How to view Altitude / Elevation in Streets & Trips 2009?
I just bought S&T 2009 with the GPS Receiver, and everything works fine. There's only one thing: I thought the GPS pane displayed current altitude, ie, elevation of your location above sea level. I looked around all the settings and options, and haven't found how to view elevation. Any ideas?
PS: I'm new to GPS stuff; sorry if I'm missing the obvious. Marvin- this site is a great service to people, especially newbies like me!

Elevation/Altitude information is shown is in the 'GPS Sensor' dialog. To view the GPS Sensor dialog you need to close the GPS Pane, when GPS tracking is ON.

Re: How to view Altitude / Elevation in Streets & Trips 2009?
Interestingly, it is possible to view altitude also in GPS task pane, but you will most likely not see it there when you first start Streets & Trips. In my experience the altitude and time will appear in GPS task pane a second or two after I start driving.
The the 'GPS Sensor' dialog has the altitude (and other) information available as soon as Streets & Trips (and GPS) starts.

Thanks, all.
I obviously haven't gone on an actual 'run' yet; I set up in my backyard. BTW: The Pharos unit came with the box I bought at Best Buy in Texas.
