Program Geocontext-Profiler allows you to make topographic profiles anywhere on Earth in the seabed and ocean floor. Can be widely used: in the natural sciences (geomorphology, hydrography) for the education and tourism – hiking route planning, bicycle, car. To create such a profile, a few simple steps:

  1. Reset
  2. Find your area of interest on the map
  3. Select the cursor min. 2 points (max. 33).
  4. Ready – site profile will be generated in seconds
    1. Embed a chart on your site
    2. Copy and save a link to a chart created

Within the program, you can find some advanced options that allow you to create a profile along the road, bicycle and pedestrian paths. These options are under development and in certain areas may generate incorrect graphs.

For educational purposes several pre-programmed profiles of interesting geographical features, such as whether the highest peak in the Earth's largest ocean depth. Comments and suggestions to the program interesting topographical profiles, along with links to them, can be placed in the section comments.

Geocontext-Profiler program uses the Google Maps API script V3 – Elevation Profiles. The author of this configuration:

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

Krystian (author)

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

Adam

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

Carl

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

Nick

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!
