Search for a city, address, mountain or village, or click on the map. MapAltitude shows the elevation of that exact point in metres or feet, with its latitude and longitude. Click again to save more points and compare their height above sea level.
Press Draw route and click along your path: a hiking trail, a cycling climb, a road or a pipeline. The elevation profile shows the total distance, the lowest and highest altitude, and the total climb and descent of the route.
Elevation is the height of the ground above mean sea level. Altitude usually means the height of an object or aircraft above sea level, but in everyday use both words describe how high a place is. The values on this map are ground elevation.
Elevations come from the Copernicus DEM, a global digital elevation model built from satellite radar with a grid of about 90 m. On open, flat ground the value is usually within a few metres. On cliffs, steep valleys, dense forest or among tall buildings the error can be larger.
