Geo Elevation: Contour & Slope

Draw paths/areas to inspect sampled terrain profiles, slopes, contours and estimated visibility.

Our take

Useful for preliminary terrain exploration with known data limits

Linked maps/charts and report exports make selected geometry inspectable.

Keep in mind: 30m ASTER/Mapzen sampling is not a land survey, obstacle model or avalanche forecast; line-of-sight ignores unmodeled objects and routing/data can be wrong.

What you can do

  • Path/area elevation and slope statistics
  • Terrain/contour/visibility visualization in map/3D
  • GPX/KML/GeoJSON intake and CSV/PDF/STL exports

Good for

  • Users validating exploratory terrain estimates against primary sources

Consider alternatives for

  • Safety-critical route clearance or legal boundary/engineering survey

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.6.
  • 30m ASTER/Mapzen sampling is not a land survey, obstacle model or avalanche forecast; line-of-sight ignores unmodeled objects and routing/data can be wrong.

Privacy & permissions

Elevation is fetched from developer servers and maps need internet; optional iCloud documents reveal routes/areas. Protect shared exports.
