Find Elevation on Map

Description

Use a map to determining 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

1. Click on the map on a location where you wish to find the altitude
2. The altitude will be displayed in the message box below the map and when you hover over the marker
3. You can click to place more than one marker and return to hover over each in order to find out the altitude again
4. Click the [Clear Map] button in order to remove all markers and start again
5. Use the search option to find a place
6. 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.
