Amazing Tool - thanks for sharing!

Sebastian, it is possible but not likely to be implemented soon. Reason being the costs to do this (for us) would be too high for this free service.

Great tool! It would be nice in the future to see how the elevation changes along a line between two given points. Would that be possible?

What is the error margin?

Glad to find this site. I have been wanting to find the difference in elevation between our cottage and a nearby street for ham radio purposes. Thank you so much for a fine tool.

What coordinates do you type in?
By Free Map Tools on 9th May 2019
I typed in the coordinates and nothing is happening. I clicked enter and the map is still zoomed out with no point.

Am trying to get an elevation on a road and noticed that on a relative flat road moving from one point to another (about 100 feet or less), the elevation changes 3.1\'. Is there a way to get a more accurate elevation reading? We use this to determine and what river level water covers the road.

Bill, it should be working again as normal.

Elevation is stuck at 8m. Tried reloading but still stuck.

Brett, this normally means the area is not covered. -9999 is a value that means \"No Data for this area\"
By Free Map Tools on 15th April 2019
Why do I get a elevation reading of Negative 9999m how do I calibrate?
when working is a brillant tool.
