Perfect for My Needs!

I wanted to scroll across a map to find elevations. That’s exactly what this app lets you do. As you scroll, it shows elevations on top of the app. Perfect for me. I’ll be driving in the winter and wanted to know elevations — because that’s where it’s likely to freeze, etc. I tried dozens of apps and found only this one who lets me do that. Many thanks to the developer!!!

As good as it get

Simple, accurate, unobtrusive ads. Point to any map location, get altitude, address, coordinates. Thank you developers!

事前に知っていれば便利

地理院地図のように全体像で見えないため事前に下見をして低地と頂上部分を把握して表示する分には便利です。
高さが波打っていたり意図しない道には対応が難しいので下見が必須となります。

Accuracy ?

I find this app to be inaccurate as it only measuring +-30m

大変重宝しています!

住まい周辺の詳細な標高を知る事が出来て、浸水ハザードマップから正確な想定浸水深を確認する事ができました。いざという時の住まいの避難経路計画をより安全にたてる事ができ、感謝しています。ありがとうございます。
