Geo Elevation is a powerful tool to build a cross-sectional elevation chart from any paths/points on the map with a few clicks. Simply create a path and click on "Get Elevation" you will see a nice chart.
How does Mt. Everest look like if you cut through the peak, and view it from the side? Try to draw a path from your place to the nearest shoreline. See how slope decline as it approach the ocean? How about investingating the Mariana Trenchs steep slope, which goes down to the deepest place on the Earth?
In addition, the line of the elevation profile is clickable to indicate corresponding location on the path that you draw.
(Update)
Now, this app works on both iPhone and iPad! Buy only once, and enjoy in both platform. We definitely recommend you to try it on iPad.

[Usage]
- As a bike / running route builder: Its convenient to research your bike road profile in order to figure out the schematics of hills.
- Mobile Learning Experience in the Classroom. If you are teaching Geology or Earth Science, you might have a handout to build a cross-sectional elevation chart from a contour map, and you can let students to verify their answer by themselves. Dont forget, Geo Elevation will provide infinite locations to investigate! The usage is unlimited.
- Possible flood area investigation: Before storm surge or high tide hit your town, verify locations or road that could be flooded. Draw the path from your house to the nearest shoreline to see the vertical profile.
- Plan your Walk or Run: If you host a walk or run event, Geo Elevation will help you to find out the slope so that you can map challenging hill in your event. Additionally, it might help you to setup multiple routs depend of the slope.
- For hiker and mountaineers (send us your review if you used for your activities!)

Latest reviews of Geo Elevation: Map Elevation Chart Creator app for iPhone and iPad
Works great but how about a 1:1 ratio on the x, y axis. The scales do not match and it makes it difficult to conceptualize the actual shape of the ground.
This app blows up my mind because in a few clicks, it allows me to explore the elevation of various area. The 2-D cross-sectional chart from the map is not only to make me revisit what Ive learned from the college courses but I also recognized accurate schematics of the real topography beyond my textbook. The best part of this app is that the chart also works in the ocean basin. I could visualize the bathymetric cross-sectional chart to from the continental shelf to the trench! Im exploring the shape of ocean ridges, fjord(thats solid U-shape) and more. This could be useful when storm surge / high tide comes to my town since i can visualize the slope and elevation from shorelines.
If you are a Geo Hobbyist, this tool is a must have. You can measure elevation in an instant, and the usage is easy enough for every one.
This was a simple easy to use app that gets you results. I was biking this weekend with a group of 12 and my friend proposed two different routes. There was route A that was shorter and route B that was longer. Everyone decided to go with route A, the shorter route because it was the beginning of the season and we all just wanted to warm up. Everyone chose the shorter route because of the distance and no one really thought about the elevation. Thats when I found Neo Elevation that allowed me to draw out the route and calculated the elevation within 2 minutes. Although route A was shorter, the elevation was 1,028 meters compared to route B, 688 meters. Everyone immediately decided on route B with the lower elevation. No one would of made made it to route A without burning out their legs. Neo Elevation, you have saved us all!
Simple and effective. The support team is very responsive. Highly recommended!
