public void onGpsStatusChanged(int event)
{
  double altitude = 0.0;

  switch (event)
  {
    case GpsStatus.GPS_EVENT_FIRST_FIX:
    {
      Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation
(locationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
      altitude = location.getAltitude();
    }
    break;
    .
    .
    .

Just dropped the above code in my Gps test program and I am 228.0
meters above sea level.
