When an altimeter fails, pilots may experience difficulties in maintaining safe altitude, leading to potential collisions with terrain or other aircraft. This failure can disrupt flight navigation and adherence to air traffic control instructions, resulting in dangerous situations, especially during takeoff and landing. Additionally, pilots may rely on other instruments, which can introduce errors if they are not properly calibrated or functioning. Ultimately, a malfunctioning altimeter compromises overall flight safety.
The main difference between altimeter and cabin altimeter is the place where they take their pressure: Altimeter takes the pressure from static ports, while cabin altimeter takes it's pressure from the cabin.

My handheld GPS instrument has a barometric altimeter in it also.
My GPS instrument contains a barometric altimeter.
My wristwatch has an altimeter, which as a backpacker, I find very useful.
An altimeter is an altitude measuring device (alti + meter).
Altimeter 2992 means that the air pressure is 29.92 in. HG. 29.92 in. HG. With this information, you would calibrate your altimeter to 29.92.
I want to see your 4runner if it has an altimeter in it! If so, what is the max altitude you can fly to? Did they really put an altimeter in 4 runners??
my American friend Keith Giles has one which includes an altimeter
Altimeter indicates altitude of air craft from ground. they are known as radio altimeters.
