About CoordMap Elevation Finder
CoordMap Elevation Finder is a web-based utility for querying estimated ground elevation above sea level anywhere in the world. Users can locate a site by typing a street address or place name, submitting decimal WGS84 coordinates, using their current browser geolocation, or clicking anywhere on the interactive map interface. The tool evaluates the position against a server-hosted global digital elevation model and presents the estimated height in both metres and feet alongside location details.

Alternatives to CoordMap Elevation Finder
Ranked by the topics, categories and workflow stages they share with CoordMap Elevation Finder.
SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission)
Gov-Public
The original free global DEM — 30m/90m elevation from an 11-day shuttle radar mission, still a baseline today.
JAXA's 30m global DSM from PRISM stereo imagery — a strong third opinion alongside SRTM and Copernicus DEM.
ASTER GDEM
Gov-Public
A 30m global DEM reaching to 83° latitude — the go-to where SRTM/NASADEM have no coverage at all.
Arc Hydro
Free
Esri's free hydrology framework for ArcGIS Pro — terrain preprocessing and the data model behind many agency workflows.
FABDEM
Academic-only
Copernicus DEM with forests and buildings stripped out — the bare-earth DEM flood and drainage models actually want.
