An integrated level ( 10 ) in a wireless device ( 11 ) can include a wireless transceiver within a housing ( 13 ), a processor ( 19 ) coupled to the wireless transceiver, a presentation device such as a display ( 12 ) or speaker ( 17 ) coupled to the processor, and an accelerometer ( 18 ) coupled to the processor where the display can serve to visually simulate the function of a level. The integrated level can further include a reference plane ( 15 ) added to the housing for proper level operation. By orienting the housing and the reference plane over a measurement plane ( 20 ), a determination of a deviation from a vertical plane or a horizontal plane can become apparent on the display. The display of the integrated level can provide a graphic user interface with a simulated level having a three segmented vertical bubble representation ( 16 ) and a three segmented horizontal bubble representation ( 14 ).
