Seems to work fine on 12 September, 2023. Checked it's accuracy for locations I knew the elevation of and it is accurate. Tapped on locations slightly higher than those I knew and the results made sense. I appreciate having access to this tool.

Useful, it would be better if we can download the elevation to created the elevation graph from 1st to last point that we selected.

Good job. I understand that clicking over a sea shows the water depth. Useful tool for me. Cheers

Thanks for reporting Michi. We are implementing a fix now.

Everything south of the equator returns -999m. That's new, seems like whatever you changed in the past 3 months or so did that. Or something external changed within that time.

total overload with ads which makes it VERY ANNOYING and rather useless. Never found what I was looking for.

If you're using your cell phone, try double clicking. This worked on my Android.
