How high is that ridge, really? NZ Elevation Tools puts New Zealand’s LINZ LiDAR – the most detailed elevation data ever collected for the country – into a fast map viewer that runs entirely in your browser. Click anywhere for an exact elevation, draw a line for an instant terrain profile, and flip between 2D and 3D views of the whole country.
Built for surveyors, engineers, farmers, trampers, and hunters – anyone in New Zealand who needs real heights rather than estimates.
