Why not switch from miles to feet once you are under 1/10th of a mile? That's what my Garmin does.
BTW: I used the AltosDroid software for the first time last week. The software itself met my expectations. I was a little surprised that it didn't scan for active units and that I had to pick a channel and know the call sign of the unit I wanted to monitor(maybe I just didn't see the right option though). I was disappointed that my tablet couldn't seem to get a GPS lock(not AltosDroid's fault) so I had to transfer the coordinates to my Garmin. I never saw the rocket after apogee. It landed about 1/2 mile away, but without the TM I wouldn't have had a clue where to start looking. With the GPS coordinates we drove right to it a couple minutes after it landed.
