Use it for planning my UAV flights, so far my plane always came back with a 200ft elevation buffer... works great.

Elevation interval not working? Checked many points at 295ft, next interval was 395ft, doesn%u2019t,t seem to be any intermediate intervals between the two!

Terrible experience on mobile. Came back on my laptop. Works first try.

The map click does NOT put down a marker, as the instructions suggest. Nor does there seem to be any way for it to accept the Lat-Long I entered. I'm using Safari 12.0.2 (most current build as of this date).

This works great if you aren't a complete moron like the naysayers, keep up the great work!

Absolute waste of my time.

Excellent. Gives a good idea of elevation. Ignore the -ve comments.

We've just used your mapping for our site and where we look downhill, you've got it going higher. Hmmm...

This isn%u2019t as accurate as one would require if one needed to provide precise measurements. However, per at least two of the comments I read, I must add that this tool is to acquire the rough estimate of elevation, and is quite close to accuracy; closer than one would find via a majority of free tools out there. Also, one should not expect this tool to have the ability to provide us with precision when the target or control is that of a recent construction site and/or an area that which was graded to maintain a site, i.e. resivours, garbage dump, etc. and to expect this tool to do so is quite hilarious.

Shows the water reservoir up on the hill to be lower than my house. Incorrect figures do not trust

THIS IS VERY INACURATE ! DO NOT USE HOUSE APPEARS IN A VALLEY IS ACTUALLY HIGHER

Found it useful and saves a lot of time on site to calculate flow of water for storm water catchment areas.
