Create an Elevation Profile

Google has a great tool for creating elevation maps that you can use for school projects or help plan running or bike races. See the example to the right, then click "Clear Points". Enter an address where you want to build the route and elevation profile. Hit the RETURN key. You can also select if you want the map to show the route if you are travelling by car, bicycle or walking. Your elevation profile will be built on the fly in the window below. Then use your favorite screen capture tool to cut and paste the results into your report. I have limited this to 10 waypoints. Have fun !/p>
