Geo Elevation vs Flight Ops
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Geo Elevation
Create detailed elevation profiles by drawing paths on a map. Visualize terrain changes, including mountains and coastlines, with interactive charts that sync to your map view. Ideal for planning outdoor activities or exploring topography.
- Draw paths on map for elevation profiles
- Interactive map and chart sync
- Multiple elevation data sources
- Comprehensive statistics (min/max elevation, gain)
- Flexible unit configuration
- Location search and current location support

Draw a path and see its elevation profile. Draw an area and see the ground itself: its highest and lowest points, its slopes and contours, in 3D. Anywhere on Earth, with the numbers a planner needs. Paths that follow the trail. Add a few points and choose Walking, Cycling or Driving: each leg follows the real path or road. A second later the profile is there, one sample every 30 metres, with distance, climb and descent, average grade and the steepest hundred metres. Move along the chart and a ring on the map shows where you are. Areas that answer for the ground. Draw an area, a circle or a rectangle and Geo Elevation reads the ground inside it every 30 metres: lowest, highest and mean height, relief, mean and steepest slope, with the highest and lowest points marked on the map. Every path that crosses the area gets its own small profile; scrub along it and the ring follows on the map. Slope and contours. Colour steep ground the way avalanche maps do, from the angle you choose, and draw contour lines at a spacing that suits the relief. On the map, and on the ground in 3D. The ground in 3D. Turn the area, raise the heights, scrub a path and watch the marker climb. Print it on paper as you turned it, or save it as an STL file for a 3D printer. Layers, as in a drawing app. Many shapes in one document, each in its own colour; show, hide and reorder them. Undo and redo every step. Spot heights. Pick any point for the height of the ground there. In and out. Import GPX, KML and GeoJSON, and older Geo Elevation files. Export GPX with elevations, CSV, GeoJSON, an image or a PDF report. Quick Look shows a document's map and profile in the Finder and in Files. Your units, your map. Kilometres or miles, metres or feet, hectares or acres; each document remembers its own. Standard, satellite, hybrid and 3D map styles. Documents are plain GeoJSON, in iCloud Drive if you want them on every device. One purchase for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. No account, no subscription. Elevation data comes from our own server, ASTER and Mapzen at 30 m, worldwide; the app needs an internet connection to fetch it. In English, German, French, Spanish and Japanese.

Main functions: • Distance, flight time and estimated fuel used computation It will be based on the following parameters: - Mach number or TAS - ISA deviation - Distance factor to compensate great circle distance - Manual Wind component (Flight Ops Standard) - Automatic Historical average wind component (Flight Ops Pro) • Aircraft Profiles You can easily create and manage your aircraft profiles, setting the following: - Fuel used depending on distance flown. It can be set for as many distance values as you wish. The more you indicate, the more accurate will be your result! Of course, it can be done for any Mach or TAS - Structural weight limitations - ACN/PCN values In a single tap, you can even share these profiles via Airdrop, email, WhatsApp, Wechat, Dropbox... An example of aircraft profile with full instructions is provided in the app • Alternate airports finder It’s based on the following parameters: - Distance from destination - Minimum runway length - Paved runways or not - Airports of entry or not - Including military airports or not They will be automatically sorted by ascending distance from destination airport • Plotting map On this map you can plot: - Great circle routes between airports - ETP circles based on a specific radius - By a long push on the map you can display all airports around, making easy and fast the selection of ETP airports. As for alternates search, this selection is based on same parameters (see above) • Airports database - You can search in the database and retrieve any airport(s) based on the following parameters: ICAO code, IATA code, airport name or city name - Database can be updated (Flight Ops Pro) • Fuel uplift module You can use your aircraft limitations or use the "Free mode". If you fly different birds, your aircrafts limitations can be stored in the database. Therefore, no need to remember the max fuel weight or volume nor your maximum ramp weight! Based on your aircraft limitations, you can easily compute the fuel quantity required. Just enter desired uplift fuel volume, fuel weight or your desired aircraft ramp weight and Flight Ops will compute other numbers at once! It considers all common units: - Weight: Lbs and Kg - Volume: Liters, US Gal, Imp Gal - Density: Kg/L, Kg/US Gal, Kg/Imp Gal, Lbs/L, Lbs/US Gal, Lbs/Imp Gal You cannot get the fuel density from the fueler? Now you can retrieve it from the fuel temperature and can even select the type of fuel (Jet or Gasoline). • ACN / PCN Based on a PCN number, Flight Ops will decode and display a full description. If you have at least 1 aircraft in your database, it will provide your limitation(s) if any: - Aircraft weight - Main Landing Gear tire pressure - Nose Landing gear tire pressure If you indicate your aircraft weight, Flight Ops will compute your ACN. Of course, all these ACN values can be set through your aircraft profiles. • SNOWTAM decoding (METAR format) Just make a copy paste of any SNOWTAM or simply use the wheel. You will then get: - Full decoding - Wind components based on the related runway • Weather and airports information - You can build your own favorite airports list to check weather status at a glance - For any airport, you can get the latest METAR and/or TAF (if available) - Based on current wind speed and direction, Flight Ops will display all runways with corresponding wind components • Distance calculator To calculate the distance and True bearing between 2 latitudes/longitudes waypoints. • Last Minute Change Based on the Weight & Balance Load Sheet computed for your flight, grab your iPhone/iPad and compute your Last Minute Change data if necessary. Indicate your new payload, adding or removing pax & cargo and update your fuel values if required. Flight Ops will then calculate revised weights and centers of gravity for ZFW, TOW and LDW.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Flight Ops at Free against Geo Elevation's $4.99. Flight Ops also leads on review sentiment (77% vs 57%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Geo Elevation's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (4 vs 1). On ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
