Altimeter for the MH

I like to have some idea of elevation as I am driving and would like to get a dashboard mounted altimeter.

The Sun 205F seems to get good reviews, but it seems small?

A compass might also be nice that would be more visible than the one on my TomTom GPS.

Any suggestions?

    Most GPS units will give you altitude and be pretty darn accurate.
    I replaced my old Magellen some time back with a Garmin so I keep both of them mounted on the MH and use the Magellen just for altitude. A smartphone will also give you that same information.

    Your Tom Tom GPS should give you alt. and would probably be more accurate.
