GPS, even a $100 hikers model will solve the problem. But I
just say, look at the ground, you can judge 1,000 feet
pretty well and you only need to apply the hemisphere rule
above 3,000 AGL.

GPS is far less accurate than an altimeter, and I don't think the
regulations say "if you have no radio, use GPS."
