show altitude with coordinate

[xxc]

Hi,
Would be really cool to see altitude next to the coordinate in the topbar, using for example google elevation api (http://code.google.com/intl/fr-FR/apis/ ... elevation/).
Thanks !

edit: I just made a mockup, look at the picture

Great idea for other outdoormaps too, if you want to quickcheck the altitude of a position via moving the cursor to it.

-> Or just show the altitude or speed of a track (selectable), while guiding or recording :-)

Thanks Matthias

Until Menion add this feature, use "get altitude" http://j.mp/l88cvg

I'm working on it ... but how to simply use it? it's nonsence to permanently check altitude on internet. it top bar you can see altitude when you have GPS ON. I'll add altitude (from Google API) to edit point screen ... enough?

EDIT: hmm maybe also on map long click should be nice?

[Matthy_47]

..... yes long click is a good idea and in addition while guiding or recording on top, if coordinates are selected (third row). Thanks! Matthias

yes! long click in address popup would be cool, but more easy, a single tap (click?) on the red cross could update the third row in coordinates. I really offen need this feathure and i think long click would be "boring"
What i did implement in a web map was to wait for idle (~0.5s after the map center change) before updating the altitude, to minimize the internet flow.
Thanks a lot! Vince

new "Dynamic Altitude mode" in 1.7.1 market version ... enough? (delay to show data is 2 sec)

[Matthy_47]

Thanks a lot!! :-) That solution is working great!
