Title: Find highest point around me
Post by: Polo6221 on April 30, 2026, 02:17:24 PM
Problem:

When exploring an area, I want to quickly identify the highest nearby point (hill, ridge, mountain peak, etc.) without manually scanning the map.

Proposed feature:

Find highest point within radius (e.g. 1–10 km) from current GPS position.

Output:
direction (bearing)
distance
elevation difference

The app already supports offline DEM data, so this could be computed locally. This would be a killer feature that I haven't seen in any other offline outdoor navigation app.

Hello, if I don't misunderstand your request, in the beta version there is a map tool that can meet your needs
Using dem files you can calculate the highest and lowest point in a given radius.

Hola.
Intento hacer como pones en el video, pero me da un error
"no se han encontrado valores para ese cuadro delimitador"

Tengo los archivos DEM, de hecho aparece la altitud DEM correctamente en el comienzo de mi video, en un cuadro azul


A ver si alguien me puede ayudar

Muchas gracias
