Show Altitude on Gmaps

Hey Team,

Am an avid traveler and huge fan of Gmaps which, to me, probably is most complex in itself, easy to use and informative App in the world.

Suggest, to make it more helpful, may pls add altitude of the searched/visited places.

Am in a habit of noting Lat-Long of the places I motor on which can fetch even in off-line mode thru Gmaps & yes dig out altitude as well using some other off-line Apps but it’s figures from you would be more authentic and reliable to us.

As worded above, would surely help the community in planning so many things, viz plan his/her travel and duration of stay at high altitudes, if to carry medicine, if aged ones can go or not, what could be the weather there…to name a few.

Hope, you would consider it, thanks in anticipation.

Hi @TheRoadographer ,

Thank you for the suggestion.

The idea you have provided, would be the Terrain mode in the Google Maps application, as you may follow the steps on viewing terrain instruction, either on mobile application or on computer.

I am moving your post to How-tos, as it may find a better exposire of audience.
