Determine the elevation at any point on the world map.
...Loading...
Description
Use a map to determine the elevation when a point is located on a map. You can click/tap as many times as required to find the elevation of multiple points.
Example: Elevation of the Statue of Liberty, New York City
How To Use
- Click on the map on a location where you wish to find the altitude
- The altitude will be displayed in the message box below the map and when you hover over the marker
- You can click to place more than one marker and return to hover over each in order to find out the altitude again
- Click the [Clear Map] button in order to remove all markers and start again
- Use the search option to find a place
- Click on a marker to remove it
You can also access a CSV list of latitude, longitude, altitude in meters and altitude in feet for every marker you place on the map.
Future Updates and Ideas
- Allow input of location by latitude, longitude coordinates

More than 10 points are not marked on the map. Why don't you fix this error?
On 7th January 2026It's been so long. Why are you correcting this map? More than 10 data points cannot be retrieved.
On 28th November 2025Please fix this map. We haven't been able to get data from it for a long time.
On 19th November 2025Please explain now. When will the map work?
On 10th November 2025Not working the elevation map, please fix it
On 6th November 2025We can’t get any data from the maps — everything has been messed up since the update. When are you going to fix it?
By sah on 2nd November 2025Great — another useless site that doesn't work, at least not on a phone. Why do these pointless sites exist? What do you gain from wasting our time, when all we want to know is the elevation of some place that we are? It's not as if it did any harm to actually tell us instead of teasing us like jerks...
By Irritated would-be user on 1st November 2025Hello. I think the map is being updated. I wonder when the update will be completed.
On 23rd October 2025Hello, a few places can be marked on the map. Is it possible to add more marks?
By BayAtlı on 22nd October 2025Hello, I can only make three consecutive points on the map. Afterwards, it gives the message "Elevation request failed. Please try again." This problem did not occur before. Could you please fix this update?

By Mahmut Akın on 20th October 2025Wrong altitude data. In some cases gives negative data. At a distance of just a few meters gives a 1000 meter difference in altitude and so on
On 17th October 2025Hello
By Peter on 30th May 2025The cumulative distance calculation is not accurate.
On 29th April 2025The message box is not appearing anymore
On 29th March 2025Why is the box for choosing multiple coordinates not appearing anymore?
On 29th March 2025What is the vertical coordinate system for the elevation value?
On 29th March 2025where can I find the age of the imagery?
On 23rd January 2025Ghem, we have added a new option "Show latitude,longitude beside mouse pointer"
By Daft Logic on 1st September 2024A box with the latitude and longitude to find the elevation would be very useful.
