Elevation Profile with MapLibre GL

This example shows a route on a MapLibre GL map with an interactive elevation profile. Hovering over the profile highlights the corresponding segment on the map and shows a position marker.

Elevation Profile with Leaflet

This example shows a route on a Leaflet map with an interactive elevation profile. Hovering over the profile highlights the corresponding segment on the map and shows a position marker.

The elevation profile uses the MTK.ElevationProfile JavaScript class, loaded from the Maptoolkit CDN.
