Find Elevation on Map
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

Hello
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.
By Ghem on 27th August 2024Please add number to each marker spot (or checkbox to toggle on/off) so we can correlate with the height data list
By Gerald Lock on 18th June 2024Any update on the fix? Defaults to value of 999m for any location entered.
On 27th April 2024Hi, elevation does not work anymore.
By Bill on 27th February 2024Any chance of adding nautical miles (nm) as an option for distance output please?
By cs0rfe on 23rd October 2023Gerald, the interface is currently providing the best resolution for each particular area.
By Daft Logic on 12th May 2023Is it possible to allow a closer zoom factor/resolution? The current zoom factor/resolution is a bit too vague, given the height accuracy is to 0.01m
By Gerald Lock on 11th May 2023I dont think this is very accurate, being playing around in my local area in North Wales and have found multiple errors on the supposed "heights"
By Steve Hancock on 12th April 2023Bonjour, altitudes en NN ou en NGF ?
