@nyant1807, the Fitbit is not capable of telling you elevation, per se. It has an altimeter, which can sense pressure changes and tell you've changed elevation (stair tracker), but it doesn't tell you actual elevation.

It's nice to see you around the Community @nyant1807 Woman Very Happy! As my friend @MakMak just said, Fitbit trackers are not capable of telling the elevation since they have altimeter which is based in pressure changes. 

 

But great idea let me say! We're constantly striving to improve Fitbit products and services, and we very much appreciate all of the input we receive from our customers. The best place to make your voice heard is the Ideas board on our community, which our product development teams consult regularly to ensure we're delivering on what our customers need and want. Take a moment to visit and give us your feedback. 

I've found a suggestions already made by another user under the title "Live elevation data display" where you can vote for the idea and add your comments. Our product team looks forward to reading and incorporating your suggestions into future versions of Fitbit trackers and apps. 

 

Happy stepping!
