About MapAltitude

We make altitude maps that anyone can use in a few seconds, for free.

MapAltitude started with a simple question: how high is this place? Hikers, cyclists, builders, farmers and travellers ask it every day, and the answer is usually buried in heavy GIS software or apps full of ads. We wanted a clean tool that answers it straight away.

What we do

Our Altitude Map gives the elevation of any point you click, lets you save several points, and draws a full elevation profile for a route with total distance, climb and descent. You can switch between street, topographic and satellite views, and between metres and feet.

Where the data comes from

Base maps come from OpenStreetMap contributors and Esri. Altitudes come from the Copernicus Digital Elevation Model, produced from satellite radar by the European Space Agency, served through the Open-Meteo API. Expect a few metres of error on flat ground and more on steep slopes or cliffs.

What is next

We are adding more tools: elevation at your live GPS position, area altitude ranges and exports to CSV and GPX, built the same way and based on open data.
