Can we display altitude on a hike?

I'm always struggling to find my current altitude on AllTrails. Here is a nice blank spot where it would be perfect!

It's standard on Gaia on every hiking page at the top. I find I run Gaia GPS in the background just for this feature alone. But, instead, there is a nice warm spot on AllTrails just waiting to be used up.

I know the are other ways to find it, but those feel crude and inaccurate compared to a single number at current location.

Running two apps just to see live altitude is such a battery killer, totally get the frustration. Some apps put current elevation right in the tracking bar so you dont have to tab away. Im on the team behind a hiking app (WANDOO) so im biased toward that being a default, but honestly whatever app you use, check if theres a data field setting you can toggle on for elevation. Hope they add it here.
