I was watching the trailer for Terraria, and I can see a height/depth indicator on some of the footage - how do you enable this?

This screenshot clearly shows a height meter

You can find (from killing Cave Bats, with 0.5% drop rate) or build (if you're playing on console) a Depth Meter that will add that value to your UI. (And also a Copper Silver or Gold watch if you want the time shown in that screen shot)

UPDATE: In 1.1 a new item called the GPS was added that combines the functionality of these two items plus a third that tells horizontal positioning.

    even better, with 1.1 you can get a compass from a mimic and combine the Depth Meter, Gold Watch and Compass at a Tinkering station to make a GPS, which does all of these things as one item

You can craft a Depth Meter with: 10 Copper Bars 8 Silver Bars 6 Gold bars

You need to craft it at a Table and Chair, which is just a chair facing a table.

    This only works on console or mobile/PC version pre-1.2, which is quite old by now.
