[QUOTE="roddosnow, post: 391237, member: 2684"] [url]http://www.mapdevelopers.com/elevation_calculator.php[/url] I always found it difficult to visualise elevation from just looking at topo maps, I always seemed to underestimate how steep the terrain was, I use this tool to let me visualize the terrain is for areas that i am planning to visit, it is also good for highlighting large benches/depressions/workings. Also good to check before going to a new area so you know roughly how steep the terrain is. you just search for the area you are interested in then click your route on the map and it will give you a terrain graph at the bottom of the page. example below - Bulls Gully Sunny Corner - cross section of the gully [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2684/1519271368_example.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
