Nice program! Is there a way to show elevation in feet instead of metres?

@Carl: Today I added a new option. First refresch page in your browser – then click [km] at the bottom of the chart.

Any chance we will be able to save the graph as an image?

@Adam: Only screen shot.

I see the switch for changing distance to imperial units. I don't see one for changing the elevation on the y-axis.

@Carl: Y-axis must be in meters :-( Now the Y-axis is in feet :-)

This is great thank you. It might also be helpful to have the ability to control the distance precisely, and simply move the section at a set length, taking new sections that are scaled the same way. Also, in terms of re=mapping the graphs, it might be useful to see the location of every point in the graph, so as to correspond the elevation change between points easier. A measured grid along the bottom of the chart would also help when scaling the topography to be accurate when combining sections of different distances.

excellent app!! This is exactly what I was looking for. This will be very helpful when I go out biking. It's a shame that you can't convert the elevation into feet... maybe you can add a conversion application on the side that people can use? Either way, thanks a lot for this.

Just wanted to thank you for this app. I find it useful while planning bicycling routes.

Needs an "undo" to remove the last point added: too easy to click on the map by mistake and unintentionally add an unwanted point. Any way to make the GMap taller? In Safari on OS X, the magnification slider is cut off at the bottom. For bicyclists, would be nice to add a "cumulative climb" calculator, with option to exclude changes less than a certain threshold from the tally.

In a few days Geocontext will be updated with new features asked for by users.

The work is delayed.

This program is GREAT! I have used it to get route elevations for a bike trip down Hwy101 on the Oregon coast. Very useful!

hello. you can view the elevation profile of a kml? for example in the gallery google earth in the oceans, there is an option called animal tracking in which description and shows the routes taken by some marine animals gps in google earth the profile of elevations works very well when land routes, sea routes no .. I thought it was interesting to test a kml file on the web .. but I only see the option to manually enter the measurement points .. have the option to read the kml profiles that are uploaded to it ..? regards

How do you print these pages? I cannot get them to come out, without capturing to a jpg or the like and then printing that.

Great Application. I will be using this in my geology and physical geography classes. It would be helpful if the vertical exaggeration of the profile was displayed with the profile. Does it change as one zooms in and out? Also, I was not able to get units (km/mi) to change once I embedded it in a web page. In general, this is what I was looking for and it is very instructive on both large and small scale. Thanks

Great, A few website provide this info but your more Convenient Thanks

Hello Krystian, Ever thought of implementing other maps backgrounds such as those here? [link] Eric

Yes, I was thinking, but there is one problem – Google Maps licensing restrictions [link] On my computer I have several other layers but I can not share them online.

Awesome tool! Thanks for making this!

Dear Krystian, We are writing you from Bulgaria. Allow me to express our gratitude for this fascinating feature for Google maps. We were looking for this extra since longtime, and thanks to you and the wonderful add you made now it's reality. Now the content of our page became even more interactive and the people visiting the mountains can do it without a fear of getting lost. Thanks again.

Awesome website! It's the best elevation tool I've been able to find. Here's an idea for another feature. It would be cool if you could see the gradient at the pointer location. Perhaps you could also have an option to find the maximum gradient on the profile.

Excellent! Thx to you, Krystian!

it is good and simple, in vegetation it is not work but it give a good idea about profile of land thank you h biswal

Hi there, Is it possible to modify an existing profile by adding points to the START of a track? Or maybe even add points in between? That would further enlarge the utility of the tool (which is great, btw). Thanks in advance, m@

@m@ GEOCONTEXT-Profiler does not require registration – modify profile without registering is a big complication. I suggest to create a new elevation profile and send the information to delete a profile – info@geocontext.org

simply amazing! however, could you add to your upcoming developments list, the ability to activate "terrain" layer, a feature already present on google maps? [link] keep up your stuff! julo

Is possible Profile draw and earth curve?

Congratulations !! It is a very useful tool, indeed. I will use it with my students. Thanks a lot for all your effort.

Awesome program!!!!

I have been looking for something like this for over a year now! Excellent! This is perfect for planning the best routes for hypermiling in the hybrid automobile that I drive. Could you add a Total Elevation Gain figure? That would be perfect. Thanks for this awesome tool.

Simply excellent, just what I was looking for. I would second a previous comment though in that the only thing missing for me is a cumulative climbing tally for those cyclists amongst us. Keep up the good work though!

This is a great tool. Thanks so much.

Hello Krystian, Wonderful application! But is it possible to include contour lines with less than 20m interval each (for instance 5m interval)in this tool?

Is there a way to upload a GPX file into the profiler?

I'm so dumb – just seen the link on the map! :)

Very nice, i find for this a long time.

Is there a way to use this tool for a text printout of multiple elevations? I have a large spreadsheet of addresses, for which I'd like to compare elevations (preferably by copying and pasting them). The graphical output is great, but if I could get at the numbers themselves, that would help me out a lot. Thanks very much!

@DK Hi See CSV button at the bottom of the chart. But remember – terms of use of data [link]
