line of sight mapping website

[speedway_navigator]

I just came across this site
HeyWhatsThat Path Profiler

while trying to figure out why this site which I've used before seems to be broken.
RF Line of Sight - SCADACore
I don't see the map, just a gray background and the lat/long boxes.

any others you guys use?
thanks

Google Earth. Draw a line between two points, save it, right-click on the path, select Show Elevation Profile.

Radio Mobile Online has a lot of fun stuff to play around with too. It seems very accurate once you get the hang of the proper settings.

HeyWhatsThat is a great tool. I've used it for several years.

FYI, I just checked and the SCADAcore map is working just fine for me on IE.

I was trying Pale moon and Firefox in an XP VM, now I got it working in FF on a win 7 PC.
It worked late last year, not sure what changed.

Is there a way to add tower height? This is great for ground level, thanks.

Unfortunately, not that I've found. Although you can specify the altitude above ground of placemarks, I've never found a way to have those apply to the elevation profile feature.

There is another way to get that elevation profile which I had forgotten about. Click on the Ruler, go to Path, then enable Show Elevation Profile. As you draw a path on the map, it'll automatically display the elevation profile. This can be used for multiple point to point paths, not just a single straight line.

Can you provide a screenshot of this? I can't find this (or your other example) anywhere on Google Maps. It sounds very neat.

Google Earth Pro, not Maps.

Well that was stupid. Misread your post and there I was using Google Maps. Thank you for the clarification!
