My Elevation

Elevation for a place on the map

My Elevation shows the ground’s elevation above sea level for a location, using its latitude and longitude. It suits hikers, travellers and map-minded people who want to check the height of a place or explore locations before a trip. The app is not a general-purpose altimeter: it does not report how high you are inside a building or aboard an aircraft.

Check where you are, or look elsewhere

With Follow Me mode, the map tracks your current position and updates its elevation and coordinates as you move. You can also search for a location or press and hold a spot on the map. For places you look up, the app can show weather and nearby Wikipedia articles, which gives a quick way to learn more about an area without treating the map as just a set of numbers.

Keep useful places close

Bookmarks let you save locations for another look, and you can share a location or search result by text or email. Map options include normal, satellite, topographic and hybrid views, along with heading-up orientation, tilt and night mode. These features make the app useful for occasional trip planning as well as checking elevation while out and about.

A practical tool with a connection requirement

My Elevation needs a working data connection to place you on the map and retrieve elevation and related information; it has no offline mode. That matters if you expect to use it somewhere without service. RDH Software’s app has a 4.76-star rating from about 25,900 reviews and more than 1 million installs. For people who regularly check terrain or save places to explore, that’s a focused set of functions with reasons to come back to it.
