Taranis can do it quite easily:
- x9D+ radio telemetry ($244 at Amazon)
- X8R Receiver, 16.6 grams weight ($35 at Amazon)
- FrSky GPS unit, 11.3 grams weight ($42 at Amazon)

GPS altitude part of telemetry feed to radio. Easy to program Taranis to provide audio (beeps or *.wav files) as well as vibration
