implement OAuth to verify credentials. We were using MGTwitterEngine by Matt Gemmell but it won’t work after June 24th.

In light of this, we’ve made some small fixes to now authorize your Elevation tweets from Elevation Pro using OAuth. This new feature will prompt the user by opening a Twitter authorization page and will require the Twitter username and password. It’ll then ask the user to “allow” Elevation Pro to post tweets.

Please note that in order to set this up, you’ll need to touch the Elevation Tab, touch the arrow button to “Get elevation” and then touch the “Share.” This sequence of steps will open up the OAuth page as described above.

As soon as Apple approves the update we’ll post it here and field any questions you might have.

We’re pleased to announce Elevation Pro v2.1 has been released for iPhone and iPad!

For iphone, we fixed the USGS data feed issues. You can now use Elevation Pro worldwide again, except for Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Greenland. We are looking into additional data sources to cover these missing locations.

We also released a version of EP especially for iPad. The UI is all new. Existing customers will automatically get the iPad version for free, since it is a “universal” app. The elevation maps look brilliant!

You can get your upgrade or copy of Elevation Pro here:

Special thanks to all our customers who waited while we resolved the data feed issue and upgraded it to work on the iPad.

We have successfully released Elevation Pro to the Apple App Store.

“Elevation Pro is an altitude tool built specifically for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Unlike any other application, it is able to provide altitude data on all iPhone and iPod Touch devices — not just the iPhone 3G — because it provides two ways to get your current elevation.”
