internet? if so could someone give me a site address.

Google back in this group a week or three... OS maps seem to have
disappeared from places like multimap and streetmap but are on the OS
site.

http://www.heavens-above.com has such a feature.

Does it? I can't find it only Lat/Long co-ord entry or select a town
from the database. Which may not be particulary good for most towns in
this country due to hills.

And what precisely is wrong with somebody asking about how
to do something online that could previously only be done by
going out to a shop and buying something?

That's like saying to every poster here who wonders what the
weather is going to like, 'Watch the weather forecast on the telly'.

This is what I wrote a week or so ago in response to a similar request

'There are sites online which suggest they can provide your altitude based
on
settlement name, lat and long. In my experience not very accurate unless you
live in an area such as the Fens. Far better is to go to the Ordnance Survey
site
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/ In the 'Get-a-Map' window put
the name of your location (you may then have to select from a range if you
happen to live in Newport for example). Your map will appear but you should
then press the large + sign to get the 1:25000 scale with the 5metre contour
interval. Beware that some map sites simply enlarge the 1:50000 OS map which
only has a 10metre interval.After that you just have to find where you
live!'

Hi

U can estimate your altitude by going to multimap and selecting the
25,000 scale map for your postcode. You can see the contour lines and
spot heights in metres above sea level. If your lucky you may have a
convenient spot height nearby or if not youll have to find out what
level the contour line nearest your location is by movings around
following the line till you reach one stating the level. They are at 50m
intervals with lines every 10 metres.


Alternatively use Streetmap , u need the view mid level maps button to
get a map with contours on.

Nothing. I never said or even implied that there was. You can get maps,
especially local ones, in libraries. That's how I did it. Piece of ****, even
for a ten-year-old (possibly 9, could've been).
