Look up ground elevation at up to 100 coordinates in one call, in meters and feet, with the dataset and resolution behind every point. Accepts up to 1,000 submitted positions; only the first 100 are v…
Sample terrain elevation at evenly spaced points along a route (a polyline of 2–1,000 vertices) and summarize it. Returns total distance, cumulative ascent and descent, start, end, minimum, and maximu…
Sample a regular grid of terrain elevations across a bounding box and report the highest and lowest sampled points, the mean elevation, and the relief, plus the full elevation matrix with each cell's …
Check whether terrain blocks the straight sightline between an observer and a target, each at a height above the ground, accounting for earth curvature and atmospheric refraction. Returns a verdict of…
