But coming from someone who has an altimeter on the dashboard of his truck, I'd have to say it is mildly important to some of us. If you don't know your altitude/elevation, call the nearest airport, or get a topographical map of your area.

That's a very handy site. Did you know that there are some places in the middle of North America that are less than 300 feet above sea level? Memphis, for example is 254 feet.
